During the second world war, I was very small about four or five but remember that cheese and meat and eggs were rationed. We had friends on a farm who would gift us these precious commodities sometimes and I remember seeing grown ups making butter with a churn in our kitchen and they would make cottage cheese. I remember it hanging, dripping, from the clothes line in back.

Sur La Table has great cheese making classes, done pretty much the same as we did in the 60s.

When someone from somewhere other than the east coast claims that "East coast people" are somehow lacking because we don't have the benefit of fresh milk and eggs, I don't know whether to roll my eyes or go all Jersey Girl on them. |

I do know this;.....I have heard with my own ears, from my very own friends that some people from New Jersey claim to have eaten New Jersey corn and tomatoes that were superior to Ohio corn and tomatoes. Any living breathing American, knows that isn't possible!!! reynoldsburg, ohio tomato festival - Bing images Ohio sweet corn - Bing images

We’ve been curious about the Little Italy Deli in Inverness, particularly their 5 course dinners on the weekend. Well today we decided to check out the deli. It’s closed till January. The deli is a literal hole-in-the-wall. We assume the restaurant is located behind the deli. Don’t want to prejudge this place based on appearances but having seen it, we’d be hard pressed to return. BTW, we met a local from Inverness earlier this month in TV. He described the Little Italy Deli in Inverness as “OK, but not worth the drive from TV.” We should have listened to him.

I went there for the first time on Dec.24th. bought Sausage and Peppers, Provolone. Honestly, it was terrible the worst that we have ever had. First time and the very last time that I will go. Italian Deli? It is Lousy. Especially compared to Mazzaros. |

Are you serious? Gio's is a fake Italian Deli way overrated.
Better off going with Boars Head products. |

I really wish Sclafani or Cento would market their products down here in Florida. I haven't seen a single jar of marinated eggplant on a shelf in any supermarket or Target/Walmart I've been to. Not even Fresh Market.

Oh no GG, Ricotta pie or a cannoli even a lasagna must have ricotta cheese. Both my parents would roll over in their graves and reach out and slap me with the proverbial wooden spoon.

You can get Cento San Marzano Organic canned tomatoes in WalMart and also online from Amazon. You can also get marinated egplant online. The earth is flat now and everything is available somewhere!

From living in TV I have learned one real lesson - most of us are ignorant of how people from different areas have been raised. To me, this country is more like a group of different countries than States.

As has been stated earlier by others, cottage cheese is a very poor substitute for ricotta in Italian cooking, unless of course you grew up with the substitution. I tried lasagna once with cottage cheese and couldn’t eat it. It tasted sour. Everyone else at the table who were not Italian, loved it.
