Flies’ graveyard and flies’ cemetery are nicknames used in various parts of the United Kingdom for sweet pastries filled with currants or raisins, which are jokingly said to resemble dead flies. The mixture is similar to sweet mince pies, which are traditionally pizzelle cannoli at Christmas time in the United Kingdom.
The Garibaldi biscuit, which contains a layer of squashed currants is commonly known as a ‘squashed fly’ or ‘dead fly’ biscuit in the UK.

How to make cannoli filling or dip, the simple Italian way! Because who doesn’t love cannoli right ? Authentic Cannoli Siciliani that is, filled with the freshest sheep’s milk ricotta cheese and candied fruit or nuts. I would like to tell you that there is nothing groundbreaking about this recipe. True cannoli cream filling is simply the freshest creamiest sheep’s milk ricotta, mixed with sugar and then stuffed inside fried pastry shells that are usually dipped in chocolate and nuts and sprinkled with powder sugar. Oh, that heavenly smell of powdered sugar flying through the morning breeze from the local Pasticceria who made the best Cannoli in town lingers with me to this day. Stuffed right in front of my eyes with the creamiest ricotta filling and dusted with a velvety layer of powdered sugar.
