SCAMPI SOUP WITH CRAB MEAT BALLS OF THE GRANDMOTHER

This recipe I was inspired by a book I read many years ago: "The Bay" by James A. Michener.

Description extracted from Anobii

is a great saga that covers four centuries of history and American life, the existence of the tribe of innocent Susquehannocks, who lives in 1500 the untouched paradise of Maryland, the United States until 1978, after Watergate.
The quiet life is turned upside down by the natives two events: the discovery of Magical Leaf (tobacco) and the arrival of Big Canoe, the vessel of the white conqueror, appearing as if by magic in the Chesapeake Bay. Pentaquod, the chief of the tribe strong and gentle, will agree to share in harmony with whites the gifts of the earth. But soon the tobacco will make them enemies. The greedy white man can never have enough land and continues to extend its plantations by rejecting more and more native in marginalizing and thus breaking their alliance.
Day by day, the bay is filled with vessels that lead from Europe a human cargo of idealists, rapacious adventurers, jailbirds, in any case people decided to build a new life. It is already well delineated the face of America: honest living and work is represented by Edmund Steed and his descendants, while Timothy Thurlock is the symbol of the hard and ruthless exploitation, abuse, the thirst for wealth at the expense of the next . And yet, Paxmore family of Quakers, prefigure the Puritan conscience of America.
impossible to sum up the story, which perpetuated from one generation to the roles of the three families since the beginning of colonization.
The book is vast, rich in history, people, issues, myths and demystification: the rapacious conquest of the early settlers to the bold optimism of the people of the border: the unfair trade of enslaved blacks, the linchpin of the new wealth, the struggles for abolitionism and the resulting conflict between different faiths ... to this day.
This magnificent fresco of men and nature, which dominates here with his mother's intense beauty and generosity, is finally resolved by the author with a natural disaster that, in 1978, this beautiful stage and remove its beautiful scenery. Of great effort, the intense, worldly passions nothing remains of the first Americans ...

My review Anobii

Paper read several years ago. I find it very nice the first part with description of places and done very well articulated. One star less for the fact that the last part almost seems that the author had to end quickly and I have not found it so interesting as the rest.

--------------------------------

I love this book because I read it when I was a boy who had the dream of going to the States and read a novel that tells a story that will not be true but it certainly is likely, in an area of \u200b\u200bthe United States from 1500 to the twentieth century, made me want even more to discover a nation who still dream of going to visit.

In the first part of the book references to food that I remember are hunting geese with cooking on a spit and soup crabs that were apparently abundant in the Chesapeake Bay. The latter was not clearly indicated the recipe but I liked to imagine how it could be done and adapt it to this day above all respecting the delicate flavor of crab meat.
The first few times I did it using the small crabs that common in the Adriatic during the period of the suit, but have a soft shell, since it is rather boring, clean and remove the flesh, now find it much more convenient to buy the meat in brine .
