Bluebirds with an Italian Connection

[Harry Lime]

Correct Harry. My dad was from Bardi and took me to my first City game in 66/67 season.
Bracchi ended up a generic name for the cafes that were in every valley town, like station cafe, Blackwood. They sold food quite cheap and had the big silver coffee machine that made frothy coffee so hot it would burn the roof of your mouth away. Asteys in town was the same.

Incredible how so many came from a very small village. We had a bracchi in Margam owned by the Tambini family. I remember place decked out in bunting and flags in 1982 when Italy won the world cup. The cafe is still there, owned by the same family. Somebody told me that the owner's son is a regular at the CCS.

I like pasta and pizza.

Did you know that many names of pasta can be translated thus:

Linguine: little tongues
Fettuccini: little ribbons
Spaghetti: little strings
Vermicelli: little worms
Farfalline: little butterflies
Penne: pens/feathers (as in quills)
Strozzapretti: priest chokers
Tortelli: little pies

Ciao.
