Great giveaway, Fausto! What a treat for Dan and his family, and indeed for all of us readers!
I grew up with sausages and cheese very like your gifts, around our kitchen all the time.
I am second generation Italian/Sicilian American (now Canadian).
When I feel homesick, I head out to the Italian neighborhood to bring some home. I will cut it with my Pattada next time, in honor of its Sardinian origins!
