Gnocchi di Susine alla Triestina

Friuli-Venezia Giulia — Trieste

Trieste's sweet-savoury dumpling — a potato-based gnocco dough wrapped around a whole Italian plum (susina), which is then boiled and finished with melted butter, toasted breadcrumbs, sugar, and cinnamon. When cut open at the table, the hot plum releases its sweet-tart juice into the buttery, breadcrumbed exterior. A direct import from Austrian-Bohemian cuisine (Zwetschkenknödel), now embedded in Triestine cooking as a first course on Sundays. Neither pasta nor dessert — it occupies its own category.

Pinza Triestina di San Gregorio

Friuli-Venezia Giulia — Trieste

Trieste's enriched festival bread baked on the feast of San Gregorio (March 12) — a soft, domed brioche-style loaf flavoured with anise seeds, grappa, lemon zest, and Marsala wine. The dough is enriched with eggs and lard, resulting in a pale, tender, finely structured crumb with a glossy, egg-washed crust. The combination of anise and Marsala gives pinza an unmistakably archaic flavour profile that connects it to ancient Roman festival breads. Eaten sliced, plain, or with Montasio.
