    A bit of flour, egg, salt, and oil. Less than an hour of work.

    The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

      I'll stock up. For one thing, I wonder if the types of wheat used in Europe tend to be different. And I've tried some American brands that taste distinctly inferior, though I certainly haven't tried them all.

        Apparently it's only some brands. (We could all do with less pasta anyway.)

          Yea, but it's basically all the big ones.

            The Italian groceries, of which we have many (they don’t call it Staten Italy for nothing) are going to be unhappy.

              I'll order it from Italy. Problem solved.

              Has anyone else heard the lie/ myth we're all getting a $2000 "tariff check?"

                I'm among the exceptions. I'm constantly battling to put weight on and I burn crazy calories exercising. 😛 😛 😛

                  Trump cuts tariffs on beef, coffee and other foods as inflation concerns mount

                  Haven't checked to see if pasta is in the mix.

                    Bob says the wheat in Italian pasta is different and the water used is different.
                    Bob is not happy.

                      The little Italian market I popped into yesterday had DiCecco at $4/lb. The proprietor said next week it will be $8.

                      On the other hand, today I was in my usual Key Foods supermarket and DiCecco was on sale at 2 packages for $5. I bought two but may go back for more. Lately it’s been $3.79/lb. there.
