#45 Forgotten Italian Classics: Smacafam (Trentino)
Born in the Trentino mountains, smacafam was made to “beat hunger,” a simple mix of flour, fat, and sausage baked until golden and rich enough to feed a crowd. I love how it fills the kitchen, because the smell of sausage and bread mixing with cold mountain air is umbetable. Once a Carnival pie, now it’s just as comforting baked in small portions, still warm from the oven after a long day outside. Hearty, rustic, and honest, it’s the evidence that even the humblest dishes can fill both belly and spirit.
For the full recipe, story, method, tips & tricks, and wine pairing, join the table on Substack (link in bio).

In Thailand we make similar cakes from pork sausage, eggs, lard and flour but fried or steamed. There is one type made with fresh pork, and another made with sour fermented pork that tastes similar to salami
Is that a meat muffin? Extraordinary
Piatto della mia regione🎉🎉🎉🎉
Fantastico
I really love your videos! I’m from Trentino! I wanted to tell you that this dish (and also the canederli you showed some time ago) is still prepered in restaurants. It is usually served as a starter 💪🏻 we definitly did not “forgot” it and especially the canerderli which are quite a common dish 🤩 keep up with the good coocking 💪🏻
Where can we find the full recipes?
hunger beater? smack-afam?? they knew what they were doing
That looks more like chestnut flour ❤
Thank you
Haha sei veloce, è arrivato presto lo smacafam, grandeee 🔥🔥
That looks great! Great content. Keep it up!
Un altro spettacolo della cucina creato da un artista dell’arte culinaria!!!GRANDE MASSI!!!
Carino lo smacafam a forma di muffin. Di solito si fa nella teglia rettangolare. Lo proverò.
Ps: sempre video bellissimi🎉
Madonna che legnata di calorie. Me ne servono subito sessanta
Bueno, eso es una magdalena, tampoco nos flipemos.
What I love about so many of these dishes is how clearly utilitarian they are, old school “struggle meals” essentially, and you can just tell they’re absolutely bomb
this looks like a perfect breakfast to me, i'll definitely be trying it out soon! ❤
This is exactly the kind of thing I would expect to see in much colder climates. I'm surprised to find it in a "temperate" country like Italy. Incredible!!
If I'm not mistaken λουκάνικα (loukánika) means sausages in Greek, so this recipe has sausages sausage in it, I love it.
Any idea how well these freeze? Because they look good but there's no way I'd eat a full batch before they turned without freezing them
Can you demonstrate how to make TRUE olive-oil cakes?
Also, what's the best dessert for Christmas?
By the way its “classics” not “classic”
Grandissimo! Piatto trentinazzo quasi dimenticato!
why is it that color? Special flour?
Why don't you try to improve your English pronunciation 😢😢😢😢
You are on a mission, a mission I love. Keep up the great job!

Like toad in the hole
Ottimo lavoro facendo conoscere al mondo la bella cucina italiana, molto profonda, lontano della pizza y la pasta
Ti meriti più visualizzazioni . Bravo ❤
Il tuo lavoro è importante per gli stessi italiani
I thought that was a chocolate muffin
Lmao Italian toad in the hole
prepara la “panzanella”
Reminds me of toad-in-the-hole.
Peasant's dishes geniunly are so much better than all the fancy stuff
In veneto (Vicenza) il macafame e' una torta fatta con pane vecchio ammollato in latte o acqua 1 mela 1 uovo 1 cucchiaio di zucchero e uvetta…
Every italian sounds like daniele boellie to me
Parece un pan dulce salado
sei 'unico che porta sempre piatti veramente mai visti neanche da noi. Dirti bravo sarebbe riduttivo
