2 Sweets of Carnevale:   Le Ricciole & Le Fritelle

Both of these sweets are fairly local specialties whose creation and consumption are reserved for the Carnevale season.

  2. I hadn't heard of "ricciole" yet. I was going to post on them, and their different regional names (in our family we use 3 different names for them).

  3. Hi there. I think your Fritelle are like the dutch olie bollen, which have a good dusting of powdered sugar over them. Delicious hot and when you're walking outside - but a bit messy!
