Farci
/ˈfɑːr.si/noun
A French culinary term meaning stuffed or filled, especially for vegetables, poultry, or minced preparations.
Did you know?Farci comes from the same Latin root as English words like “farce” and “farceur,” because the idea of “stuffing” a dish and “stuffing” a text with comic filler share the same old sense of packing something full.
