Today I went into the Albertson’s Deli and asked the woman behind the counter if she had any prosciutto I could buy.  Prosciutto might be described as Italian Bacon.  It isn’t something that is at every store, but I would personally consider it common to most super-markets.  The gal behind the counter told me bluntly that she didn’t know what it was.  I scanned the deli fridge to see if maybe I could spy any, I had already evaluated the selection in the pre-sliced section before coming to the counter.

The lady kindly asked her co-worker, “Do you know what prosciutto is, and if so do we have any?”

“Prosciutto, is that a kind of cheese?”

Apparently I’m a food snob in yet another area.
