Borgoguy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 How dare you. Parmigiano-Reggiano is the king amongst cheeses. Pecorino Romano is pale by comparison. Further, one is a cow's milk cheese (Parmigiano), while the other is made from sheep's milk (Romano). Can't tell that I was born near Parma, can you?

I just think reggiano is overrated as well as overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 A little off topic, but give me a stick of pepperoni, imported provolone, Greek and Scilian olives with a six pack and I'm in heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take everything you mentioned but the olives. They're worse than artichokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a better substitute for Reggiano--IMO--try Asiago. I find Romano to be too sharp, with no depth. Whatever you do, never--upon penalty of death (of your taste buds)--buy domestic versions of either. They are awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borgoguy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 You don't like artichokes? Have you ever had stuffed artichokes? Dude, I lived not far from Castroville, CA, where the best artichokes are grown. I would drive down there and get them fresh picked. I could eat artichokes every day.

faba Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Give me a piece of sharp provolone cheese from the Italian deli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHector Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I just think reggiano is overrated as well as overpriced. You might want to trade your tastebuds in for a new set then. There's no substitute IMO and I'm not even a ginz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagoots Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Theres a reason why Reggiano is called the king of Italian cheese. Also, if you have an option, try and get the cheese where the milk was taken in the Spring. This tastes best because the grass that the cows graze on is optimum. Asiago is a great cheese as well, but the closest substitute for Parmigiano Reggiano is Grana Padano. The "grana" term has to do with that crunchy, crystaline aspect of the cheese that is so great. I could go on, but suffice to say that there are so many choices that there is no "best" just favorites. For a great antipasto, try a great Provolone, Reggiano, and fresh Ricotta drizzled with honey & a little black pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I was in Parma on Tuesday. The antipasto was a huge plate of cold cuts. About five kinds of prosciutto and sausage. Best sliced meat I've ever tasted. It's insane there. The old lady babbled for about five minutes about the difference between them, but I was having trouble following her. She noticed, pointed to one and said "this one is the best". She wasn't kidding. Thankfully there was no lardo this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
