Ok Iam from the mid west. What is that stuff?

Looks like cellulite pressed into a slice of lunch meat.  

Top Is MORTADELLA: From Bologna in Italy, its what Americans watered down and called Baloney.

Bottom: One of the finest Treats: Best From DePalma In Italy

Its a salted,cured ham known as Procuitto, 24 bucks a lb.

Where in NY is she?

mmm mmm mmmm...mortadella and prosciutto.  Give me a loaf of french bread and crumbly bleu cheese with a bottle of Silver Oak Cab or a nice Chianti and I am a happy dude.

BLUE CHEESE>>>>THATS WAY TOO CALI FOR ME! ;D ;D

What you need is a hunk of aged PROVOLONE, the one that smells like feet. Or some mozzerealla balls, in virgin olive oil with crushed red pepper and fresh rosemary and basil on em,

BLUE CHEESE   GEEZZZ!!!!!!!

I couldnt imagine living in a part of the country and not having those types of specialty items around. I mean I cooked up some double thick pork chops stuffed them with prosciutto and mozzarella, oh yum yum. I love the stuff and Im not even Italian Im Irish, go figure...

I lived on Federal Hill in Providence for 9 years...ever hear of it?

My sister and her mother-in-law keep a steady stream of Italian meats and cheeses flowing south.
