Of missing ham and bread
We crack Sun reporters never, of course, use our blogs for personal benefit; but I did get this sad little e-mail from Midnight Sun Sam: ...

Trinacria, my favorite Italian deli, has now stopped carrying their famous calabrese hot peppered ham. They said the company that made it is discontinuing the red peppered meat. Calabrese was the main reason I went to Trinacria -- as far as I know, nowhere else in town has it. (Reason No. 2 is for pumpkin spice coffee). Can you put out a blog and see if anybody knows another calabrese spot? Or am I out of luck?
And while we're at it, the closest place I've found to buy the Brownberry Bread I'm addicted to is the Publix in St. Petersburg, Fla.; and airport security was not amused last time when I took three loaves through and claimed it was my lunch. The company has also stopped shipping it. Suggestions?
Comments
why would airport security care about some loaves of bread? i brought a case of exotic mangos home from the mango festival in Miami and no one blinked an eye.
It was my third carry on.

Shouldn't the title be "Of missing ham and bread"?
Isn't that what it is? :-)

Unrelated to this blog, but I heard Lemmongrass and Tsunami off Central Ave are open.
Thanks very much for the heads up!

Which type of bread is it specifically? Are you sure its not sold under one of their other brands? Arnold?

The quality of bread at our house has improved since I started making it all myself. Since bread freezes well, it just takes a few hours (plus a few more hours of waiting for bread to rise) every 2 to 4 weekends.

I forgot to add:
Ham, on the other hand, is a bit out of my reach.
