Garibaldis' receipe for "italian fondue" S2 Ep4

[Talwyn]

Hi there,

In episode 4 of season 2 we see Garibaldi arguing with Dr.Franklin over his special meal to honour his dad.
Now I don't know if this is the correct spelling - Bounya Couta? - but I was wondering if anyone had ever actually found the receipe or had JMS just made this up?

Bagna Cauda is indeed a real dish.

There is a version of this recipe that appears in the Babylon 5 cook book -Dining on Babylon 5 (Amazon). Or, you could do a search around for a recipe.

Hope that helps!

I believe it was made on one of the cooking shows on the Food Network just a couple of weeks ago. You might want to go there and do a search.

Whilst not Italian, I am Spanish so this dish to me sounds like pure heaven!

It's generally a New Year's Eve dish. We have it every year.
