Pitigliano: The Italian Town Known as “Little Jerusalem
(Sfratti keep with the Jewish culinary tradition of imbuing food with symbolism of hardship; other examples include hamantaschen, cookies named for the Purim villain, and the searing horseradish eaten on Passover to recall the bitterness of enslavement.) The version at Il Forno has a doughy crust and a bright orange taste that reminds me of the hamantaschen I ate as a child; although these were my favorite, you can find sfratti in virtually any bakery or specialty shop in the town’s small historic center, with a crisper and sweeter version available at Delizie di Ale & Helga.
