It's a tradition every new year for our family, and the stories are the best! I'm glad you footnoted that meat is not traditional because I had never heard that. But also.....butter?!? For real? Sounds like a travesty to me. We stick to garlic, olive oil, anchovies, and a dash of cream. Served with all kinds of veggies. I heard stories that it was best (or at least very traditional) with cardone (cardoon in English) but I've never seen that sold here so have never tried.
Thanks for commenting Diana. It's great to hear different variations (even however slightly) of bagna càuda traditions throughout the Piedmont community!
