What sicilian cookies? What I am referring to is a type of fried dough. My grandmother's recipe calls for mashed potatoes, flour, yeast, water. The dough rises twice. Using well-oiled hands, we pull small pieces of dough out twisting it and then fry it. Great with honey or sugar! Mah! What sicilian cookies? What I am referring to is a type of fried dough.

I've been there many times. I'm a big fan of octopus but it has to be cooked properly. Are you referring to the Sicilian cookies? We don't make them but I think my brother-in-law might at his Pastry Shop. You may also be the winner Linda! by default of course:)

It looked good, it smelled good, but all i could think of was a live octopus squiggling down my throat. Never did acquire the ability to swallow it. :-) Anyway, I make something similar to your baccala dish. Either baccala soaked for days (frequent water changes) or fresh merluzzo. I cook it in the oven with potato, onion, fresh tomatoes, and green olives. Not too specific by way of a recipe but that's how I cook. Do you make cudurieddi?
