Here is a short list of "burnt offerings" to take to PEP (Peter) guaranteed to get his attention:
Supresada, the hotter the better
Provolone, the harder the better
Stuffed hot Italian peppers with garlic in
oil, the messier the better
Proscuito, the thinner the better, wrapped around almost anything
A loaf of unsliced Italian bread from Arthur's Avenue in the Bronx, the crispier the better
tofu and vegtables from CA won't do it....
Take it from one who knows our boy.
