F-Bomb!

I just had to throw away an entire pound of sliced prosciutto because it was covered in mold.  I wouldn't have believed that mold could grow that fast on something that salty.  Or even that mold could grow on it at all!

ARGH!!!

Prosciutto is a very dry ham. It is prepared by coating it in salt to draw out the moisture, then left to air dry for a couple years. It makes the meat very dry, very salty and very flavorful. Because it takes so long to make, it's also very expensive.

I don't buy it very often, but this was a treat for me. Or was going to be.

Thin sliced prosciutto, with ricotta cheese and freshly fried tortilla chips is absolutely fantastic.

Maybe you should've kept it in a drier place. o.o

=/ I see. That does sound really good. How much is it anyway?

Oh! And have you gotten any e-mail from a friend of mine? He's been trying to contact ya.

I think it was $10 or 12.
