This is an extremely sunny woman from California who is filling cannolis for the first time. She also decided that she will instruct the viewer(s) on how to make them. She thinks that the filling—which is always made with ricotta cheese, confectioners sugar, and sometimes marscapone cheese—is like marzipan. To be clear, it is not, whatsoever. "Squeeze it down into the tip," is a spooky moment, but I'm mostly excited about how excited she is to be sharing her new skill with her mysterious audience. The whispering that takes place at the very end of the video makes me feel both perverted and hungry at the same time.1st CannoliThe perfect cannoli is a cold filling of sweetened ricotta cheese in a fresh, crispy shell. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I decided to look for someone who was having a great “first cannoli experience.” After deliberating for a long time about the right one to include, I chose this one that is as short and sweet as a cannoli itself. She speaks intimately to her viewers, and feels that the crust is more delicious than the filling. Her final review is concise, when she explains that, “They’re kinda good, they’re kinda cheesy, but I don’t know if that’s normal.”Owner of Oley's Pepperoni Cannoli Explains Restaurant NameWhat I’ve learned about the Eastern side of Milwaukee—a place I have never been before— is that there are old people who have to hustle all sorts of jobs, which includes sticking entire pepperoni links inside of cannoli shells in the hope that college drunks will buy them on their way out of nearby bars, where they are trying to take home some sort of available bed partner for the evening. Who knew that this simple act of financial need could inspire restaurant names?
