Gabagool and gelato

Today, I found a nice new hidden gem near my house–Nundini’s Italian Deli & Food Store. From outside, the place appears like a normal warehouse, but once I stepped inside to Nundini’s it was like another world. I tried the Parma Panini for my lunch–made with a generous serving of prosciuto, fresh mozzarella, nicely salt and peppered and warmly toasted on a muffaletta.

As I waited for lunch to be served, I wandered throughout the store, browsing at the various Italian imports–numerous varieties of olive oils, wines, cheeses, meats, olives, all sorts of pastas, espresso beans, crackers, biscottis, a nice array of gelato and sorbetto, and a huge range (dare I say, a plethora) of sweets (including Lazzaroni chocolate bars with amaretti crumbles), and a whole case full of delightful looking chocolate truffles.

I was so pleased that I decided to buy some gabagool (capicolla) and some spicy sopressetta calabrese (a dry, cured salami, marinated in white wine). Yum! The capicolla will work superbly with a spinach, sun-dried tomato, and bocconcini pasta dish I’ve been scheming about lately.
