Cannoli are Italian pastries consisting of tube-shaped shells of fried pastry dough, filled with a sweet, creamy filling containing ricotta, a staple of Sicilian cuisine. Delicious.
Whenever we stopped for morning coffee break it always involved a cannoli.

I will look for some in one of the Italian areas of Melbourne.

Funnily enough, I’ve never seen these. Are they peculiar to Sicily, rather than Italy generally?

Sicily more than Italy. There was a scene in Godfather III where Michael’s sister Connie fills one with poison to kill a rival Mafia boss.
You can get them in UK from specialist suppliers.
