Although there is an old Bove family recipe, I gather that they do not
follow it closely. Tuma is listed but they do not use it. They do use
white pepper. Otherwise I think it is just an assortment of meats, cheeses
and eggs. They also do not use a crust and put in acini de pepe instead. I
screwed up last year and used ditalini. It came out okay, but I think the
smaller pasta is better.

This year instead of chasing all over looking for Italian meats that aren't
necessarily easy to find here, I started with an assortment from Costco. I
also didn't buy as much ham as called for but I'm sure it will be fine. I
am just hoping not to have far too many. I may be able to give away one or
two but most people I know don't eat this sort of thing as it is very rich
and fatty.

Husband's cousin just made his. I saw a pic. He has enough to cover the
top of a huge dining table. I won't need that many.

Do you make them at your house?
