Spilimbergo cafe’s bounteous brioche takes heavyweight title

Le Strane Delizie, a pastry shop in Spilimbergo, Italy, whose name translates to The Strange Delights, serves the mega brioche, a mammoth creation that feels like it weighs about 5 pounds, and sells for 25 euros. It can be paired with the shop’s mega cappuccino, which is made with almost 34 ounces of milk and eight shots of espresso. The drink is too much for one person to consume, so be sure to have a companion or two along to share if you order it.
