re: #506 Dark_Falcon

Pity you don’t live in Chicago. We have a small chain called Treasure Island which has loads of hard to find spices and foods. My mother still shops there at times, as its needed when she wants to try cooking a new dish.

The cultural differences are super interesting. You can find loads of stuff in even a tiny market in scotland (like garam masala) that you can’t always easily find in some big US supermarkets. There’s a tiny spice shop in town where Jimmah and I can get lots of stuff. We’re making our own hummus now and it’s no problem to find tamarind paste.

But no tex-mex, and no cajun or creole. That’s unpossible! /

It’s a bit weird for me that it’s impossible to find andoullie or even kielbasa. There are places to order it from, but again, money, you know.
