  Panettone has no right to be so delicious.

  It’s like fruitcake, but good. I miss it now lol

      It never stops weirding me out how learning Spanish has also made Italian borderline intelligible to me. I get why, it’s just strange to experience accidentally partially learning an extra language.

      This unrelated comment inspired by reading the name and going ‘oh, that means golden bread’

  Here in Canada in Ontario, up until about five years ago, they used to sell panettone everywhere during Christmas … grocers used to stock them everywhere and about four or five different brands. Cheaper ones came in all plastic wrapping and more expensive ones came wrapped in plastic and contained in fancy decorative cardboard boxes. And back then, we had the choice of size and they were usually large sized.

  Now we have limited supplies and the displays for them are even hard to find. We only have one brand now ‘Massimo’ and they are more the smaller size. Every year now, all my Italian Canadian friends go on a frenzy looking for them … as soon as they come out, they disappear.

  Don’t know what happened to the supply but we don’t see much of them any more.

    There’s a local Mercato near me that stocks all the different types. I prefer to get them from there anyway because Galen Weston doesn’t need that money.

  They charge 9 GREAT BRITISH POUNDS at Tesco (with the fucking clubcard) for the most insipid panetonne ever (ik the pic is showing pandoro I just needed to complain). Butter barely saved it… 😭

    I like it a lot more. Especially with that fake marzipan in the middle.

      It’s a nice cake but you’re pretty much guaranteed to get powdered with sugar
