Excuse my ignorance. They sell so many of these at the Italian delis.

What does pannetone taste like? I imagine something like a fruit cake. Or is it more like a raisin bread? Do you eat it as is or with e.g. ice cream or cream?

Why not buy one and try it? :unsure:
 
How it tastes depends on which one you buy. Look at the picture, and the description.

This one tastes fruity:

This one tastes chocolaty:

Buy one and try it. It's actually a bread, not cake, and it has a unique texture.

You got Albany? We only got Star bread or some other type. Used to come in an unmarked thin plastic bag. Nice brown crust. You must be a laarney.

Star Bread? Plastic bag? Pfft. Bourgeoise!
We had to scratch in the dustbin for the old hard dried-up crusts of bread that the rich kids didn't want to eat. The old woman across the street had the biggest crusts, some were almost 1 cm long, and we collected them in a muslin cloth, no larney plastic bags. The plumber's crusts were sometimes stale, and were sometimes ere covered in green and grey furry mould, but our parents made us eat it all up, otherwise we would get a hiding and go to bed without any supper at all. And no butter or margarine, we mostly ate it dry, except when we had a spoonful of sugar to put on, and then we then would wet it under the tap after that.

It's nice. Not nearly as heavy as a fruit cake, well the real Italian ones.

It's like raisin bread, with a hint of fruit.

I prefer a slice with butter and espresso, for breakfast. Mild and sweet, followed by intense, and then off to work.

And slightly warmed in the oven before butter just brings out more flavour.
