Most anyplace in northeast Connecticut and central MA. You can get imported
prosciutto at some of them, but few know hot to cut it properly. None of
the supermarkets cut salami on the bias and none have the Tuscano salami
that Tony's has. This is a pretty bland area foodwise.

Last time I needed Prosciutto I went to Price Chopper and had to instruct
the deli clerk on first, where it was, then how to cut it, and to put the
paper between layers. She had never even heard of it, let alone slice it.

I can go on forever. I witnessed a return of vanilla ice cream because it
has specks in it. The store manager didn't know what they were either. A
neighbor never heard of peach pie. Brisket? Isn't that something you eat on
St. Patrick's Day? Eeew that roll is hard on the outside, it must be stale
(it came from the oven an hour ago). When I bought a loaf of bread at an
in-store bakery I was asked "are you sure you want it? Its still warm."
