My snooty brother introduced me to Boar's Head thinly sliced Prosciutto
Panino. It's very thinly sliced Italian ham rolled up in mozarella.
Delicious! But way over priced. Sorry, I'm not paying $15 for that.
Fits well with a wine and cheese upper crust type party, if you're into
that sort of thing. Heh.

Then again, the Brie in my fridge is Boar's Head brand. Tastes
wonderful, imported from France and surprisingly didn't cost an arm and
a leg.
