All one needs is to find a deli that sells Boar's Head.

Boar's Head is strictly East Coast.

The three Left Coast grocers I visit regularly selling it out
of their deli counters might disagree with you.

Really!?!!? I couldn't find it in California at all or in Hawaii! I was so
happy to see it when I moved to Florida. Maybe they just recently started
shipping it to the left (which is the *right* coast, IMO) coast?

Boar's Head has been widely available throughout the US for many years
now. Isn't Hawaii ALL coast? Anyways, the only cold cut sold at
Hawaiian delis is Spam. hehe

I can believe it didn't make it to Hawaii... But every (I've
been) deli that sells Saag's also sells Boar's Head. The three
I shop also sell non-Columbus sausage varieties.

I don't *think* so but their website isn't so helpful, either.

It's web site (two words) and there's no comma after helpful. What in
particular isn't helpful about the Boar's Head web site, it is very
easy to navigate and contains useful information. They have a faq,
you can sign up for their newsletter, and they give a toll free phone
number for asking questions, what more do you need?

Los Angeles checking in: It's all over the place in Ralph's and How's,
the two Totally Mainstream supermarkets I frequent. And it's not new
there.

Boar's Head has been around my area (near Sacramento) for over 5 years.
The quality tends to be average, the prices are high-end. Their sausages
are at about the same quality level as Johnsonville except for the
old-fashioned franks where J'ville has them soundly beat. Saag's, a Bay
Area Central European style processor has the edge on that market if you
stick to their deli packaging rather than the cryovaced crap.

For Italian style meats (or 'salume'), both Molinari (SF) and Colombus
(San Leandro) still make excellent products. Colombus has recently
gotten involved in very agressive marketing and has cut into Molinari's
share of the market which is unfortunate. They still make some fine
products but are coming out with what they call artis-anal (my spelling)
items but are packaged in cryovac for chrissakes! Please folks, buy some
Molinari Toscano Salame and help save civilization!

Imported prosciutto is available around here at a few places, both from
Parma and San Daniele, (as well as jamon serrano.)

The bread situation around here is better than it was but not up to San
Francisco standards in the 1950's. Not just for sourdough, but for
Italian sandwich rolls. They are just not in the new trendoid bakeries'
repertoire.

I've never bought any Boar's Head meat. I've used their condiments,
though.

Real Serrano ham (and Yunan ham) is against the law here in the US
due to the temperatures at which it's cured.

You can find some imported and domestic stuff, but it's not the real
deal. Most of us wouldn't really know the difference anyway.

And the South Central states ... I could find it quite easily when I

I can get Boar's Head deli meats at Fry's in Phoenix. However, I don't
think of that as thetype of serious deli meat I'd expect from an Italian
deli.

When I go to Providence, RI you can get the real deal. Good imported
prosciutto, (either coto or crudo), salami from a half dozen different
regions, mortadella with pistachios, etc. By comparison, Boar's Head is
third rate. Oh, did I mention they also cut it properly? Salami is cut on
the bias giving a nice sized slice, very thin.

Where are you buying your regular deli meats that they don't
have imported proscuitto, mortadella with pistachios or cut the
salami on the bias?

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."

Really! Well, since you speak of Central Massachusetts, I'll have to
check that out the next time I drive out west of here. What specific
areas are you speaking of? I would have thought that such cold cuts
would be available there.

<sigh> We suffer from the same malady on the Left Coast. It
seems the more "civilized" we grow our rural [and urban] areas
(into suburbs), the more the malady spreads.

I'm will consider myself very lucky that there are multiple
high-end grocers within easy drive of me.

What are the benefits of cutting salami on the bias? Does salami *have*
a bias? Cloth does.

i would have to disagree with the availability of fresh breads and fresh
meats here in mass we have alot of greek food places that specifically
have good deli meats alot of italian delis the best i have had anywhere
i have had here in massachusetts.......

we have fanuel hall the north end not to mention all the sub shops that
are in the suburbs and privately owned and they take pride in their
ingredients......

here in massachusetts we refer to a submarine sandwich as a sub hot and
cold
we do not say lets go down and get a hoagie we say lets go get a sub
........
our breads are fresh fantini bread makes

alot of our fresh italian breads mostly here we have italian breads for
our subs .....

here you can get cheeses and imported meats from italy ......and also
made here in us......

i have never had a problem finding a variety until i travled out of this
state.....

if you find out the names of the kinds of meats you like and your out of
state alot of good deli people will try to get those products in for
you..........

i agree you have to experiment and try new places ......

goodluck......

Boars Head is sold all over the south. Publix in fact carries it, I believe?

It's in Chicago too, but there's so many others. A new one I've seen
a lot is Dietz & Watson. I've seen their trucks at several
restaurants. They must have aggressive salespeople. I've tried a few
of their things and I'd say they were un-remarkable.

http://www.dietzandwatson.com/mainHome.asp

I'd say the best in Chicago is the Crawford Sausage Co. Big money and
worth every penny. Even the $7 a pound hot dogs are worth it.

One market near me sells it at BH's private center aisle stand near the
butcher but they don't sell the entire product line.

Last time I visited Houston I saw BH all over too. But it was 3 times
the price of what we get here in Chicago. Their pepperoni is superb.
But everything else is not worth the extra money. Surprising the BH
pepperoni at the butcher isn't that much more money than the crappy
Hormel junk at the stupidmarket.

BH is way over-rated and with a price tag to match. They do have
some unique, worthwhile stuff - like their rosemary ham and natural
casing hot dogs (one of the only brands you can get here in TX).

Another conglomerate scam. Same with Johnsonville, Aidells, etc. Big name,
big adverts, crap food. Mad Ave rules.
