Panettone in D.C.

We are celebrating the season with a tradition we learned in Italy during Year 3:  eating the traditional Italian large bread filled with raisins and candied fruit known as panettone.  In the Italian language, the suffix -one signifies big.  

Recently, at our nearby Trader Joe's (Trader Giotto's), we purchased a panettone (pictured below).   


The irony is that the panettone was miniature, not large.  Check out some random hottie with her baby panettone below.  Perhaps the panettone shrunk during shipment from Italy?  Or perhaps the fine folks at Trader Joe's need some Italian language lessons?

Large or small, it was delicious.
