Frittele! You are killing me, I love these... anyone who goes to Venice for Carnevale MUST eat as many as possible, preferably from the kiosk in Piazza San Marco accompanied by vin brule.
A few years ago, we enjoyed a somewhat similar treat at Vini da Gigio, a restaurant we've enjoyed several times. It was Crema Fitta. When I asked what it was, the waiter said it was "fried cream." I had a hard time suppressing my smile and ordered it. It was "fried cream." The cream must have been a firm vanilla pudding, as firmn as cold polenta, cut into a square, deep fried and sprinkled with granulated sugar, served warm. If it is still on their menu and you have room for dessert, I recommend it.
