Tigelle are the quintessential local food: they are a disc-shaped bread, about the size and shape of an English muffin. Once baked on their griddle, tigelle have a soft center, and a crisp crust. To be eaten, they are split open with a knife, then filled in a variety of ways (cold cuts, cheese, jams, and the traditional rosemary-and-garlic-flavored lard).
