Fritelli
Fritelli (singular ''Fritellu''), also Fritelle (singular ''Fritella'') are Corsican doughnuts or fritters made from fried wheat Schapira (1994) p. 123 or chestnut flour (Fritelle castagnine).Silvani (1991) p. 113 A preparation of the fritters is referred to as Fritelli di Casgiu Frescu with fresh cheese (or Brocciu)Silvani (1991) p. 161 or Fritelli di Salciccia with sausage. According to an 1880 ''Scribners monthly'' account, the chestnuts were collected from those that had fallen (and beating the trees to knock them down was discouraged). The nuts were then taken to huts and placed six-inches deep in trays where they were slow cooked with green wood fires until hard and dry. In this state they could be kept for years and were milled into flour "like corn or wheat", which was then made into fritelli or other dishes such as "pulenta" (polenta), necci, pattoni, castagnacciu, and cialdi.

Polenta (, ) is a dish of boiled cornmeal that was historically made from other grains. The dish comes from Italy. It may be served as a hot porridge, or it may be allowed to cool and solidify into a loaf that can be baked, fried, or grilled. The variety of cereal used is usually yellow maize, but often buckwheat, white maize, or mixtures thereof may be used. Coarse grinds make a firm, coarse polenta; finer grinds make a soft, creamy polenta. Polenta is a staple of Northern Italian, Swiss and Balkan (where it is called kačamak or žganci) cuisines (and, to a lesser extent, the Central Italian one, e.g. Tuscany) and its consumption was traditionally associated with lower classes, as in times past cornmeal mush was an essential food in their everyday nutrition. Etymology covered any hulled and crushed grain, especially barley-meal, and is derived from the for 'fine flour,' which shares a root with , meaning 'dust.'''Oxford English Dictionary'' 3rd edition, 2006''s.v.''/ref ...
