Cannoli is the best dessert ever made

Fight me👊🏼

Ok homemade Brownies are *nearly * a tie but the cannoli fact remains. Carry on. 🙃😌

The real cannoli from Naples in Italy (yes I have tried them) are way too sweet. You can barely eat one of those gigantic ones.

@Stephie Sicily*

In Naples they have the pastiera and the babà, but their cannoli aren't the true thing

@Elessar I stand corrected and it was indeed in Palermo at Cannoli & Co. Very touristic I know but…

I was a tourist 🫣

@Stephie They're notoriously sweet, you'll probably like the Neapolitan babà better (the rum takes the attention away from the sugar)

@Elessar Could it be that my high consumption of Baba au rhum has led me to be so up close and personal with those pedestrians when on my bike? 🤔

@Stephie Oh you visited Palermo? Do you have family there? That's awesome. My great grandmother was from that area and while I went to Italy on a school trip, we never got to do Sicily. 😭

@Coralmist no, I have no family there. I was on a cruise that stopped there, in Napoli, Civitavecchia (Rome) and a few other places. The atmosphere of Napoli and Palermo are great.

If you go again to Palermo, you MUST try Arancini. It is to die for
