The end of Carnival, the beginning of Lent

These days are a good time to compare pur traditions and celebrations. The tradition of carnival is not as deeply celebrated in Poland as it is for example in Italy. Our traditions invplve Fat Thursday and shrove Tuesday (in Poland celebrated as "śledź" (a herring day). it is a deeply rooted tradition related to the fact that with lent meat was replaced by fosh (herring).

And Lent begins with Ash Wednesday. On this day we fast and come to church and priests place ash on our heads to remind of our human mortality and as a sign of repentance to God.

La cicerchiata di Carnevale ... ITALY

 A TYPICAL CARNIVAL RECIPE . THE “CICERCHIATA” ( thanks to our English teacher Letizia Cannavina !)

This is a typical cake eaten during the Carnival until Ash Wednesday, because on this day we usually don’t eat meat and cakes of all sorts. Its name derives from the particular shape of this cake, the chickpeas. If you want to make and taste this fantastic and delicious cake, here you are the recipe:

Ingredients for about 8 people: 3 eggs, flour  (in a sufficient quantity), some honey, a lemon – the lemon peel must be grated, a glass of olive oil and a pinch of baking powder.

Mix flour with eggs and the grated lemon peel; then add oil and the baking powder until having a medium soft dough.   Now make some cylinders with the dough  and cut it in small pieces , then try to make them in the shape of chickpeas with the help of your fingers. In a large pan, pour some oil and then fry the small “chickpeas”. After that heat the honey in a large pot and mix the chickpeas softly. Then, on a wet plate, put the chickpeas ring shaper, and decorate with almonds, pieces of chocolate or coloured sugarcoated pills. 

Enjoy it

Il Carnevale d'Abruzzo ITALY

The 58th edition of Carnevale d'Abruzzo was held on 10th of  February 2013

At the parade partecipate  wagons carried out by experienced masters of paper pulp... and 

also folk groups, music bands, dancers, and the general public, especially children, dressed in costume.

Emblem of the carnival is Patanello. It is said that the mask is inspired by a cobbler "zi 'patane" lived between the late 800 and early 900 in this  beautiful city of Abruzzo.

He was an eccentric and charismatic character, who loved party and wine.  Re Patanello still opens the procession followed by all the other floats and masks by the different groups.

... and everywhere sweets and hot sandwiches
