A trip to the Pork Store

by Alexandra Salvatore

I love getting an early start on a Sunday and being the first customer at the Italian Pork Store. We got up early today and I brought my 2.5 year old son with me to experience what I grew up doing with my Mom. To my surprise they actually renovated and expanded the pork store Delfiore in Patchogue.

While I was there, I picked up a brick oven Italian bread, fresh warm mozzarella, hot dried sausage(sliced thin), 2 boxes of fresh ravioli, 1/4 lb of Genoa salami sliced thin, some of their marinated roasted red peppers and some fried eggplant and fried chicken cutlets for my son Joseph to snack on today and tomorrow. I was also craving something green so I picked up a bunch of broccoli rabe.

When we got home, I made salami, mozzarella and roasted red pepper with black pepper sandwiches for lunch.
