„Therefore, they said, Parma ham produced in the UK did not have to comply with Italian slicing standards.

BBC News | Business | Asda sends ham producers packing
„A judge ruled that although EC regulations gave Parma ham a protected "designation of origin", they did not include the strict Italian rules on slicing and packaging. The ruling is a victory for Asda in its battle with the powerful Parma ham trade association, Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma. A victory for AsdaAsda celebrated its win by setting up a Parma ham stall on the pavement outside the court in London with a placard describing the case as "the barmy Parma drama." According to Italian law, the ham must be fully prepared for sale in the Parma region of the Po Valley under the control of the Consorzio, which has police-like powers to enforce compliance with the rules.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„The rituals of the new post-modern espresso reveal additional differences from the traditional Italian and Italian-American cuisines. If the small, standup bar is the quintessential Italian setting for espresso cuisine, and the cafe, with tables, chairs, newspapers, and light foods is the typical setting for the Italian-American cuisine, then the espresso cart is the characteristic setting for the Seattle cuisine.“

„I then bought a Gaggia Tebe and it was another ballpark altogether, thick delicous crema without any trouble at all. After seven years my trustworhy Gaggia now has earned retirement and I´ve replaced it with a Pavoni Europiccola. An advice! If you´re serious about your espresso, do not buy the cheapest machines.“
