Zeppole might be the most popular St. Joseph’s day treat. Zeppole is an Italian pastry made by taking a fried puff pastry shell and inserting ricotta filling (the type of filling that can be found in a cannoli). Ricotta is the traditional filling but vanilla and chocolate fillings are also common. Zeppole, (also known is Sfinge di San Giuseppe – St. Joseph’s Cream Puffs), can usually be found at any Italian bakery during the month of March.
So a couple days after enjoying the festivities of St. Patrick’s Day, I encourage everyone to enjoy the feast of St. Joseph’s Day. Find a nearby Italian bakery and treat yourself to some Zeppole.
After all, if everyone can be Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, then certainly everyone can be Italian on St. Joseph’s Day. Buon Giorno di San Giuseppe – Happy St. Joseph’s Day.
