Yes, it rolls around my tongue and sings! "Mangiatutto!!" I even have to wave my hands as I say it.
I'm guessing at some of this:
Pisello - - - pea
Rampicante - "rampant" - climbing
Gigante - - - gigantic
Svizzero - - - Swiss, not French!
That's funny, because everyone agrees this was developed in Maussane, near Avignon
in southern France. Maybe when Italians think of snow (snow peas), they think of Switzerland?
I still have no idea who or what "Carouby" is.
