    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鈥檛 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?"

                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鈥檚 been $3.79/lb. there.

                          @jon-nyc except for that trifling lung ailment, you have enviable genes - the metabolic gift you just mentioned and (even more desirable IMO) somehow only getting by on about half the average sleep the rest of us poor slobs need.

                          (And I'm the opposite - need at least ten hours sleep 馃槥 )
