I cringe when I'm out with other people and someone tries to order
gnochhi.... it's hard to explain how you make the "gn" sound with
your tongue and the roof of your mouth.....
My grandfather tried to teach me how to make it before he died, but
he couldn't. His way was based on a lifetime of knowing how it
should feel when the mixture was right, and it was something he just
couldn't teach. He was also a whiz at rolling them off of a fork
with his thumb, something I never got the hang of.
