Trentino, it would appear, has had the kind of Austro-Hungarian/Italian battle of ownership that Alsace Lorraine has had. Originally conquered by the Romans, it was then taken by The Hapsburg Empire in 1363, and remained under Austrian rule until the end of World War I when it was given to the Italians. Mussolini, who was not afraid of extreme changes and rewriting history where it suited him, began the
Italianization (which should always be written in Italics) of the area. During World War II, it was used by the Nazis as the Operation Zone of the Alpine Foothills. It is now an Autonomous Region of Italy.
But what about the food?
We are proud to say that the entree of Potato cake (giant potato hashbrown) and Radicchio salad were both BUTTER FREE. To continue the amazement, the main was also SENZA BURRO! We're practically losing weight by eating this...
The Meal consisted of:
Potato cake - which as Sikeli described as "Fancy McDonalds Hashbrown" and, lets face it, who doesn't like Maccas Hashbrowns?

| Potato Cakes |
Radicchio salad
Beef Goulash & Spatzle (Gnocchetti di farina) with Red Cabbage Timbale
Followed by Melissa's amazing Apple strudle
