Try jamon iberico, if you dare.

I'm dying to put I don't know anywhere that sells it at 1000+ for a 9 lb. leg! !!!!

Where do you live? You can get 1/4lb for $23 or less.

That had better be some damn tasty sandwich meat.

jersey/NE bastardized italian is lame

Thats the best you could do?

Your whole existence is lame.

oh, zinged me good there...

it just cracks me up when Jersey-ites drop vowels from Italian words, drench their food in "red sauce", etc and then talk about how Italian they are. they have no idea what Italy is like, or even what Italian food is like.

I dont drop vowels??? I am not from jersey and I lived in Italy for 6 months. I am pretty qualified to speak on what it is like.

it was really a weak rant on Jersey, not on you. i was going to :beer: ya for mentioning proscuitto di parma and this classic sandwich, but the Jersy-esque "mozz" bugged me

I'm not even italian so you can rant on jersey all you want. But even on printed menus for italian places you will see Mozz as an abbreviate.

Prosciutto di parma the king of all deli meats?

I don't think so.

Behold the real king of deli meats - Montreal Smoked Meat

Sorry but what is Prosciutto di parma? I'm italian and have never heard of it? This may sound stupid.... but does it have Parmesan cheese in it? If so that does sound bomb...

 

[davestar]

it's prosciutto from Parma, Italy

It's just Prosciutto, from a place it often comes from... Parma. Hence... di Parma...
Same city that makes my favorite cheese.

here is my favorite sandwich....

two slices of garlic ciabatta bread. Drizzle small amount of infused oil oover bread.

2 slices of fresh mozz

2 slices of fresh tomato

drizzle a bit of balsamic on top

Finally Add several thin slices of prosciutto di parma


Heavenly.

whats the diff between Prosciutto and ham?

 

[JEDI]

ok. bought Prosciutto @ costco. $8.50/lb. they also had Prosciutto di parma for like $17.50/lb.

whats the diff between Prosciutto and Prosciutto di parma?

 

[JEDI]

my verdict on Prosciutto: Meh

ham tastes better (and less expensive)

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

Prosciutto di parma is prosciutto made in Parma Italy. Regular prosciutto may have been made in a dark warehouse in Bayonne, NJ.

I understand your complaint though. I'm not a big fan of prosciutto either, at least for sandwiches. I'd rather have some Boar's Head tavern ham on a sandwich. Love prosciutto wrapped around an asparagus spear though. Its fattiness and saltiness complement asparagus well.

Just had this tonight! My friends and I are watching both Godfather 1 & 2 tonight, so I suggested an Italian dinner during the break. I prepared a traditional antipasto with capicola, salami, provolone, peppercini's, olives and a vinegrette. Then, the asparagus wrapped in proscuitto, caprese with a spaghetti and meatball entree.

watching Godfather 2 right now...some gelato and ice cream to come.

Great idea for a couple of great movies. Don Corleone would approve.

Gonna have to steal that idea too.

Proscuitto *is* ham

but its salted and cured. not like a salted, cured american ham.... at first glance this is a good read on it

i love proscuitto, though im from the south and have never had anything other than packages stuff :-/

kinda makin me want some chicken cordon bleu, as i use prosciutto when i make it.

my verdict on Prosciutto: Meh

i'm not sure that you can get a real appreciation for how awesome proscuitto di parma is unless you get it sliced paper thin and eat it straight (not on a sandwich, not baked in a chicken, not wrapped around melon).

Not just that but it follows a strict guideline for making it.

prosciutto di parma or bust........accept no imitations.

actually a lot of the american prosciuttos are ok as well as the German speck.

authentic Prosciutto di parma or di San danielle or Spanish serrano will be better but not everyone has access to those/can afford those.

besides, lots of people find the cured flavor too strong and off putting.

I think of it this way. There are those who prefer regular black forest ham or rare roast beef to prosciutto. its kind of like people who prefer a regular steak to a funky 3 week dry aged steak.

italian country food ftw

Would like to try this sometimes. I have heard a lot about it. Its interesting that there is a thriving Jewish food culture in both Montreal and New York. Both places known for their Jewish delis and bagels/beales.

I like Prosciutto but I never realized its not cooked? Its just salted and cured? Still tastes good though. (My fav sandwich from the local deli near work is Prosciutto with grilled chicken, broccolli rabe and mozzorella. So freaking good.
