So the sozlet's sweet, smart, adorable, but also... two. At the grocery store today, she was getting restless, grabbed a thing of proscuitto off the shelf, and sank her fangs into it. Twisted Evil

So, I bought it. Rolling Eyes

I've never cooked nothin' with it before. Any suggestions?

It is a kind that is wrapped up into a tube with a layer of mozzarella.

IMO, it is edible per se (and even very tasty), without any cooking.

Make a grilled cheese sandwich. Or on crackers...

Now if the sozlet had grabbed proscuitto cold cuts... wrap them around lightly steamed asparagus spears.

The above is mostly from Mrs. SealPoet.

My first answer is that you could knit a doily...

Mmmmmmmm. The asparagus thing reminds me of a sandwich I used to get at a dinstinctly unvegetarian place called the Howling Cow: ham-wrapped asparagus on fresh bread with Swiss cheese, mmmmmm...

I'm with Steiss: eat as is on a nice sliced Italian bread (ciabatta's my favorite)...

Oh! I thought you had to cook it.

Cool.

Yes, I'm embarrassing myself to no end, but that's never stopped me before -- HOW do you serve it without cooking? Like, unroll it? Slice little lengthwise things so you get a prosciutto - mozz - prosciutto swirl?

Slice lengthwise, if I'm picturing what you've got right. Or however you like -- but it is wrapped around the cheese for a reason. (I mean, you're not like having the Duke of Parma for dinner, are you?)

Or, rather, not lengthwise, but, hmmm, you know, the way you'd figure you'd slice it.

You're from the midwest: slice it like a cheese log.

Yes yes not lengthwise crosswise.

I resent the cheeselog comment, city mouse.

Or am I the city mouse?

Anyway, thanks.

Sorry for asking, but what is sozlet? My Babylon online dictionary did not provide any translation...

Hee hee...

"-let" diminutive added to my already dimunitized name. Like piglet or owlet.

Ah, I understand. Sorry, it first I thought that this was some exotic pet, and you took your screen name after it. But have not you taught her that it is not permitted to grab goods from the shelves and to bite them?

(Biggest laugh today... suspect you are being purposely obtuse, steissd. But if not -- she's TWO! There is teaching, and there is the resultant behavior, which, from a two-year-old, is not always sterling.)

I ain't suburban!! I'm a city girl!!

OK I gotta ask... WHAT kind of exotic pet did you think the sozlet was, exactly? Python? Cockatoo? Monitor lizard?

No clue. But when I read about her sinking fangs into a proscuitto that was not yet paid for, I though (excuse me) that this was a rare kind of a dog. Of course, I did not know that she was an infant, otherwise I would not ask anything about teaching her how to behave.

Hehehehehhehehheee...!

So, I'm this, like, blue-haired lady with excessive makeup and VERY high heels who totters along muttering to her fluffy little ill-tempered mutt, who sports a pink bow and a baleful stare.

Yup, that's me! Very Happy

Sorry, madam, I have never seen you in real life, so I had no clue of how old may be your kids. Receive my sincere apologies, please.
