But cannoli filling is Italian health food the whole cow’s milk ricotta cheese dark milk chocolate chips (and whatever else is in there) the sweet nectar of life. I ate dinner once with an American who thought he’d solve the problem with a knife and a fork attempting to daintily cut through the shell in order to pick up pieces. Cutting through a cannoli shell! “gat outa here”! If they wanted you to break the shells apart they would have crushed them up for you and sprinkled them on top of the filling and served them to you with a plastic spoon in one of those paper cups for pansies. There is only one way to eat cannoli. Bite on one end and as far as the other end goes “Fuhgeddaboudit…”
