"A monumental dish of our most authentic gastronomy, they explain, minestra maritata, descends from the olla potrida Spanish, better known in the 1600s as "fat piñata" and magnified by Del Tufo, Corrado and Cavalcanti, our three great gastronomes. This wonderful soup, in which the vegetables are "marinated" with the "sausage" is a unique dish, classically winter, not to be confused with Easter soup, called de' carduncielli, which can be considered its twin. It must be said that the pork must be the one preserved in salt, while the vegetables are chicory, escarole, lettuce, cardoncello, borage, black broccoli, cabbage, lactarola, wild fennel, possibly wild, harvested with great patience and dosed with equal wisdom."
