Hope you guys had a nice Easter break over there - by the way, I recently learned that Italy's signature Easter cake was born as a publicity stunt motivated by the need to recycle and reuse bits and pieces of Christmas cake ingredients, this made me think about how the Confederation will almost certainly see an alternate development of cuisine, too.
Maybe the ATL equivalent of the colomba will be cooked up (quite literally) during Passover by a Roman Jew eager to flip centuries of Papal rule the finger after the establishment of the Republic, who knows - cue the Catholic contingent of Rome buying scores of said cake to add insult to injury, with His Holiness being completely powerless inside the Vatican or even at the Bourbon court because why not, it happened before, and I don't think Sicily's crowning of a near-Jacobin made the king in Naples any more liberal.
