Re: [FSHS] 500,000 rounds of Parmigiano-Reggiano damaged in...

Dan Defebbo commented on Chantelle Kiphuth's post in FSHS. Dan Defebbo 12:35pm Jun 1 Actually, Kevin even at $18.99/lb (which only Weis Market customers pay), it comes to less than $800,000,000. Considering that the regional GDP of Emilia-Romagna is about 139 billion Euros per year this loss only represents less than 0.442%. Don't forget, that's just the cheese that was damaged, it should be assumed that some of it can still be sold. That's the thing about Parmigano, it still tastes great when you break it up into little pieces. Can anyone tell, I'm procrastinating from doing something productive? Comment History Dan Defebbo 8:24pm May 31 When I lived near Venice, we ate Grana Padano because it cost half what Parmigiano did. I just looked the other day at my grocery store and they're both the same price ($18.99/lb). Serves me right for living in central Pennsylvania. I gotta find me a Trader Joe's. Kevin Fetzer 2:05pm May 31 38kg (84lbs) X 500,000 = 19mil kg or 42mil lbs. That going to be a huge hit to the local economy. David Beresford 1:04pm May 31 Oh shit! I just read that headline with My glasses on ! It's half a million whole rounds , not pounds , this is even worse , the price , and just lack of the stuff will be felt everywhere , porco Dio !!!! Steve Pope 1:04pm May 31 Were it in the U.S. they'd just deliver the damaged cheese to the Federal School Lunch Program David Beresford 12:48pm May 31 That is very noble of you !
