 | Thanks Dan, I stand corrected, a small hit to the local economy. And I was assuming that we all know how the entire 'damaged' goods will be 'parted out', if you will, and most likely pull in more than the original value, plus there is the insurance payment for the 'loss'. Any cheese that does not got bought up will be sold at a discount to the pig farmers for the finer and more expensive prosciutto....capito? |
Comment History  | 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? |
| 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. |
| 38kg (84lbs) X 500,000 = 19mil kg or 42mil lbs. That going to be a huge hit to the local economy. |
 | 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 !!!! |
 | Were it in the U.S. they'd just deliver the damaged cheese to the Federal School Lunch Program |
