You know when you go to your Italian grocery, or salumeria, and ask for sliced prosciutto…and how, when you get it home and finally unwrap it, the thin slices are drying out, sticking together, shredding as you try to make presentational sense of it all? Well, let me make the plea for an indispensable kitchen acquisition that will treat your salumi right–the home meat slicer! Believe me, this is the right way to get a dinner party started–with prosciutto, and all kinds of salumi! Also great for assembling stupendous sandwiches. I’ve converted many a disbeliever.

Here’s my take, just like mommy used to make. I bet it’ll satisfy you too!
New Video:The Wine Tasting Waltz
If I were a comic book superhero, I might be called “The Decanter”…or “The Corkscrew”… or perhaps “The Human Riedel”…..you pour it, I can take it!
