A Buonvicino example

In Buonvicino, kid roasted with potatoes is a local dish, especially around Easter; at Civita, try capretto alla civitese. Keep these local preparations distinct when choosing a recipe. Choose the meat by its actual breed and origin rather than treating the regional dish name as a breed guarantee.
