How about sales and consumption?

Well that too is a relative matter. Less population means less demand. Again, we have a lot more people in this country. Maybe your market didn't stock it due to few demanding it. Even chain supermarkets stock based on their area.

I can tell you we didn't just have it in lasagne growing up. On holidays there was always an Italian cheese cake, which is made with ricotta and/or there were cannolli.

Ricotta has been around since medieval times, in Italy.

I was using google to see when Italian cuisine rose in popularity. Couldn't find much, except to find it is the most popular ethnic food today here. I was surprised. I thought it would be Mexican.

That was someone else. But I've seen that online as a way to do it. Bizarre but apparently it works.

Got it, not sure why I thought that was you.

Ah that is why mine is soupy. Thanks

Looks good!

Lasagna takes me a damn long time to make, but I make it probably 3-4 times a year. I have a 4.5" deep pan I use, so my lasagna is deep. It freezes well, which is nice.

I always start with my own homemade tomato sauce, which makes it take longer.

For the meat, I use a combination of beef or veal, sausage, and lamb. Something about the lamb gives it a deeper, meaty flavor. Damn good.
