They have CANNOLI Tubes! OMG! Thanks for this link!

Do you mean the metal tubes for making cannolis? If so, I found those at a nearby kitchen shop here in Wales. Are they that hard to come by??

I should be going back to that kitchen shop in the next week or so. Do you want me to pick you up some?

Oh sweetie, that is so kind of you, but I already ordered some. LOL! Will keep you in mind, though. That was very nice of you to offer.  :-*

Has anyone managed to find Provolone cheese in the UK?? I really miss the stuff, and as every store I ask I just get dumb looks. I have tried Morrisons, Co-Op, Somerfield, Safeway, and even the Spar. We dont have an ASDA, Tescos or Sainsburys anywhere near me so maybe someone could enlighten me?

The only place I've found so far that carries provolone is IJ Mellis in Edinburgh.  Right at the end of my street!

Thanks for the info! Now all I have to do is convince the DH to take me on a trip from Wales to Scotland to buy some cheese!  [smiley=joker.gif]
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in his shoes. That way if he gets angry, he'll be a mile away - and barefoot. ;D

If you're ever in either Llandeilo or Narberth, both have excellent delis and (I believe) sell Provolone!

Maybe Sainsburys will bring it back.  Theirs wasn't bad.
Insert wonderfully creative signature here …

Perhaps its just my tastes that have changed... i cant categorically state that the cheese was UGH, but i really did not like it at all.  :-X
