Krumiri

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]

Recognition

Krumiri were awarded a bronze medal at the 1884 Universal Exhibition held in Turin and the following year the manufacturers received a Royal Warrant to supply the Duke of Aosta. 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 Prodotto agroalimentare tradizionale.[1]

gollark: I am not sure if this pack has automateable ender chest equivalents.
gollark: Regarding the spatial IO thing: I think I have code for using it as a somewhat expensive teleporter somewhere, it isn't hard iff you have a way to transport the items.
gollark: I'm saying that it isn't actually useful because you can just... not tap on/off and it works fine.
gollark: Or possibly space elevators.
gollark: Automatic routing might be nice, but the fastest thing we have is either viaducts which have it built in anyway, or ICBM, which is not very automateable.
