It's an American dish named for an Italian.

My version was a wedding gift recipe from the mother of a friend over 42 years back. It is a go to favorite of ours. She was an American and definately not italian, so that fits in well with your claim.

This is her recipe almost exactly reproduced for the 187th time (Well maybe 173rd time give or take a few, but cooked at our house a lot of times over 42 or 43 years for certain).

I never considered it to be Italian. I always thought it might be Jewish, except not orthodox because of the mixed meat and dairy stuff, so it's definately not Kosher. Maybe it's a traditional Central Mississippi dish, because she was.
