Picnic Lunch, Sorrentine style

As far as we can surmise, Italians don't "picnic". Highways have no pullouts or rest areas (except for behind the gas stations), and town parks are places to sit, but not eat. They go home around 1 or 1:30 for enormous 3 course lunches, then head back to work around 3 or 3:30. But we're on a tight budget so we'd like to present our solution to noon-time hunger.

Step 1, 

Find wood-oven pizzeria for bread. This is rare since most of the good Pizzerias don't open for lunch. Purchase bread.

Step 2,

With knife purchased in Paris (and destined for gift giving), open bread pocket.

Step 3,

Slice local vine ripened tomatoes, thick.

Step 4,

Gently portion Bufala (buffalo mozzerella).

Step 5,

Gently tear into two slightly unequal portions (large "half" goes to cook)

Step 6,

Don't forget the Peroni!

Each your sandwich while overlooking the old town Sorrento

If you like, you can also grill your sandwich on a ceramic BBQ!

Or find one of the few cozy spots on the shoreline and watch the fishermen repair their nets.
