Never in my life have I heard of 'stoopel' and googling reveals it's not really anything but a family name 'Poffer' isn't really used as a word, 'poffertjes' is (to make it 'little', not sure how you do that in Spanish but for example I know in Portuguese one would turn poffer into something like pofferzinho so I hope you get what I mean ). Poffertjes are sort of like little pancakes (like, bite-size, but a bit 'fatter' than a pancake) and are pretty good If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

heywoodu 13,555 Posted August 11, 2019 #219 Share Posted August 11, 2019 +1 for pasta The olives though, yuck. Garbage.

Garbage. there were peppers, too... it was a sausage with small tomatoes ("Pachino" type), yellow peppers and "Taggiasca" olives... the only difference with that photo, it's the type of pasta (it's called "Cavatappi" -literally, "Corkscrew"- but unfortunately I couldn't find a photo of that type of pasta...it's not that widely popular like others, even if you can find it in all Italian supermarkets)...
