      Yeah Daniel is right, they are two different things. Both are a reinvention of an Austrian pastry; cornetto was created 100 hundred years before croissant (and croissant was brought in France by Marie Antoinette in 1770), that's why in France croissants and similar are called viennoiserie. Everyone thinks that cornetto is an Italian version of croissant but instead they are two different and separated things. Also the recipe is quite different (for example cornetto has eggs and croissants has not, and has more sugar than croissant as well).

    I’m so glad you finally went to Italy! There’s no comparison to the cured meats there. As an Italian teacher, just one note: cornetti are not the same as croissants! Lighter and less buttery, and generally filled with jam. ❤️

    Hey Mikey, I don't know if it's too late or not, but try to avoid gelato that's stacked really high, as well as gelato with really bright colors. It's not considered real gelato by Italians, and is only eaten by tourists. If you want the real gelato experience, go for more natural looking colors. A great give away is the pistachio flavor. If it's a bright green, it's fake. It should be more of a muddy greenish brown. Cheers

    Hey mikey! I went to Italy a few years back and it was the best place for sandwiches. I had my most memorable in Venice, with about an inch of prosciutto and nearly a whole ball of mozza melted into the best bread ever. I loved this video, it brought back so many memories

  • @Ae6KaRBoN
    @Ae6KaRBoN 6 років тому +31

    Oh im so glad you went to All'Antico.. I was going to suggest it to you as a place you HAD to try before realizing you weren't in Italy anymore. You aren't kidding when you say that it is truly far and away better than any sandwich out there, and it isnt close. It really is unbeatable for taste and the price is ridiculous, my mouth was watering just remembering that sammie. To be honest, that goes for all of Italy, I try and tell everyone to visit.
    There are a lot of good places to eat in the states, but none of it compares to Italy in terms of freshness and quality. On my first bite, It was immediately apparent to me how processed/preserved our food is. Everything in Italy is made in house, or comes from the local market that morning, building dishes around produce that is in season, and you can taste the difference without question.
    Great job with the vids, im loving the Italy series, such a great country.
    p.s. - I hate to be a stickler, but it is a confusing one, it is actually pronounced Por-ket-ta.

    I love watching your videos but mostly all the ones about Japan. Then I noticed you had a few italy videos! I had to check and see if you went to Vinaio. It was the best sandwiches in Florence. Me and my hubby literally ate here everyday. Only thing that beat this sandwich out was my first rare steak ever from il Latini. If you ever go back to Florence check this place out. Get the smallest steak. Not sure if they have smaller ones because they are usually shared between two people but in Italy steak is called bistecca. Get it rare with the fried vegetables. The best meal I had in all of italy

      Well most of us cant bake our own bread and get fresh high quality meats every day. Thats why these places exist and thank goodness they do. :-)

      baking your own bread is easy. Making fresh lunch meat would be hard though.. Unless you know a good butcher near you
