Armando .. I would like to know more about your zeppole (a simple candy???) ... ours is a pastry puff, baked or fried (fried RULES) filled with various types of cream fillings ... Personally, only a ricotta filling (like in a cannoli) works for me, but here in little Rhody they fill them with a 'custard' type cream also ...

Thanks for sharing that with me Tony.

'Fredo ... C'mon man ... you're in New York where there is enough Italian culture to start a new Italy ... join an Italian club, learn about the traditions and keep them going yourself ... There is a great magazine dedicated to Italian culture called "Primo" ... www.primomagazine.com ..
check it out ... they have many stories about the Italian customs ...
