Beautiful essay!

Also, is the mostarda cremonese piccante (spicy) or just sweet? Never tried the marubini, never even heard of them!

It can be either!

I have an Ital/American friend who seriously cooks.. She is turning 70 next week. I will send this story to her with a promise of a grappa sometime soon.
