Did you know? In the northern Italian region of #Trentino there's this kind of pasta, actually a sort of gnocchi, literally called "Priest-stranglers" (strangolapreti). Curiously, a bit more south (Emilia Romagna/marche) you find another different kind of pasta, called "Priest chockers" (strozzapreti). #Italy as strong catholic roots and equally strong anti-clerical roots, and all comes out in interesting mixes over the dinner table. #cooking #food
