Anyone seen Boos Block Mystery Oil in a local store? It is used on butcher block counters and cutting boards.

This place sounds interesting, so I thought I'd pass on the article. Too bad PATH to WTC is closed on weekends. On a less vegen note - I tried the bbq quail from the 440 Asian Market. Very tasty - $5.00 for two. I think one on a bed of greens would make a great first course for a special dinner.

Heads up. Coincidentally, FloFab mentioned a market at Grand and Hester in her column yesterday which I figured gave it some cred which I planned on trying. I think I'll stick to WF and that place in Newport that is not called William Sonoma.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but I bought frozen corn tortillas imported from El Salvador today at La Conga - just masa and water. They are pretty thick, like an arepa.

Anybody know if any of the local shops make and sell fresh corn tortillas? I'm not looking for a restaurant, just some place that sells 'em for home use

Not a sourcing request, but a brand recommendation -
Recently learned that Japan produces combo miso/dashi pastes. I bought some and it was quite good. Curious if anyone thinks one brand is superior to the others.

Did you try the shop two doors in from Barrow/Erie on Newark?
I'd print out the link and show it to them. If it works, I have a make believe friend who needs to lose 5-10 pounds - let me know and I'll pass the info on.

Anyone know where I can get Yacon syrup from? Whole Wallet up in Paramus failed - the guy said they've had requests for it, but they don't stock it.

Corrado's has a nice variety of stock but you have to check the expiration dates on their perishable items though. I wish they would get an Italian bread supplier for thier daily fresh bread section. Their fruits and vegetables are pretty good and reasonably priced.

I checked yesterday at Corrado's in NA they didn't have it with the other Bob's Red Mill stuff. But I did get 10 jars of marinated artichoke hearts at $1 each!

Spelt is readily available at most health food stores with bulk grains. Bob's Red Mill makes several spelt flours. The Pathmark on Grand carries a lot of the BRM products, as does the Corrado's in North Arlington. I didn't notice if either one specifically had spelt flour in stock but if you call either one they might order it for you. Fairway has a lot of bulk grains and flours but I don't remember if the one in Woodland Park had it. I don't think I'm being that helpful but at the very least you can order it from BRM online.

Anyone know where I can get spelt? It is an ancient grain. Thank you!

I haven't, but I'll call them. I actually have only had it in Turkey.

Fairway had Kumato tomatoes, 3 one pound packages, on sale this week for $5. Great price for the only tasty tomatoes this time of year. I went to the store in Woodland Park (aka West Paterson) on rt 46 just west of where it connects to Route 3.

Has anyone come across candied pumpkin in their travels? Close to JC is a plus.

Anyone know where Nha Trang (RIP) sourced their char sui bau?
Also - you might have noticed that Sorento cheese has teamed up with an Italian cheesemaker. I tried the part skim ricotta. Truly disgusting. I tossed out 2 lbs after the first taste. Sweet and tasted of some sort of gelatine.

Sorry - this might not be the best rubric to post this article under. Also, using this in reverse - rollmops are back at Whole Foods, Tribeca, after having been gone for a while.

Try Moloney's Meat on Newark Avenue near the Courthouse. They prepare cutlets.

Partially frozen cutlets are actually fairly easy to slice thin, but I typically just hammer the cutlets flat to about 1/2" for uniform grilling and better marinating. They're surprisingly plastic.

22nd Street Butcher Shop in Bayonne on Avenue C, they did some veal scaloppini for me last week that were terrific and they do chicken the same way. They actually wrapped them piece by piece on individual sheets of butcher paper before they wrapped them.
