General Cooking Questions

I grew up in Plymouth, Massachusetts in a Portuguese and Italian family. My grandfather was an old Port. from Lysbon and owned a fishing trawler. My childhood was filled with wire fish baskets full of the days catch. We had a local deli in town called Clydes (Clyde Balboni) that made several old world foods, one of them being a bread called Noike (pronounced N-gnocchi). Sadly, I moved away, the Balboni family didn't have an heirs to pass the recipe too. Clydes is now owned by a family that is generations removed from the original, and it aint the same.
