CARNIVAL EVERYTHING IS ALLOWED!!

CARNEVALE..OGNI SCHERZO VALE During Carnival every joke is allowed..it sounds more or less like that..
With the theatre reform in 1600 the masks become a public affair, they are not only on the stage but they are part of the people tradition.

Gianduia..speaks italian but has a deep piedmontese accent...Arlecchino a venetian accent.
Meneghino is from Milan...Tartaglia comes from south of Italy...Naples ..Colombina...and Rugantino..who can answer?
Bugie recipe:
Bugie means lies..chiacchere means chats probably 'cause they have an onomathopeic sound:
Ingredients
500 g Flour 00
50 g sugar
50 g butter better if softened
3 eggs
a glass of grappa
a pinch of salt
Work the ingredients adding the grappa and marsala little by little ( piano piano) and get a smooth, soft dough.
Cover for one hour cut and roll the dough with the pasta machine..immeditely fry.
Fry in peanut oil 'cause is lighter if you are in Piedmont (ahah) or Tuscany you might use lard is excellent!!
