Le Chiacchiere, or chit chat as it is literally translated, are a great Carnivale treat. They are fried dough sprinkled with powdered sugar. We buy a whole plate and it is GONE in a few hours. I went and got some this morning and there is no more. What can I say? We love them.
The panificio wraps the treats in a lovely paper with a ribbon.
These are great with coffee. Gilda says they got their name because the old women in the south would sit around and "chit chat" while making them:)
Oh they look so good!!! Hmmm chiacchere and zeppoline were so good last year! Definitely miss the food!
