Italian..maybe because I am italian..I grew up with it..its the easiest for me and the tastiest too.. Christmas dinner..Family and Friends come together and make loads of food to enjoy..Nothing better then smiles and laughter during the holidays..and a good glass of wine helps too..hehehe well it was a b-day party and I made this onion dip..well when it says to "chop" onions I should follow that..because I put them in the food processor so it released the juices..WOW talk about nasty!! No I did not serve it I had plenty to fall back on..whew!!!
