8079 The Bones Of The Dead

Don't worry, I am not going to start a thread on "horror" cooking! It is just that I am back from the All Saints Mass and I stopped at a wonderful pastry shop here in Spain, where I live, to buy some traditional sweets for this time of the year called "Huesitos de Santo" or Saint's little bones... and suddenly, I remembered that there are similar sweets sold in Italy during these festivities. They are called "Ossa dei Morti" or The Bones of the Dead, but I assure you that, in spite of their name, they are terrific. Recipes vary according to the different regions in Italy and you can have an idea of their variety by looking at [url=http://italianfood.about.com/od/holidaydishes/a/aa100999.htm]Ossa Dei Morti, The Bones of the Dead[/url]
Let's not get morbid.... and a warning about the translation of this word into Italian. Morbid translates as "morboso" and not "morbido", which means soft or tender in Italian.
