@emanate @Aradia@mastodon.social @Soreth While I haven't seen it myself, I suspect it's a reference to a film called Big Night, which is notoriously about an Italian dish called a timpano. (Basically, it's a compressed pasta dish made in a mold. More traditionally, it's called a timballo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timballo)
@emanate @Aradia@mastodon.social @Soreth (And of course, having already invoked "Italian" and "family" and "dinner" I feel I need not explain how this all connects with "God damn it! I should fucking kill you!" ;) )
