On the second day, again starting in the afternoon, frying in the frying pan will be “Fugassin,” a savory dough made of flour, water, yeast, olive oil and flavorings. Served hot they may be accompanied by bacon. For the sweet tooth there will also be “Crostoli”.
Mixing the ingredients, according to traditional recipes handed down from generation to generation, will be the expert cooks of the’Crostolo Festival Association. {:}
