When my friend open his first Italian deli in east Harlem. He hired a child hood friend Johnny bell to work their. Bell was a black man who would fight with the Italians he even spoke some Italian.

He told my friend the store needed Moslem food in the store. Beside the Italian stuff. Plus the Italian stuff was kind of expensive for the neighborhood.

Turns out they did not buy the Moslem stuff they wolfed down the Italian stuff even though it was pricey.
