Krumiri
Template:Short description Template:Infobox prepared food Krumiri are a kind of biscuit which is regarded as the particular delicacy of Casale Monferrato, the city in north-west Italy where they were invented in 1878 by the confectioner Domenico Rossi. They are made without water from wheat flour, sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla, in the form of a slightly bent, rough-surfaced cylinder. This handlebar shape is said to have been chosen in honour of the extravagantly moustachioed Victor Emanuel II, the first king of united Italy.[1][2]
They may be eaten with—or dunked in—tea, liqueurs, wine, zabaione, etc.[3]

Warrants from the Duke of Genoa and from King Umberto I followed in 1886 and 1891.[4] Today krumiri are among the Piedmontese specialities included in the Region’s official list of Script error: No such module "Lang"..[1]
