She's always either trying to find those or make some. Then she pushes them on the rest of us - and while I love almost all Italian food, I'm not a huge fan of anise. As a total non-sequitir, I have to say, though, that the best Chinese food I've ever had was in Italy.areyoukiddingmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107214079237461141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653918949927893637.post-62790346759831444112009-07-24T04:32:32.001-07:002009-07-24T04:32:32.001-07:00Mmm!

My husband is from the northwest part of Germany, and it is tradition there that on New Years Day, you go by to all of your neighbors' houses and have a shot and a cookie. I don't know what the cookies are called in German, but they are very similar to a pizelle, only they get rolled into tubes or horns (or sometimes wedges). They don't have that same anise flavor, but they are similar in texture. My step-MIL sends them to us every year at christmas, and that is my absolute favorite part of the annual package. <br /><br />I am just about as non-Italian as I could be (well, I am a bit cajun, so you never know what mix that makes up, but still. England, Scotland, France... these are what comprises most of my ancestry), but I'm beginning to think that I was Italian in another life. With my love for good food, good wine, good music and gorgeous art, I could see that being the case!katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056463808792013011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653918949927893637.post-1766387225707188022009-07-23T23:13:41.129-07:002009-07-23T23:13:41.129-07:00I've never had one, but they look yummy!
