    Maybe try ONE cannolo, and take your time. especially if it's a big one.
    Not because cannoli are bad - they're awesome - but because all that ricotta isn't always easy to digest. It's not like eating it in a salad.

      In reality, ricotta is one of the most digestible milk products. Like any milk product, the problem starts when different fats are combined, and the cannoli has a fried envelope. But it's a small portion, so cannoli as a pastry isn't that difficult to digest. Except it's so good that you always eat way more of them than you should...

    Hello professor, this is Sergio from Palermo, Sicily. Cannoli aren't named so because they "look" like reeds, but they're named this way because they used to wrap them around reeds before frying them since we didn't had aluminum molds back then.

    Hiya! Unrelated, but given your interest in debating regarding creationism and whatnot, I highly recommend reading the book "The Great Partnership" by Jonathan Sacks. It's written from a very logical, pragmatic perspective from someone who studied moral philosophy at Oxford. He posits that religion and science are both necessary and likens them to the left and right sides of the brain. They serve two separate purposes but work together to form a whole picture. Either way, I recommend it because it's a rational view on religion

      Cannoli reminds me of cannulas which remind me of tubes which reminds me that they're probably from the same root which reminds me of roots which reminds me of the band which reminds me of Jimmy Fallon which reminds me of johnny Carson which reminds me of Jonathan Sacks. Alternatively it's something I wanted to recommend for Dave because it seems like a topic he's interested in and figured comment sections are all the same so why not this one

    Man, this channel has all my interests in 1 spot. I do want to note though that american vegetable oils and lard (a.k.a fried food) is terrible for you in a very unique way, and is advised by doctors that you simply never eat it at all because of the irreversible long term damage it can do. Please do yourself a favor and enjoy your cannoli with some avocado oil or olive oil or coconut oil, or just any non-vegetable oils or non-seed oil when you make these.
    You'd really also do yourself favors if you didn't use enriched flour (which is a carcinogen still used all over the US) for the batter, but that's not as detrimental. Happy cooking!

    Language is plastic, if people not speaking Italian start treating "cannoli" as singular, than in that particular language that will become the correct use. If the baker is Italian it would be culturally sensitive to ask for a cannolo or if the language spoken is Italian it would be correct grammar. Otherwise who cares. Since the number ordered is quantified explicitly, the transaction will happen the way the customer wants, therefore their attempt to express their idea through spoken language is successful.
