Prosecco

Foodie, as I am sure you must know: When a recipe calls for something exotic that is not available locally, then the only choice is to replace that item with something local.

Good cured ham from Italy is difficult to find around here. Good cured ham from Virginia is a no-brainer.

Don't even mention fresh mozzarella - impossible to find around here. One store said they had it. When I went there to check it out, the stuff was wrapped in plastic. Fresh, come on, get outta here!

I told them no way this is fresh. I said, "where's the water-soaked stuff", they said, "huh". I left without any cheese. Maybe I should have asked for home-made......
