Bugie di Carnevale.
Le frappe in ogni regione cambiano nome… in Liguria credo si chiamino bugie (anzi per l’esattezza böxiein dialetto genovese), anche se molto spesso le sento chiamare anche chiacchiere, che su Wikipedia leggo essere la dicitura più in uso a La Spezia.
Qualunque sia il nome che vogliamo dare loro, le bugie di Carnevale sono un dolce semplice e gustoso, che una volta all’anno è divertente preparare e consumare in famiglia.
