Sorry ~ can't help you there. Pastry and pasta are outside my diet limits. Some of the sausages are too due to the fillers.

On the other hand, the processed meats and the spices are all good.

My youngest figured out that he had a problem with tomatoes ~ so he's been targeting non-tomatoed Italian stuff ~ and it exists. Soups, sauces, ways to prepare meat. We'll see how that turns out.

Northern Italian food uses butter and cream whereas Southern Italian food uses olive oil and tomatoes. There are more Northern dishes than you can try in a lifetime.
