In bed with prosciutto
During the early days of our extended stay in Roma - circa 10 years! my wife Sue never felt comfortable shopping when I wasn't around. One day during a shopping trip to the local Supermercato she wanted to ask the man at the cold meat counter for 'two hundred grammes of ham', so she said: due letti di prosciutto. The man looked rather perplexed until I intervened and repeated the request for due etti di prosciutto. I later explained to my wife that she had asked the man for two 'beds' of ham.
