Parrozzo

The “parrozzo», specialty of Pescara, has a “promotion” created and signed by none other than poet D’Annunzio. It is a cake made of flour, butter, eggs, sugar, almonds and coated with chocolate. D’Annunzio was delicious and, being a friend of the pastry chef who invented it, got it’s name [which is derived from “ pan rozzo” (crude pan), because it simulates the bread of the peasants in the round shape and color] holding it in baptism.
