Seven Views of Mount Cannoli: Subjective Preferences in Geek Media

[Piperken]

I've heard similar, but with coffee. In their case: likes the smell of roasted coffee beans, thinks coffee as it is brewing is great. Can not stand coffee as a drink. Has sampled hundreds of varieties, in all kinds of quantities in different types of drink. Has been insisted too by many that if they simply try this one variety, brew method, and so on, they'll inevitably be converted.

It has not happened; they just don't like coffee.

It was neat to read about the enthusiasm in the NE US for cannoli. I'm sure folks from Sicily (and Italy, where it later spread) have much to say about US cannoli as well.

I don't know that I've ever had cannoli.

I'll have to try it sometime.

People like what they like. You can’t force someone to like something. You can expose them to a piece of work, but if they don’t like it, that’s the way it is. You can’t talk them out of it.

Cannoli? Is that some sort of weird French food?

Are you a CANnoli or a CAN'Tnoli?

Cannoli is OK. I’d rather have gelato.
