Here in Puglia, dried fruit isn’t just a way to end a meal—it’s a true ritual, celebrated especially on Sundays and holidays. In every family, there’s almost always an “official representative” whose job is to carefully select walnuts, salted almonds, pistachios, fried fava beans, and roasted peas. This crunchy platter is brought to the table to accompany the best part of the meal: the time for chatting. It’s the perfect excuse not to get up right away, to linger a little longer with loved ones, munching and drifting off into confidences, news, and shared stories.
