The Cheese Nazi Speaks!!!

Hey Folks,

For some time I’ve been doing investigative research on a crucial matter – the correct pronunciation of “Provolone”!

As you know, this country’s economy is overwhelmingly dependent on CONSUMERISM! As a result, we are inundated by ADVERTISING!! Buy!! Buy!! Buy!!

A while back - somewhere in that maelstrom of hypnotic assault - was an ad for a pizza or sub that promised lots of pro-voe-LONE cheese piled on top!!! pro-voe-LONE cheese!!

Now, I’m not Italian, but I grew up Catholic along with more Italians than you can see on “The Sopranos”; and “pro-voe-LONE” just didn’t sound right.

I checked around with friends – who didn’t have a clue (including some Italian friends); so, it was time to take drastic action! I headed to Wild Oats where the charming, young Amy helped put this controversy to sleep!!

Yes, sir!! She just pulled the Cheese Bible off the reference shelf, turned to the P’s, and right there it was!! Authorized by the “Cheese Nazi” himself: “pro-voe-LOW-neh” – not “pro-voe-LONE”!

Case closed! Thanks, Amy
