mantis prawn
Known in the Venetian dialect as "canòce" and in English as "mantis prawn" (Squilla mantis).
Try them with a glass of cooled Friulian Ribolla Gialla, or perhaps a nice Pinot Bianco (sorry, it's getting near dinner time).
Buon appetito,
Giles

Comment: "Thanks. In fact, it's a list of wine-food pairings. Their suggestion is Tocai Breganze (alternatives: Pinot di Franciacorta or Verdicchio di Matelica). Do you agree? :)
Sigh, in the landlocked region of Umbria I don't see many of "them thar thangs".
Thanks to all."
