Mostaccioli abruzzesi B · Da inzuppo

Must and honey diamonds, wine-dough rings, and the great confused cousin of the ferratelle iron.

Tarallucci al vino B · Da inzuppo
Wine-dough ring biscuits, the Abruzzo stretch of the wine-ring belt that runs from the Castelli Romani to Basilicata.
N.° III PAT · il ferro
Pizzelle · Ferratelle C · Cugino
Waffle-iron wafers pressed between ancestral irons — the region’s beloved cousin, endlessly mistaken for the family, and never twice-baked. The naming runs opposite to the story usually told: Abruzzo registers the product officially as <em>pizzelle</em>, and it is Molise and Lazio that register <em>ferratelle</em>. Inside Abruzzo the word changes by province again — nevola around Teramo, pizzella or catarretta around Chieti. The map is sub-provincial, and no clean regional split survives contact with the register.
