What's your FAVORITE cold cut? Italian or otherwise :)

[AtrolinK]

I work as a tour guide in Roma (Rome).
About 10 years ago i was with this couple of American tourists, who after spending the morning at the Vatican Museums proposed me to eat lunch with them.
I took them to a tipical Roman trattoria, and they brought us a plate of cold cuts first, as an antipasto.
The lady had the ham, but she was very hesitant about the mortadella (or, as we call it here in Roma, MORTAZZA lol).
It looked weird, she said.
I really wanted her to try it out so i said "it is vapourized meat, have a slice"
And her "eoowww, VAPOURIZED MEAT? No thanks"
Me then "ma'am, have you ever had hot dog before?"
"Yes of cours, i love hot dog"
"Good. So, hot dog is vapourized meat. With the difference that hot dog is filled with the left overs of the worst cuts you can imagine, while mortazza is made with premium italian meat from the food valley."
"Alright, let me try it"
She then proceeded to have it every other day stuffed inside a cut open piece or Roman white pizza.

I‘m so blessed. I life in Austria near the italian border. On sundays we, as a family, travel only one hour to San Daniele in Friuli, and we love to enjoy a big platter of prosciutto di San Daniele 🍗🍷😋

YouTube News: Pasta Grammar will no longer be co-hosted by Harper as he mysteriously went missing after talking about Mortadella. When police went to question his wife, Eva, they found her grinding meat. When asked what she was making, she responded sarcastically, "Baloney."

[MasterShake]

Harper: “calm down calm down, I’m just saying it’s like baloney”
Eva: “so you’ve chosen violence”

🤣🤣😆❤️❤️❤️❤️

[leonardcseh]

Love the look of murder in Eva's eye when you kept on referring to mortadella as bolony😂😂😉

[ubaldoa.rosario]

When Eva eats, she gestures like she’s listening to great music. Italian food is Eva’s inspiration, she elevates to another dimension.

You’re killing me here. My momma made me sandwiches like this every day until I graduated from university at age 23. Every day for al those years. My friends, even as a young adult, chuckled at this young adult being still fed daily by his mommy, but never teased—they were envious. Alas, my mother is no longer with us so this video is so sweet, yet so sad. Thank you.

That eye-roll when Harper says "it looks like boloney" cracked me up and kept me laughing for at least half and hour. Hi friends, from Bologna. Our mortadella is watching you.

[Kathleen]

I LOVE that you sliced the meat so thinly! It makes a huge difference in the taste. Love you both.

This video brought back memories of my Italian grandfather and his cold cuts. He was from Bologna, Italy and moved to America during WW2. He would complain about the "Italian" cold-cuts available in America because they just weren't the same. He had Italian friends or family members send him the 'good stuff' on occasion. I remember eating mortadella and prosciutto when I was younger. I'm now starving! lol

Thank you for bringing back those memories to me.

Who else wants to be friends with this adorable couple? I love your dynamics. Thank you for sharing your content.

I had the privilege of visiting Bologna. Not enough time in my lifetime to try all of the treasures. Ragu, mortadella, tortellini en brodo, etc. 😋😋😋

[vanh]

The looks on Eva's face are priceless!!

[Quackman]

I thought I knew every Italian cold cut but the Spianata Calabrese is one I have never had! Or even heard of! I will have to seek that out!

[Goonlivvin]

Both the cheese (formaggio)and cold meat (affettato) episodes were great, but now you have to also do one on bread! Because without good bread you can’t really enjoy the affettati! (some ideas Panne Ferrarese, pagnotta di Sezze etc...) also maybe an episode on agriturismo (maybe the best restaurants unknown to most tourists)

Great videos I grew up in South Africa and am of Italian decent. I can relate to a-lot of what you say as growing up in the 80’s and even 90’s most of the pasta and Italian products had to be brought in when people visited or from specialist shops. The rest we had to make our selves or improvise as best you could (like using bacon instead of guanciale for carbonara). And I still die a little inside everytime I hear someone has used a supermarket bought carbonara sauce as it is both quicker to make yourself and so much better!

Keep up the great work and thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos!

I love how authentic Italian food is kept fresh and simple, like the panini at the end of the video. Another reason why I think Italians are some of the best chef’s in the world.

Growing up in Canada, I was the kid in kindergarten that ate mortadella sandwiches for lunch while other kids ate peanut butter and jam. Kids looked at me strange but they didn’t know what they were missing!!! I now live in Tennessee where there isn’t a lot of Italian culture and I miss my panini sandwiches so so much!!!

[peterbrown]

I just started watching your videos and so far I love them them all. I'm watching as many of your older ones as I can, and I want to go to Italy! Thanks to you both, but especially to Eva!

[DavidAndTheDummies]

I'm always amazed at how knowledgeable she is with EVERYTHING Italian cuisine. Glad yall even made this channel. Never knew these things
