The government may be in shambles, but the the cheese is great/ (grate?) It reminds me of the scene from The Third Man. (a movie as good as the cheese)

Meanwhile, back in the United Soviet Socialist States of America: Watch the video about halfway down the page if you really want to get mad.

I love it when the local grocer marks down the high dollar Parmesan or Romano,because it is approaching the US expiration date.

LOL the stuff is over 2 years old LOL
being in the deli for a couple of weeks won’t make it go bad! LOL

American-made parmesan cannot hold a candle to a good Parmagiano-Reggiano.

My local fresh dairy,(cow,sheep and goat milk and associated cheeses) was shut down by Obama.

There are some decent American made cheeses.
Now if we could only replicate Prosciutto and Sopressa.

[nickcarraway]

Wait, are you one of the people who hides stuff in the back, so people don’t buy it, then they mark it down.

[Revolting cat!]

Not cheese!

[nickcarraway]

If you hold a candle to it, it might melt.

Damn right! Real cheese comes in a block. Or some other three-dimensional shape.

[mylife]

Even that is beloved.

Behold the power of Cheese.

Now if we could only replicate Prosciutto

I will admit I make the world's best calzoni. Mozerella, Parmesan and goat cheese. And of course, Prosciutto from Italy.

Lisa's Deli in Hoboken (9th and Park street) had everything. They made their own mozerella. You walk into the place and are in food heaven.

When we left Italy in 03 we bought a 38.6 kilo wheel of Parmagiano-Reggiano and put it in our household goods shipment. It lasted until last year, we vacuum packed and froze it, it was fine, the last couple of years it was dry.

[mylife]

Very good!

You can’t find decent Italian goods around here.

[elcid1970]

Pecarino is a good sub for Parmesan.

Wasn’t imported Prosciutto banned a few years back?

You can’t find decent Italian goods around here.

The difference between 'real' Italian food and the stuff passed off in most places is amazing.
