Zizzoli

---

Does anyone know what Zizzoli are? My friend bought them in Lucca market. They look like little brown nuts, but in fact have a small nut inside a fleshy edible outer. We can’t make up our minds whether they are disgusting or rather nice. Peronally I think they taste vaguely like water chestnuts but she suggested a date so the flavour is very subjective. They have certainly gone a lot less quickly than the biscuits she bought in the same market.
