Socca
Dating back to the 19th Centry, socca, or Socca de Nice, is a large French pancake that is cut into squares and eaten with salt and pepper.
Socca is made from chick-pea flour, water, olive oil, salt, and pepper. It is cooked on a copper plaque in a wood-fired oven. Socca has a savory flavor, and is a popular snack food.
Long a Provencal specialty, Socca de Nice was originally associated with the working classes. Today socca is sold by restaurants and street vendors and enjoyed by people from all socioeconomic strata.
In Nice, you can find socca in many establishments in the old town.
