D & D Stands for . . .

DECIDEDLY DELICIOUS!

We took a trip to D & D Market on Franklin Avenue
in Hartford's South End today.

The cheese case is a sight to behold.
And see all of the Pizelle cookies underneath it? YUM!


Mmm . . . can I have some proscuitto, please?

"Excuse me sir, may I have a large container
of stuffed cherry peppers?"

Maybe some dry-aged salami?

We just had to buy a bag of these anise biscuit cookies.

Oh, lordy me! Would you just LOOK at this ricotta?

These steaks are absolutely mouth-watering!

Uh, yeah, OK, I'd like to have one of these roasts
for Sunday dinner, please.

Anybody need some beans for their minestrone?
Or perhaps their pasta e fagioli?

Oh, did you say you needed some canned
tomatoes for that famous sauce you make?

Check out this entire aisle devoted just to PASTA!

After D & D we headed to Franklin Grinders.

James was getting a little deliriously hungry
while waiting for his Dad to get his lunch.

Here is a beef cutlet grinder, which I have
since renamed "Heaven on a Roll."

And here is a ham and cheese grinder--SCRUMPTIOUS!




Are you hungry yet?

I have never been to Franklin Ave, but I have read this post 2 days in a row now.
I'm a NYer at heart, so good deli is very important and I have never found it in CT. Perhaps I need a lesson in Hartford. Perhaps this is where our "meeting" can be. We go in, grab lunch and get the F out of Hartford before we get shot.
You down?
