We ...My mother made this often when I was growing. We called it giambott and she made it with hot dogs but no potatoes. However, she would poach eggs on top. The combination of the yolk and tomatoes was delicious even if it sounds strange. After making this dish myself i found it challenging to cook the eggs without overcooking the vegetables. I'm glad I found other who have heard of this dish.anitamariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07707864407607526484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-79956600283881922682013-12-10T20:06:56.761-05:002013-12-10T20:06:56.761-05:00My great-grandmother (in NYC) made this for my gra...My great-grandmother (in NYC) made this for my grandmother and we passed the recipe down four generations. We called it ciambott' but my cousins called it frankfurters ciambott'. It was a stew made with hot peppers, hot dogs and tomato sauce. My grandmother would take the insides out of a loaf of bread, stuff the bread with the stew, and use the insides of the bread to make a "cap". In the region where my family is from in Italy, they make a vegetable ciambott' with potatoes, tomato, and eggplant and they stuff it in bread, as well. I thought we were the only faily who used hot dogs!banconcinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13346695555679557094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-18311667963783479242012-05-03T17:35:22.798-04:002012-05-03T17:35:22.798-04:00Chef, this recipe really brought back childhood me...Chef, this recipe really brought back childhood memories. My Italian grandmother used to make it and taught my non-Italian mother how to make it and I make it now. Ours always had wieners in it, sometimes Italian sausage too. We pronounced it "jum broth" and were more likely to have it in colder weather than in the summer. Until now, I never really heard of anyone else making it. Now, the mystery is over. Thanks again.Axel14222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-6066090075025363832009-10-28T09:23:12.851-04:002009-10-28T09:23:12.851-04:00I love this dish, however it's pronounced! My ...I love this dish, however it's pronounced! My mom said her mother called it "Jumath" or "Jumbat."<br /><br />When I'd ask my mother what we were having for dinner she'd say: "We're having potatoes, tomatoes..." LOL. <br /><br />She typically used hot dogs too or chopped up pieces of pepperoni, which adds an incredible flavor to it! Sometimes she'd add a little rice as well.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-31563558381083155802009-10-17T19:46:14.480-04:002009-10-17T19:46:14.480-04:00I and also my hubby are second generation italians...I and also my hubby are second generation italians. My Dad and his Mom made this when were kids - minus the meat and with eggplant (which is today one of my most favorite veggies thanks to this recipe) and with lots of fresh crusty italian bread that we would dip! Unfortunately my Dad never wrote down the recipe so it was lost until now. I searched and found this recipe on your blog and we recently made it with sausage and it was fabulous - thanks so much for the recipe - it was great and tasted so much like my Dad's! <br /><br />Debi - Boston, MADebraw0117https://www.blogger.com/profile/10286097656822250353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-37582021077005946542009-01-25T06:30:00.000-05:002009-01-25T06:30:00.000-05:00I have been asking people about this recipe for ye...I have been asking people about this recipe for years. Nobody knew what the heck "john bought" was. It looks just like my Mom's john bought. I can't wait to make it for my family and to taste it again after so many years. By the way, my Mom used hot dogs too or bologna if she had no hot dogs.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13375839854214842975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-57603882427763350652008-08-16T09:38:00.000-04:002008-08-16T09:38:00.000-04:00We pronounce it "Jumbotha" and Ive never had it wi...We pronounce it "Jumbotha" and Ive never had it with the sausage in it but it looks great - cant imagine it with hotdogs though!Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04923381133752092322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-11697385619324607812007-08-02T03:12:00.000-04:002007-08-02T03:12:00.000-04:00thanks, thats the highest compliment!thanks, thats the highest compliment!Chef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-34828325114745495372007-08-02T02:45:00.000-04:002007-08-02T02:45:00.000-04:00Not sure if you have an alert to responses to day ...Not sure if you have an alert to responses to day old blogs but here goes...<BR/><BR/>I'm glad I could help.
