The next time you put on your favorite sweater, remember this:

"The Merino is a breed or group of breeds of domestic sheep, characterized by very fine soft wool. It was established in Spain near the end of the Middle Ages, and was for several centuries kept as a strict Spanish monopoly." (via Wikipedia)

"When asked for his top Neapolitan dishes, Pepe is quick to note: 'Neapolitan food isn't just pizza; there's an amazing cuisine...you can't find anywhere else in the world, cultivated in the volcanic soil of Vesuvius.
