Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I had to look up "Arrosticini" to be sure that the meat is not the part that is cut off.
It is not! So, perhaps the castrated mutton is less gamy. Note that it is mutton meat and not lamb.
That's what I was wondering as well. He said they were small!
OK, not really 'foreign', but AFAIK, you cannot get beignets outside of New Orleans. At least I've never seen them. And as wonderful as they are fresh out of the fryer, I also recall taking some back to the hotel room, and you just don't want to eat them later. And this was probably just hours later.
They are just a bit of dough, deep fried and topped with powdered sugar. I'm not big on such things, but these were just wonderful. I could go for some a few times a year as a treat, if I could find them.
