Zepoli's, now you're talkin...:thumbup:

There was a Salmonella problem with Zepolis from a popular bakery in RI a few St. Joseph's days ago. A lot of people got sick and a few died. I don't think they've really been as popular here since.

Give me waffles and fried chicken any day.

Love me some Zepolis

Really surprised to hear about people getting salmonella poisoning from them. For all intents and purposes, Zepolis are just beignets with a slightly different dough recipe.

Don't forget the white powdered sugar.

Think it was $5 for a 1/2 doz. at the feast last week.

We had them on the dessert menu at the restaurant this winter. After they were taken out of the fryer they were tossed in a cinnamon and sugar in the raw mixture, then topped with powdered sugar and served with dark chocolate and salted caramel dipping sauces.

That's not an Italian Zepoli. See the girl above, she'll throw a 1/2 doz. in the white bag in her hand. See those stainless shakers to her right? That's the white powdered sugar. After putting the zepoli's in the bag she'll shake the sugar in, you can tell her how much according to taste. That's it, that's an Italian zepoli. None of this cinnamon, chocolate & carmel BS.

You live in Brooklyn, not Italy

Zeppoles are served many ways in Italy. Sometimes, they're topped with chocolate, sometimes filled with candied fruit, jelly or custard. Hell sometimes they're even filled with Anchovy.

I'm sure the ones you ate the other day were great. The ones we served were a huge hit. I served hundreds of orders of them and many of those orders were to people from your neck of the woods on vacation up here. Never once did I have someone bitch that they weren't true "Italian" Zepolis.

So, I'll just chalk this up to another one of your episodes of grumpy old man, on the bottle looking to argue.

Silly me for trying to kindly participate in a conversation with you on something as simple as a version of fried dough that we enjoy in common.

In RI the bakery was storing the pastry shells in containers that were previously storing raw eggs, and their coolers ranged from 115-120*. Not exactly a cooler at that point. It killed two elderly men sadly. Around here they are dusted with sugar and have a cream top.
