Proscuito, the thinner the better, wrapped around almost anything
A loaf of unsliced Italian bread from Arthur's Avenue in the Bronx, the crispier the better

tofu and vegtables from CA won't do it....

Take it from one who knows our boy.

Jim,

You do know Peter, and he does not seem like a whole grain, hay and alfalfa kind of guy ... that's for sure!

Don't know if I can match what's on the list, but was thinking of some California grown pistachios and almonds, some Ghirardelli dark chocolate, maybe a bottle or two of Napa Valley or Monterey County wine, if I can get in on the plane. I would consider a loaf of real San Francisco sourdough French bread, from Boudin's bakery right on Fisherman's wharf ... but it would probably not survive the flight without being eaten first.

Thanks for the advice !

I lived in California for 3 years and they had no idea what Italian was. The only cold cuts you could get was Oscar Meyer packaged crap. Every one in CA is into eating healthy so they can live 6 more months in a nursing home.

I don't know what they allow you to bring on a plane any more, but a loaf of crusty Italian bread may be considered a weapon! When you land in CT find an englishing speaking cab driver that doesn't look like Osama's cousin and ask him to take you to a good Italian deli so you can stock up. Peter will be putty in your hands.

Sankebit,

Great advice!

I'll have a rental car, so all I need to do is follow the bread crumbs and smell of Proscuito to the nearest Italian deli and stock up.
