Supermarket delight: the banco


This morning we went to the supermarket rather than shopping on-line, like I usually do. Yes, we felt like going to see, choose, browse...because the limits of the on-line shopping is that you end up buying the same list, more or less... 

This is the "banco" where you can choose among a huge variety of cheeses and salumi (prosciutti, salami, mortadella, coppa, etc.). We got some pecorino from Manciano (close to my home in Tuscany) and prosciutto toscano which, compared to the Parma, has ground pepper on the skin and has a longer seasoning, so it's a bit dryer and has a sharper flavor. We also found a rather nice red wine, the Morellino,  from the same area.
Lunch was ready in a jif, today!
