  15. Need a hostess gift when invited to dinner? The Times' S. Irene Virbila has a few ideas

    When I spent some months in Venice, Italy, years ago, my friend Paolo would show up at dinner parties with prosciutto. I'm not talking about a paper packet of sliced ham but a whole prosciutto di San Daniele, the famous ham from Friuli, cured with the foot on. The host would hand him a glass of Prosecco, he'd pull his well-traveled prosciutto out of the bag and proceed to carve off slices as his contribution to the <em>cicchetti</em> (antipasti) spread. Brilliant. And after, it would go home with him to be trotted out for the next dinner party.
