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.

They sound quite tasty.
We have them in Sweden, but I can't remember ever trying one.
Interesting, VP. I'm not familiar with them.
These look wonderful and tasty.
And what happens when you've had a kilo of them?! It looks so good!
Certainly looks tasty. We have many similar things in Malaysia.

Ooooh, that looks good. We loved wandering around cities in Italy and purchasing tasty treats at local bakeries. This looks so yummy!
Interesting about the names.
That's a lot of money, no?
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.
Your nice picture must be the friend ones. They must be the best.
Makes the senses fly.
Please have a good Wednesday.
Oh I think if they are going to be dusted in sugar VP, you may as well go the whole way and enjoy them the tasty deep fried way, they look so good!
yum yum :)
