(Maurizio Crispi) I had the unexpected pleasure to find in England one of the favorite cookies of my childhood. It is rectangular biscuits stuffed balenie with fig preserve. balenie As a child I ate in industrial quantities, especially in my afternoon snack. But I also remember that when I attended the school (it was the 'Dear Alberigo of Palermo, where he taught my mother) the janitors - to arrontodare their salaries - were small businesses under the table that included the sale of various games, but still small (including the "chains of plastic" - I do not know if anyone Serbian memory - that Rano undoubtedly the most popular kind, and always plastic toy soldiers, or square numbers, precursors and simple - two-dimensional - the Rubik's Cube), but especially balenie candy and other sweets from cheap: among these were numbered even biscuits with fig jam in plastic single material. Though I always carry with me the snacks balenie prepared at home, with a few coins in my possession, from time to time, I bought one, but remember that they sold to petty did not taste good as those at home. The other day in a supermarket in London, well stocked, while looking for the "Garibaldi" (my other passion of youth), I came across the fig roll and did not seem real. I bought them right away and I assure you that they went like hot cakes. The most delicious were the ones that I ate during my nocturnal awakenings during the night, chewing slowly and savoring with your eyes closed ... A real pleasure! In Italy it is a long time since I've lost sight of, at least, balenie in the supermarkets I frequent I have not seen more and I'm sorry. Evidently, in our part of the fig roll are no longer profitable in large chains balenie of production balenie and / or distribution.
(From Wikipedia) The fig roll pastry is an Egyptian That dates back to ancient Egypt, filled with fig paste. The fig roll is still eaten in Egypt today Regularly.
