We have been given a Panetone once as 'business' gift.
I took it as a Mafioso threat against me and my family.
Ok, 30 the cheaper ones for warmer weather

What has the recent Catalan rage for panettoni with your United Mafias of America wars.
Imagine how could we take that pagan "Xmas tree", or those damn Hallodark Weekdays...
We have had Pannetone stacked up like cordwood for years, because Toronto has a huge Italian population and people just keep giving these dry, listless breads away as tokens of 'appreciation'.
Years ago, we figured a gift of Pannetone was just a warning from Italian business associates that we would find a horse head in our bed one morning.....they are hideous.
I could throw together a yeast loaf made of sawdust and it would be more appealing than Pannetone.
Although...if you brush it with a good brandy or rum, it can make a good base for a dessert.
