Tonight on the news (RAI1) the story of the price of bread.
Apparantly in Bologna its more expensive to buy bread than Panettone. (Panettone - either pane-t-one, big bread, or pan del tone, bread of luxury, - is a tall bread / fruit cake eaten at Christmas that hails from Milan - and is good with almost everything from Mascarpone, to jam, to a glass of sweet wine or liquer)
One lady on the report said that she feels like she is buying a jewel every time she goes into a bakers.
I guess that's a positive vote for the baker!
Also on the news tonight, an article on how to make the Euro stretch further this Christmas. Sliced tongue (boiled in salted water then sliced) and Tripe of all kinds were recommended.
From the straining buttons on the jacket of the anchorman, I would guess he has been tucking in more to Panettone than to sliced tongue.
