Italiano Dessert


This is a Italian dessert its a favorite of my entire family, and whenever we go out to eat someone will always order it. Now, I don't love it, it is certainly not my favorite, but that does not mean I don't eat it. You can buy it an Italian food store and most all Italian Restaurant's offer it on their menu as a dessert choice.

Si può indovinare che cosa è questo dessert? (This is a question, Its in Italian, google it to see what I am asking).

    Vig way to go! You beat Tina even being on the other side of the world! LOL That should scorch her butt.

    Carol I can't tell what is in that dessert but it looks very rich and delicious. Does not really look like breakfast food tho.

  8. Lynn...

    It is certainly rich, and no surly not a breakfast food, however I am sure one of my nephews at some point chowed down on this for breakfast especially if they pulled a all nighter..

    ReplyDelete
  11. Zona!!!!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  13. Bonacci...

    I do think Tina would like it..

    :O)

  16. Good Morning Ladies....

    Could be gelato in a chocolate shell....Tartufo....that it!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Well, since none of will probably know what it is, seeing as Carol eats weird stuff, we can still guess what's in it, yes?

    Let's see. Chocolate sauce?

    I going to go spy on Vig.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Thanks, DeeDee! I could delete my previous comment, but then Tina wouldn't have anyone to razzle when she comes out of her stupor.

    ReplyDelete
  19. VIG - I open the page and there you are. I can't believe it. And to think you were first too. What time was it there when you posted?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Good Morning - VIG, Lynn, Zona-My-Baby, bonachichi, Carol, Goldie and Dee Dee. Wishing you all a great day. I am out the door for another doctor's appointment. I will try and get back later.

    Carol - That dessert looks wonderful. I will let someone else google the answer.

    Zona - Call me this afternoon if you are available.

    Good Morning to all owls who haven't landed yet.

    ReplyDelete
  21. VIG You came out of the desert like a mirage and claimed first! It's so good to see you here!

    Tinka I'm glad to see your little brown owl today, too. Congrats on 25! I hope your doctor appointment goes well.

    Carol I have no idea what that is but it looks like chocolate sauce on it so I would probably like it.

    Good morning also to LynnD, Bonach, Zona, Goldie and DeeDee.

    ReplyDelete
  22. It's tripe with chocolate sauce and whip cream.

    Ok going to lay down for a bit.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh yummy, Carol~ DeeDee is right....oh how I love gelato...my favorite is Stracciatella....it's like chocolate chip ice cream....but WAY outta this world better~ yummy~

    We are so busy today....the two companies merged Frequent Flyer accounts today and in preparation for all hell breaking loose, we were served lunch......i don't know what is on this salad...but it is so yummy~ bbwl~

    ReplyDelete
  24. In the old West, she used to be known as "Dessert Dee Dee"!

    And the strange thing? Back then she didn't know nothin' 'bout sugar-based foods...

    ReplyDelete
  25. There you are, Tina! You need a sign, "Will work for food". A salad is all you require to run the coming 3-ring circus? CHEAP!

    Bear, did you sleep in?

    Carol's strangely silent about her dessert. Do you think she's having a sugar O.D.?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Whabb, was DeeDee THE desert? :)

    I "googled","Binged"& "wikied". they only slightly translated the sentence. Not much on the desert, so I am guessing my fave. it looks like either a choc. cheesecake with a rich cream topping, or a creme desert with something naughty on it ;-)

    VIG,VIG,VIG!! So happy to see you here!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Tina.. Yes, Dee is right, its
    Tartufo, Kudos to Dee for knowing the dessert!

    "Tartufo (tahr-too-foh) is an Italian ice-cream dessert. It is usually composed of two or more flavors of ice cream with either fruit syrup or frozen fruit - typically raspberry, strawberry or cherry - in the center. It is typically covered in a shell made of chocolate."

    Restaurants usually cut it in fours and serve it with whip cream, just as the picture shows..

    Thanks to everyone for playing along..

    :O)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Mary..

    The sentence translated in English..

    "Can you guess what this dessert is"

    Or something close to that, I can't remember exactly..

    ReplyDelete
  29. Tina...

    Glad your busy, but more glad you are getting free lunch.. love free lunch..

    :O)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Bonacci..

    No, no sugar oding for me.. just working..

    ReplyDelete
  31. Tina..

    My mother makes Stracciatella all the time, but I know it as a Italian Egg Drop Soup. I did not know there was a gelato with the same name.. sounds yummy tho..

    ReplyDelete
  32. Waving @ all above me.. and anyone below me..

    :O)

    back to work..

  33. Whabbear....lol

  34. So does DeeDee get a prize for being right?

    DeeDee, you are a first-class world traveler... What's the strangest thing you've ever eaten?

    ALL STATS ARE FINAL

  36. Shirley, are those the final stats?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Happy Thursday Owls.

    Carol, I have never had tartufo but it looks good. I also have never seen it in Italian restaurants here. Is it an East Coast thing?

    I am taking my computer in to be fixed tomorrow, so I may be MIA for a while. I don't know how long it will take.

    Waving to all the Owls. I hope you all had a good day.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Shirley Wow! Amazing how you're the leader in every single category!

    SacBarb Does this mean you'll have sound on your computer when you get it back?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Shirley, Sweetie, Honey Pie....one of us just got 50 and I don't think it was you. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  40. Bonachichi.....

    I am always willing to try a regions delicacies....especially after half a bottle of wine....or during cocktails....and there are sooo many things I have seen prepared and have eaten....but the strangest thing I would have to say....was in Phnom Penh.....the people there seemed to prefer the legs crunchy and the bodies juicey......and they de-fanged all the tarantulas that would be sold for ten cents each....I had two...

    ReplyDelete
  41. DeeDee~ would you like me to make you some crab legs? Or some sushi? I know how much you love ur seafood~ :D p.s.~ I'm STILL at work!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Shirley~ when I get home, I'll check to see if your numbers for me are accurate~ Mkay? I'm not worried about your numbers....i know you'd NEVER fudge those~

    ReplyDelete
  43. VIG! VIG! VIG! So awesome to see your post! Hope you are enjoying your adventure.

    CAROL...my mouth is watering! I have never had this, but I am willing to try it! Tiramisu is my favorite dessert, but this could work, too!

    I have been working late everyday and I am exhausted. Maybe I will stop in later.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Hi hooters!

    A quick shout out, had a very long and exhausting day at work!

    VIG soooo good to see you! Love all your Face Book updates.

    Shirley I can't imagine that you would cheaqt...

    ReplyDelete
  45. VIG, what type of dessert do you eat in the desert???

    ReplyDelete
  46. Sorry Tina....nothing out of oceans ...rivers....or lakes......I will eat a baby bird before I would put fish or a crab in my mouth....omg....SH*T thats nasty.....bleech!!

    But thank you for offering up your culinary expertise....

    If God had meant for me to eat fish there would be an Hermes bag and shoes for it.....and there is not.....

    ReplyDelete
  47. Bon: Actually, we were up at 4 AM this morning to drive down to Palm Springs and beat the traffic.

    The plan worked perfectly, and Palm Springs is its usual fabulous self!

    ReplyDelete
  48. DeeDee It's hard to fathom that you prefer spiders over fish!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Now I want dessert. I'll have to be happy with a small banana split.

    ReplyDelete
  50. J/L.....hi....

    I would gladly eat a spider instead of a stinking fish with mercury poisoning......and their slimy scales and fish eyes.....

    I know fish is very popular....but it has always made me wretch.....

    ReplyDelete
  51. omg....there is nothing better than grabbing a king crab leg in one hand and my little fork in the other and pulling out a big, juicy piece of crab meat and drenching it in butter...O..M..G!!!!!! Scrumptious~

    ReplyDelete
  52. Not that fond of crab, myself. I love lobster tail drenched in butter, though, and I love shrimp and prawns. I don't want fish scales and eyes on my plate, either, but I really enjoy filet of sole.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Dee Dee: That's why you're not a lesbian.

    J/L: How can you like lobster and not king crab? OMG!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Bear I don't like the texture of crab. I think it's kind of slick or something.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Also crab is a little bit on the sweet side and I don't care for that too much, either. It just isn't my favorite thing. I would never order it at restaurant.
