Today I actually googled "how to buy cheese." I know that little about delis, and fresh cheese and meat. I am from Kentucky, land of Kroger's and Ameristops and KFC. Not the farm Kentucky where I make my own cheese and butcher my own meat.
Lucky for me, Fiore (famous for their freshly made Mozarella aka Mutz apparently) employs the loveliest Italian New Jersians alive. I walked out with a half a pound of Mutz that was made fifteen minutes ago, a quarter pound of ham and a quarter of prosciutto (another thing I had never known existed until I moved to New York).
Feeling finely accomplished and friendly towards deli men, I continued on my grocery quest through another three little stores for the rest of the afternoon.
And this event today is what makes me think I will really miss parts of New York.
