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.

You may have a shot at finding good stuff some of the more ethnic places in
the Worcester area, but most any other area is bland. Supermarkets are
bland.

In Worcester there are a few places like Golemos that make their own hams
and some other meats. Good stuff.

<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.

A longer slice. Instead of a round slice, you get an elongated eliptical
slice. Nicer on a sandwich.

Uh, okay. Doesn't seem like much of a deal breaker to me.

Why don't they make a square salami? I see round, oblong, and even
asterisk-shaped, but never square.

Coming to a Walmart near you shortly!

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......
