Liscaro has more aliases than an escaped convict - in our neck of the woods it is called liscaro, but travel outside our valley and it goes by agretto, lischi, roscano, baciccio, barba del negus.

Even though it looks like blades of grass, I assure it tastes nothing like it (and yes, I've eaten grass!)
