Sicily Scene: CARNIVAL TIME

Tuesday, February 08, 2011

I like the fact that the Carnival chiacchiere biscuits are different from pasticceria to pasticceria, even in the same town.

Saretta said...: huh, I've never seen them with chocolate...yum!; 3:28 pm
Patricia said...: I love the name of this cookie! I guess they do look like tongues. When I was little I was a chatterbox and my grandmother always called me a chiacchierona.; 6:10 pm
Marian said...: These look delicious. I have never seen, far less tasted biscuits like this. I'm enjoying The Leopard so far (about half way through)...boy am I glad that I live now and not then.; 4:34 am
Whispering Walls said...: That's an incentive to travel around a bit!; 10:12 am
James Higham said...: Allows one to pop into this one, then that one, as is one's wont.; 1:32 pm
Welshcakes Limoncello said...: They are very yummy with chocolate, Saretta. Hi, Patricia. They do a bit but they may also get their name from the "Psst" noise they make when being fried. Oh, you must come and try some, Marian! Glad you are enjoying the book. They are indeed, WW. Exactly, James.; 10:08 pm
Ellee Seymour said...: Yummy :); 5:59 pm
Welshcakes Limoncello said...: You'd love them, Ellee.; 12:24 am
