Comment on Cannoli – Sweet Lord, Palermo, Just Stop It by Rich

First of all, I don’t know how I found myself reading your question regarding cannoli quality, but… As for cannoli in the United States, Mike’s and Modern are both very good but they do not compare to those in Sicily for a variety of reasons: The ricotta in Sicily is made from sheep’s milk, not cows milk. Sheep’s milk ricotta has a much lighter and creamier consistency than cow’s milk. Also, unlike cow’s milk ricotta, sheep’s milk ricotta doesn’t seem to get pasty with age. The shells of Sicilian cannoli are deep fried in lard. Although not good for your arteries, lard gives the shells an amazing taste and makes then both crispy and flaky at the same time. And last but not least, practically all of the good pastry shops in Sicily fill their cannoli on-the-spot. Still, if you are dying to tast an authentic Sicilian cannolo in the United States, go to Villabate Alba in Brooklyn. These guys are off-the-boat and import their ricotta or milk (sheep’s milk) from Sicily

I’m going to Sicily next month for three months. I’m probably going to need a wider wardrobe when I come back. The pics are mouth watering.

Comment on Fill ‘Er Up at the Wine Station by The Monstrous Wine Bottle Opener

The Monstrous Wine Bottle Opener — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 06:59:33 +0000

[...] Now seeing this machinery and that guy working it I wish they would use some extra steam. After a wine of plenty of red wine consumption that guy working the machine will increase his left arm muscles to a state it will raise some eye brows here and there. Might think he has too many urges to satisfy. Also just using man power takes about 1 minute to open a wine bottle. Currently here in Sri Lanka wine is very expensive. Missing the wine filling station in Sicily. [...]
