Really? You can buy that pillow-shaped stuff at Safeway. Is that not "real mozarella"? I think it tastes pretty good but I don't know if I ever had "real mozzarella". It has an Italian name and is not in brick form like the awful brick form of mozzarella with a generic label.
Veering even further off topic -- on CNN today they were talking about how Yanks now (or will soon) spend more money on wine than Frenchies. Whatever, seems odd to me, but she ended it by saying "overall consumption has not gone up but instead sales of premium wines have risen dramatically.
Premium wines are wines that cost more than 5 dollars a bottle".
I know booze is cheaper there, but that can't be true. Can it? The vino must be mighty cheap if 5 bucks is considered expensive.
