Comment History  | ah, yes, Federal Hill, one of my favorites! |
 | Yes Dan, things in Italy and things in RI :-) |

| 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? |
| 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? |
