on the shelves – nice honeys and condiments, some produce. I didn’t check out the prices on the groceries, but the sandwich I got was good and well priced. Have fun exploring.

. A sticky belgian walffle I had off a cart in Paris one cold winter day. I was a poor student and this was the treat of my life! 4) Hot dog stands in Vancouver. They were made with 100% beef or vegetarian, and came with a great...

be rewarded with then, the tastiest Moo Shoo Pork and handmade pancakes! That was 15 years ago, and a class will be priceless later. If you can shop at a store that sells spices by the ounce (not in bottles or packaged already)...

makes me so dang happy! And if I had to eat just one food for the rest of my life it’d be Pepito’s bean lupitas with sour cream, guac, salsa and a bowl of chips (which are needed as condiment delivery vehicles so it...

. I love food, love to eat out, and am trying to keep my sugar/ cholesterol levels in line. I have also lost a good bit of weight, and want to keep it off. I usually save my calories for a nice night out at a restaurant with a...

rolls or long rolls as you prefer. If you wish, you can also order freshly shucked oysters (malapagues right now) & clams on the half shell from the fish guy adjoining. While they’re preparing your order, select a bottle of...

of those canned vegetables you see in all the Chinese markets, and the bottles of spicy preserved radishes and such. I lived on some of that stuff when I moved out and lived far away from the city. My parents would send care...

Beef in it. She cooked meat until it was grey. Tasteless, soggy vegetables, limp hot dogs, the woman could not cook. My father used to remark (as I piled on any and every condiment I could find) “every meals is a banquet...

I can never understand the reccs for Nyala. I found it the blandest Ethiopian food ever. I much prefer Rahel. Never been, but people tell me Sona is Overrated. Father’s Office, for sure. Bottle Rock. I have more fun at Vendome...

Actually Chef Boiardi was a real person. Who worked in a diner and bottled his pasta sauce because so many customers wanted to take it home after eating it in the diner. Now I realize this does not make canned pasta authentic....
