What is parmagiana?
It actually has nothing to do with the cheese or the Parma region.  Parmigiana is a southern Italian dish based upon melanzane alla parmigiana, what we call eggplant parmigiana.  Adding veal or chicken in place of eggplant is an invention of the Italian immigrant communitires of Australia and the U.S.  In Brazil they add beef, and, in England, sometimes pork.  The name itself probably comes from a Sicilian word, parmiciana -- for the slats of wood in a shutter, which overlap in the same way as the slices of eggplant in the dish.
What are cannoli?
Cannoli (Sicilian for "little tubes") are unique and delicious Italian pastries believed to have originated in Sicily around the first century A.D. They are tube-like desserts that consist of crispy fried pastry shells filled with cannoli cream (made from sweetened ricotta cheese and secret "family" ingredients -- we could tell you, but then we'd have to kill you). Cannoli is actually the plural. If you want just one, it is a cannolo.
