Waiting for a cook
Madagascar
Caca pigeon (kaka pizon in Malagasy spelling; the name means what it says and nobody minds) is Madagascar's aperitif and tea-time nibble: a stiff dough of flour, water, oil, salt and plenty of black pepper, rolled thin, cut into short ribbons or little squares and deep-fried until crisp and golden. It is sold in paper cones at kiosks and markets, eaten with a cold THB beer or with afternoon tea and coffee, and keeps for weeks in a tin. Réunion has a cousin called chipette.
The draft was written from 3 published sources and holds 7 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
