WHAT IN SICILY?


A "What?" rather than a "Where?" for you to work out this week: what are these called and what would they have been used for? [Yes, I've mentioned them on the blog several times before!]

Answer on tomorrow's post.

They are obviously raffia work micro phalluses (phallii?) used in local fertility celebrations!! Am I right?

Wine bottle coolers?

Chervil said...

Mhh - bottle shaped, maybe to hide your best olive oil in?

I know, I know but I'm not allowed to say. At least they keep them out of the way of little mouths.

Are they anything to do with cooking rice?

Well they remind me of things you put over the side of the boat to stop it banging against the wharf except being raffia or such that is probably not very practical.

JMB - very close in a cheesy sort of way.

Close, mutley!
Cherrypie and Chervil - excellent guesses.
I always knew my secrets woud be safe with you, James!
I see your logic, MM.
Brilliant guess, jmb.
Ciao di nuovo, James.

Individual chilli holders? perfect for saving little mouths from burning....

For rolling things.

No, that doens't tie in with James's clues.

That's original , jams! Good idea, Liz. They were, in fact, ricotta holders.
