I think prosciutto is ham
they used to sell it in Italian stores in my old neighborhood
someone told me pizza was invented in Philadelphia (I wonder if that is true?)
I guess it was like he was on a huge long camping trip in mountains
I can understand why all he wanted to do was eat when he got to Sicily
he just didn't have enuf tasty food for long time

Prosciutto is cured ham that has been salted and hung for about a year, then sliced very thinly.The best comes from Parma.

So, you had some drama today, huh? Musy be the durn heat ;-)

You are so right....while my son was trekking he would give in and eat some local foods, and then wind up with what my dad called the 'galloping sh@ts'...so he tried to survive on what he had brought with him....said he thinks he survived on Snickers Bars for weeks...

He loved the Tibetan people, but their bland and monotonous diet of noodle soup and yak butter tea, was just awful

When he offered the Tibetan nomads some of his candy, their eyes lit up, and they sure did grin, when they tasted such a sweet thing as a Snickers bar...
