Sure, why not!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Brian, I happen to be one of the weirdos who like Pannetone. It's not too sweet. I love it toasted for breakfast around the holidays. Makes it feel like an Italian holiday season! And it's on sale all over the place. Freezes great so grab a few!!

We absolutely LOVE Panettone!
I wish we could get it all year round!
Not too sweet, light & airy! Great with a good cup of Tim Hortons or DD's...
