We live for the Italian butcher shop in Joisey!
I had Prosciutto this am with provolone and fruit, sundried tomato and Proscuitto on a 1/2 bagel..
Proscuitto (pronounced Proshoot) is the first cousin of bacon...you do not cook it.
I know meatballs! (ask Zippy how he makes them)...The first Mr. Fandy's sicilian grandma taught me how to make them and make the best gravy (it is always gravy in Joisey, not "sauce")
