When the person on the video cannot even pronounce the name of the dish properly, you know it is not the real thing. (in bruschetta the "ch" is pronounce like a "k"). And of course there are a lot of superfluous ingredients like capers.

@c2thedub14: Interesting, in most other nations than the US you are not considered a "pompous asshole" for knowing foreign languages...

[c2thedub14]

@ingecarina yeah, you have a point. but then you have those people that try to hard to say it, and end up sounding like pompous assholes (pardon my french). those people also tend to be upper middle class, or upper class.

@c2thedub14 : Well, I don't about that. It's usually Americans who don't know, or care, how to pronounce words in foreign languages; it's an Italian word so why not pronounce it properly. It would be kind of fun to see when the same people are trying to order Caesar Salad or Pasta Alfredo in Italy, only to find out that neither exists there. By the way, Mario Batali has some really good bruschetta recipes in his newest book "Molto Gusto".

@ingecarina oh dont be so picky. 90% of the world says bruSHetta. but you are right, he really doesnt know how to make decent bruSHetta.

balsamic vinegar has a better flavor than red wine for bruschetta, capers dont belong, and use Roma/plum tomatoes. they're more flavorful and less watery than the beefsteak tomatoes shown here. they put way too much oil on the bread, there doesnt need to be any. and who can fit a 1" piece of bread in their mouth? 1/4-1/2 an inch are more manageable, and draw more attention to the bruschetta since there's less of it.

i make mine a little different.... toast the baguette, add fresh mozzarella, sliced roma tomatoes *NOT DICED*, topped with basil pesto in the center of the mozzarella then sprinkle black pepper over the bruschetta! looks great taste even better try it out let me know what you think...
