I miss zeppoli. You make them differently in Jersey. Here they are a hallow pastry shell (fried or baked) filled with rum flavored yellow cream, topped with powdered sugar and a cherry.
Of course I say here meaning Rhode Island where I was born and raised. Here on Cape Cod, where I have lived for 30 plus years, there are no Italian bakeries. As a matter of fact, I think I might be the only Italian in a 50 mile radius. .gif "Say What?") And here, they think zeppoli(e) is fried bread dough - back home we call those doughboys.
I miss my people and their traditions.
