Today, Food Maven Josh B. introduced me to Italian amaretti cookies, which we found at I Preferiti di Boriana (Boriana's favorites) at the Ferry Building in San Francisco. They are mini cookies with a mild taste of marzipan and they are available soft or crispy/crunchy. Josh was also kind enough to show me how to create a nice after-dinner flourish by lighting the wrapper on fire. When lit, the tissue wrapper should shoot up like a rocket, if you follow his instructions.
See how the tissue paper shoots up into the air when it behaves.
it's too bad the demo didn't work! i was at the edge of my seat.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't work any more. I've been doing this for decades but they had to have changed the wrappers so they no longer float. Others have posted about their disappointment as well.
ReplyDeleteI just tried it today and it worked! My daughter had some that did not
