Now I like the Italian custom of taking cakes and pastries when visiting family and friends.

Last week at Rosa’s when the family gathered on the Sunday, Johnny brought a tray full of them.

And yesterday, when we decided on breakfast out, we gravitated to Sapori di Sicilia, which is on the Viale Belforte 68, 21100, in Varese.
The area is a mix of residential properties, a range of everyday shop, including a supermarket and some industrial units.
My favourite is always a bombolone which is a doughnut filled usually with custard, jam, or chocolate, and for me it is always custard.
But these you can get almost anywhere, while at the Sapori di Sicilia, they specialize in Sicilian food, and along with a range of wonderful pastries there are piles of savory ones not unlike our own pasties.

And of these the one they make filled with a mix of rice and vegetables, is just perfect.
So that is it, I could say more, but I won’t.
