Anyway, I'm back just because no one else has the deli news together as you do. Today when I signed on again, a mystery was solved (recently I tried without success to find Wilno soft salami in my local deli). The counterman couldn't tell me why it was no longer available or when it might be again. Now I know and although I am disappointed at the update, I understand why and I thank you for your diligence. I enjoyed Wilno for many years; it was much superior to most other brands. Hello David, I had unsubscribed from your blog a while ago due to some non food related remarks which frankly irritated me.
