The Sicilians are also known for their desserts, including their gelato Siciliano and cannoli, a fried pastry stuffed with ricotta cheese and candied fruit. |
Patrons eat their cannoli slowly and deliberately, dabbing the powdered sugar on their plates with licked fingers. |
We also loved the house-made cannoli, three miniatures with chocolate, caramel and pistachio ricotta fillings. |
That's only on the saint's day, Sept. 19, but every day of the festival there are carnival rides, arcade games, and, of course, cannoli. |
I particularly relished a curled, yellowish-brown object that looked like a half-eaten cannoli shell. |
One picosecond: The length of time it takes you to regret having three cannoli. |
