Trivia[]
John Saxon and Jsu Garcia also appeared in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). John Saxon as Nancy's father and Jsu Garcia as Rod Lane (Tina's boyfriend)
The title refers to the common old English idiom: "The proof of the pudding" or "the proof of the pudding is in the eating".
Goofs: Sfogi in Saor is what Bernardi was making. When Jessica brought up plumping up the raisins in hot water, by plumping up the raisins, allowing the vinegar in which is also an ingredient in the dish to be absorbed into the raisins, would mask the sweetness of the raisins rendering the meal sour, not sweet & sour.
When Avocino was killed the killer wasn't known yet, so how could they prove that Jeannine had shot him before the flashback to show her killing Avocino?
Victim(s): Bernardo Bonelli and Paul Avoncino
Killer: Jeanine Bonelli
Cause of Death: Stabbed with a carving knife; two gunshots.
Motive: Revenge for Bernardo's poor treatment of his nephew (and her husband) Phil Bonelli; to prevent him from challenging Phil's ownership of the restaurant.
