Nothing unusual about those further North, I think; I have seen them many times in quite ordinary shops in quite ordinary towns.<br /><br />Quince paste, though - now there's a rarity.<br /><br />One thing I miss when not in Italy is the wonderful produce, such displays even in tatty little supermarkets...<br /><br />Enjoy your delicacies!Weekend Yachtsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262853091154005651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-53566322727642943392011-02-24T00:17:16.486+01:002011-02-24T00:17:16.486+01:00Hi,James.

I don't drink hot chocolate but as far as I remember there is no need to thicken Modican chocolate. Hi, Pat. I will! Hi, Carmen. The focaccia sounds delicious. When are you sailing? We had it in December, WW!

I will detour when I am sailing on a cruise out of Port Canaveral, some three hundred miles from Miami because I MUST see Juca and have lunch at Tutto Pasta and dinner at Zucchero. He's become a friend over the years.<br /><br />When you find those special food stuffs, it's hard to do without!RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-35952093409857083472011-02-23T03:55:22.893+01:002011-02-23T03:55:22.893+01:00The round zucchini are so unusual.
