I think my problem is mostly that I've had one or two really great cannolis, and I buy from local (far from Italian) pastry shops who have no freaking clue what they're doing and end up with ricotta and soggy shell. They can be good! It's true!<br /><br />And the ice cream was pretty good! Definitely not my favorite B&Js, but solid. I really want some Willie Nelson's Peach Cobbler now...

You guys do realize there are other cultures out there that may have different tastes in food right? Using ricotta for something other that lasagna is not for "fancy people who don't know what good food tastes like." <br /><br />I'm from a blue-collar Italian neighborhood in Philly. Everyone used to buy cannoli at the local bakery after Sunday mass. We also do a ricotta cookie at Christmas and a ricotta pie for Easter, sometimes with ham in it. Because ricotta itself is fairly bland, it lends itself to many types of recipes. It's cool if you don't like cannoli but it's kind of douchey to make everyone that does sound like a snotty asshat.

I was half-expecting it to be called "Holy Cannoli," but that might tick some bishop off.

The last time I was in NYC, I even had my foodie-snob friend take me to some great bakery to "teach" me about good cannoli's. <br /><br />It's still just ricotta in a shell. And it's messy. Ricotta belongs in lasagna, not dipped in chocolate. Bekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585186711580905384noreply@blogger.com
