Maybe we should start that tradition too. I like your ideas. My family got together for Christmas and several of us brought cookies our grandmother and mother had always made, but a day devoted to remembering them and sharing their stories would be even better.

We dipped veggies and fresh bread in it. Sounds awful, the odor stayed around forever, but so, so, so good. 1 pound anchovies + 1 pound butter + several cloves of garlic + 1 electric skillet = heaven, serves a whole family My grandmother made simplified Bagna Calda for New Year’s Eve (we called it bunya cala for some reason).

They always were my favourite, and I bake it in large quantities. And now my younger son has started to bake them, too. They are baked all over southern Germany, and I would love to read your recipe to see whether there is a difference between the Czech and the Bavatien recipe!
