    Hello...just to clarify. Discount supermarkets like Eurospin don't carry lesser quality products, but no name brands that are mostly produced in Italy with all the safety rules that are required in this country. The products cost less because they are non commercial made brands. But if you look on the package where they are produced, you'll notice that the names of the manufacturing companies are the same as the big name products. Eurospin can be compared to an Aldi, which you can find in Italy too.😊

      GRAZIE. All of the shops have some great items and some not so great even if they are brand names. Eurospin doe offer a great variety of foods . The products also cost less because there is less overhead especially because the items stay in the carton boxes. But for sure the pastas in Eurospin are not the best quality. We do love going there for other items.

    Where I live: Barilla pesto 4.75€, Muti passata 700g 3.5€!
    If I want to make i.e. a "near authentic" Carbonara, I rely on Lidl and their "Italian week" to buy the goods such as Pecorino cheese. As for guanciale, I'm happy to find a decent pancetta.
    Gosh, how many times I've said that I'll be moving to Italy!

    Hi Eszter and Alfred. What was the name of the supermarket that you went to? There is such a great selection. The prices are very good. I was just wondering if the fruit and veg vendor is up for grabs lol 😆 as well as his wonderful looking produce . The views are beautiful from your apartment. Have a great week.Thank you. Much love 😊❤

    Do you live in Trecastagni? I lived there for 3 years on Via S Consoli. Thank you for for allowing me to revisit my memories of such a wonder place and incredible people.

    You mentioned wine. I drank wine when I was in Sicily almost every day and I never had a problem. I have the wine here and I feel like I’m getting a little acid in my belly.

      Myself, unlike the rest of Italy, I find the Sicilian wines a bit acidy, i.e. Nero Diavolo.

    blueberries for 5 euro compared to what we get in Canada at maybe 3 dollars canadian big diff ..so not everything is a deal in Italy

    • @YouMeandSicily
      @YouMeandSicily  8 дней назад +1

      It is a big container. In the US we pay about $8 for a container this big.

      Probably, because it's not yet the blueberry season here. Blueberries grow spontaneously in our woods in July-August.

    €91 for cheese (that one huge chunk)? No thanks. Mozzarella di bufala is $10 here for one ball so I rarely buy it. I would eat it more in Italy. Are the vegetables similar in ripeness in the supermarket compared to the green grocer?

    Guys when are you doing a show that is all about cooking at the Alfred and Esther household. Yes please do a show all about Agrigento. Yes, yes I have suggested that you guys get together with the mayor of Catania and the Tourism Secretary to do a show on the new objectives/initiatives of cleaning up the tons of litter on the highways and byways of Sicily and graffiti all over. That is so mismanage putting asphalt all over the manholes in all the roads, totally mismanaged and with no brains on that head lol, lol, lol. All the best as always. A blessed new week. February is almost here so we are talking groundhog here in the USA then in March St. Patricks where it is not just a great day for the Irish but everyone goes Irish here in the states.
