thin Ligurian crackers so brittle they shatter louder than your willpower at an aperitivo.
means Ciappe are thin, crisp Ligurian flatbread crackers, traditionally flat and shard-like, served with olive oil or alongside drinks.
from From the Ligurian dialect word 'ciappa,' meaning a flat slab or flagstone — the same kind of thin stone used for roofing in the region. The crackers earned the name because they're baked thin and flat, snapped into pieces that resemble little tiles, so you're essentially eating something shaped like a chip of slate.
