What does FARFEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
Small bits or flakes of pasta or matzo, used in Jewish cooking, especially in soups and side dishes.
Farfel is a food from Ashkenazi Jewish kitchens, made either of tiny grains of egg noodle dough or of crumbled matzo. The noodle kind is often toasted and then boiled, while the matzo kind is popular at Passover when ordinary flour is avoided.
