My respect for your grit in the face of accomplishing your necessary field work went up so much as I read your evocative description! Reading about the cannoli (and cannolo) of your acquaintance filled me with happiness, and some confusion—in north Jersey, they were all filled-to-order. I did not know that they even could be (daringly!) sold with “old” filling.
I must confess, they are a bit low on my list—I have a weird personal tendency to often *hate* fried desserts! (I have only liked doughnuts from 2 shops in my life. I do officially hate donuts! 🥹😱) No one can like everything equally! But, I live a walk away from Grimaldi; I’m sensing a cannoli sampling trip in my future!

Mille grazie! Here’s to more cannoli in 2024.
