What does FARCI mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Stuffed with a seasoned filling, used to describe a dish such as a vegetable, bird, or cut of meat prepared with forcemeat or breadcrumbs inside.
Farci comes directly from the French word for stuffed, and English cookbooks borrow it whole for dishes like chou farci, a cabbage stuffed with meat, or tomates farcies, tomatoes filled with a savory mixture. The term signals a specific preparation method rather than a single dish, so almost any vegetable, bird, or cut of meat can be described as farci once it has been filled and often baked.
