Can you walk me through the menu a little bit tonight? Tell me what are the foods that we see here?

So tonight we have spinach pie from Greece,

Paeia from Algeria, Melanzana,

Parmigana, which is made from Naples.

We also have a lot of desserts. Yeah, let's go walk over the desserts.

Oh my God, that's a good.

I'm at an annual holiday party where attendees bring incredible homemade dishes from all over the world to share.

Now this event is very exclusive. It takes place on a remote island and it's

not open to the public. I've having a lot of plates shoved in my face suddenly.

The spinach pie. Yes, okay.

What is this magical place? The spinach pie, yes, okay.

What is this magical place where people fill your plate with all these amazing dishes? Well, the answer involves a guy dealing with the grief of losing his mother and the grandmas who saved him.

This is the Sportful.

It's not for foodies, it's for eaters. I'm Dan Pashman.

Each week on our show we obsess about food to learn more about people.

Before we get into the show, I have a quick but very important note that I think you're going to be happy to hear, all

right?

My friends at Sfolini are about to launch their big Black Friday Cyber Monday sale.

That means big discounts on all my pastas, Cascatelli, Quatrattini, and Vesuvio.

They're great stocking stuffers or teacher gifts

or just things to have on hand

when you need a gift to go to a party
