@kittyloo   I can find it in the supermarkets but if you want it out and about on a sandwich or cheesesteak which, don't even get me started about the chicken cheesesteaks here, the server has no idea what provolone is, was or ever will be.

It is brunch for me.  A slice of rosemary bread toasted with Kerrygold butter and 1/2 smashed avocado on top with sprinkling of Trader Joe's Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning.

Making a late lunch now: low salt ham with a slice of tomato on low cal oatmeal bread.

Sorry Laura, your problem must be unique to the Atlanta area, here in SE coastal GA, Savannah to be exact, provolone is very prominent in every sandwich shop.

LOL at "it's amazing what they don't know", we certainly know what pastina, escarole and "real provolone, romano and parmesan" are and they are not in the "specialty" shops here.

Actually it's amazing to us what people from 'Jersey' don't know about us.

@Laura14 I am on a sort of plant diet and pumpernickle bread has little sugar so that's why Ilike it.  Love farm fresh tomatoes.  I never thought there was any cheese that measured up to provolone except parmigina reggiana. .  I am in the Northeast but I had no thought that one could ot get provolone cheese anywhere in the U.S.

color me confused. provolone cheese is difficult to get??? really??  every store in town sells it here.  are we talking about a "special" type of provolone?  one of my favorite cheeses BTW

@kittyloo 

No, I'm in Savannah, GA and provolone is readily available in all grocery stores and is always an option as a choice of cheese at all sandwich shops here.

That is so not true.....

@Laura14   I think even the "Subway" sandwich shop here offers provolone as a choice.

@World Traveler  Yum....  usually have a 2 per day...  one during the day and one after dinner.  SO GOOD.

@nyc1 I commend you for your restraint! ha!

I follow Andrew's sage advice.......1-2 after each meal. But I normally don't have one after breakfast. So it is a couple after lunch and a couple after dinner; and quite frankly, I sneak in one or two in between those times when my sweet tooth takes over my will power. 

At 26 calories each, I feel it isn't too bad of a way to live.
