the texture and mouth feel of agretti / smile

you know how grass is flat bladed ?

agretti is like grass if it were tubes / teeny tubes / very skinny tubes

and not dry inside

rather like how grass would be if it were a succulent

not too juicy / still needs to be dressed with olive oil and lemon

si vuoi

it comes in the length that if it were your lawn you would think it was close to time to mow

~~~~

agretti is also an important ingredient in sushi

~~~~ piccolo mundo

i discovered a group of ex-pats actually discussing agretti !~ today / this very day

what it is it / someone said It Is Tumbleweed !
