Walnut Sauce aka Salsa di Noci is the second most famous pasta sauce from near Genoa where Podesta's grandfather is from. The most famous is basil pesto which also uses nuts: pinenuts. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/223028/salsa-di-noci/ http://www.divinacucina.com/2015/06/walnut-sauce-salsa-di-noci/ https://lizearlewellbeing.com/salsa-di-noci-walnut-sauce-pasta/

cool, thanks for the links. looks tasty. chefs for hillary eh?

I've actually made walnut sauce before, and walnut pancakes too, very nice.

the thing i don't get is how boggled they are with how over the top good this walnut pasta is. It comes across as earth shattering.

But that's not what bothers me. It's the "Haha Jim has no idea what he's talking about." That turns my understanding of this walnut sauce upside down. Jim's statement is plainly worded, and consistent with the news about the event, and yet he has no idea what he's talking about. I have no idea what Eryn is talking about, but we have to understand that "walnut sauce" probably is best understood in another context.

Sure, the other reading of Eryn's statement is that the walnut sauce is even better than that. Or that she's saying that and sucking up to podesta. Or that the walnut sauce was a bust. None of that fits well with the "Haha" inside joke thing. That strongly suggests walnut sauce is not what we think it is.

But, who knows, maybe they're just a bunch of wild and crazy pasta pinochle people wanting wanton walnut sauce.
