A little wikipedia knowledge for the lay people...But, first, I would have to say it was an intense night at the lasagna cook off. We had some name calling and possibility of recipe sabotage earlier this week. Doors and windows were locked. A guard dog was rented for the week to protect the age old recipes.
Second, we came together with a peaceful attitude and ceased the intense aggressiveness which was brought on earlier this past week. The portions were stacked and the eating commenced. I loved it. And now wikipedia...
The word "lasagna" is derived from the Greek word "lasanon" meaning chamber pot. The word was later borrowed by the Romans as "lasanum" to mean cooking pot. The Italians then used the word to refer to the dish in which what is now known as lasagna is made. The word lasagna or lasagne (plural) now simply applies to the food itself.[4] The British (and Italians) generally use the plural "lasagne" to mean both the dish and the pasta while the Americans commonly use the singular "lasagna".

We just had lasagne today for Mother's Day at Jason's Nana's house. There is no other lasagne quite like this 93 year old woman's. She even grinds her own pork and beef to make the meatballs. But I'm open to tasting all lasagnes. I'm always on the hunt for the best everything. The one's posted looked absolutely delicious. Sounds like an extemely yummy evening. So I have to ask was there a winner? Jason and I were laughing because we were visualizing Nana in the kitchen with each one of you as you made your lasagne. She would scold you, boss you, and tell you you've done everything wrong. She did this to me last time I made Christmas cookies with her. She said I wasn't cutting out cookies correctly just to give you and example. I know this posting will tantalize Danny and Heddy to make a lasagne with her. Then they will have to get 3 guard dogs.
