God, I thought those were cigarettes for a split second...

Reminds me of Tom Mullica, he would have loved a cigarette cannoli!

[–] M137@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's the French version of this.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who also thought that.

I'm sure I'm gonna be down voted a lot, but I've gotta say it. Cannolis are just not very good. Like not disgusting but they lack flavor.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I'm always interested in them because it looks like vanilla ice cream in the middle.

It is not.

[–] pwalshj@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I'm with you; they're a bore.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Maybe you just don't like ricotta very much? There's also ricotta pie, which is essentially just a cannoli in a different form (ie a crust filled with ricotta), though the filling is stiffer.

Tradizione? Dio merda, sti Americani sono fuori di testa. I piatti non devono somigliare a Monster Truck.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Triggered an actual Italian! My job here is done.

There's always some room for a little drama, you know? It was my moment to shine. More cats, less food that indirectly insults my grandmother, you silly!

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

And shine you did! I think Italians complaining about Americans bastardizing their food is a classic.

Heard you on more cats though. Can never have enough cats.

Go eat some pasta with olives and get some sleep, it's nearly time for your fifth nap of the day.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do you eat this as is, or remove the canolis and eat them individually?

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I imagine you eat them individually… cause otherwise my mouth is not that big.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago

Cannoliception.

[–] ZeroGravitas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

Cannolis inna cannoli 🤌

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Leave the gun, take the Cannolis in a Cannoli.

Rochester, NY‽ That's where I live! :⁠-⁠O

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I miss Rochester now and then, just not in February.

[–] Balmund@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Currentlyin Rochester. 4⁰F. Can corroborate.

[–] hector@lemmy.today -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

With food like this maybe you should be posting the bmi average.

[–] possumparty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yeah Rochester is actually pretty fit tbh.

[–] hector@lemmy.today -1 points 2 months ago

For america? Somewhat less than 50% overweight. Compare that to the birthplace of these canolis, I bet it's like 15% or less overweight, probably less.

[–] morgenman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Exactly my reaction!

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

The legends are true!

[–] verdi@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 4 points 2 months ago

Typical bastardisation... 

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Blasphemy! Too much crust and not enough ricotta.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Looks like cigarette buds in a roll
