I assume adam finds the mail price absurd which is why he asked about local pickup. Fri Dec 12 09:17:01 -0800 2008 4241551 239561 dietndesire 3 4242221 Yeah, I'm trying to avoid (1) the cost of mail-order, and (2) the time and seeming uncertainty, based on what the salumi web site says. I've never had salumi quite like theirs, it's really fantastic I think, and ideally there's somewhere in the NY area I can go to pick some up, although certainly it may not be possible. I'll check D&D, but in the meantime, if anyone has other ideas, I'm all ears. Fri Dec 12 11:59:05 -0800 2008 4241785 12981 adam
