The name means literally rags and it is used in this part of Tuscany, but I understand that you can find them almost everywhere under other funny and different names like “bugie” (lies) or “chiacchiere” (chit-chat). Here they are usually sold during the Carnival, mostly in bakeries, and one kg costs around 18 Euro.

When I was little (in Chicago), my grandmother would cut off the extra pie dough and bake such strips for me, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon.
