It's pasta. The Second Avenue Deli cookbook says this: "Dishes made with egg barley, or farfel, are generally eaten at Rosh Hashanah; the grain-shaped pasta symbolizes the seeds of an abundant harvest in the year ahead." Since it turns out I DIDN'T have egg barley, Ida Know where it's found -- surely a Jewish Deli-Grocer. Looks like it's gonna be lunch at Cecil's again soon. :-)
AWTTW: I used an All-Clad 3-quart sautŽ pan for this project and it took only 10 minutes in the oven to brown the pasta for combining with the other ingredientsÑnot the 30 minutes in the recipe. I'm glad I checked it when I did.
Ping: DAMSELMy recipe actually calls for a lot of carrots. Just toss some in until it looks right. You...

came from my 4th grade teacher's mother, a lovely Armenian woman, nearly 50 years ago! I wouldn't make pilaf any other way....and it always gets raves. Elizabeth Dean Brooks, rec.food.cooking"
I use far more pasta than the 12 pieces of vermicelli -- more like 3-4 cup rice, 1-4 cup pasta. Think Rice-a-Roni without being so salty.
-- Farfel with Mushrooms. Jeez!
