Anyone know where I can get decent pickled onions and not those watery cocktail ones
either! You can get virtually anything pickeled in the stores here in NC including palm
leaves, pigs feet, ancovies etc etc but try the humble onion!
Luckily I have food parcels once a year from the red cross

Part of the fun is finding the elusive items. It gives an excuse for taking a day trip to
buy them. : ) Seriously I enjoy going to different countries to try the cuisine. I can't
wait for March to roll around when I get to leave the US again to sponsor High School band
students going abroad to perform. It's too bad Kevin can't leave the country but
eventually after AOS he will be able to.....it takes about 2 1/2 years here in Jax doesn't
it Jonathan?

LOL! Betastar! You always bring a smile to my face.
AS for bread that can be used for a hammer, that is what you want, right? The stuff
already wrapped on the shelves could NEVER be used for a hammer, although it might be
mistake for cold oatmeal.
I love CRUSTY bread! Our Publix bakery, Albertson's bakery and Food Lion bakery all bake
several kinds of crusty bread. People here know the difference between stale bread and
crusty bread. Believe me, Tallahassee is NO teaming metropolis.
Yes, luxury items DO COST more here, being imported than they do in the country they
come from. That is just part of the deal with imports I guess. Imported beer is twice
as much and isn't even really imported. ALL beer is bottled in FL that is sold in FL.
Every beer is labeled FLORIDA or FL on the lid. We have very WEAK alcohol content here
in FL. Even "imported" beers are all the same alcohol content or less. Last year I did
a cost of living analysis and discovered that pretty much EVERYONE in the US pays about
the same thing for a gallon of milk, loaf of bread, dozen eggs, etc. Hard to believe
but it is true.
I have to pay $14 a pound for my favorite Stilton cheese. But a DECENT loaf of bread costs
about the same whether we buy premade or bakery baked. People tried to tell me I was just
lucky before. That Tallahassee must be some teaming metropolis. Well, I hate to burst
bubbles, but I have lived all over the US in big towns and small towns. They ALL have had
a tremendous ethnic section, (and I don't mean just the Taco section) even in towns that
had absolutely no ethnic population. So maybe you have to drive 2 miles across town. You
can't say you can't get the items, only that you are too whatever to go get them. (lazy?)
Granted, you may not be able to walk out your front door and get everything you want. But
if you try sometimes, you just might find... you get what you need. Awww, yeah. You get
what you need. You brush your teeth once a month? Oh, when I made that statement I was
thinking everyone brushed once every 12 months like I do.
When I am in Austria, I miss certain feminine supplies as well. ;o) Y'ever wet one of
those things and whip it at a wall? They stick like darts.
Also, one thing you mentioned about not having what you wanted in cities that are not
cities of some sort. All you have to do is mention it to your local store manager. We have
gotten dozens of items into our stores here just by asking and providing the manager with
an empty container so s/he can order the item. As for the bread, well, I doubt that
EVERYONE where you live is so stupid as to not crave crusty bread. I mean, come on! Once
you try it you never want to go back to soft crust.
BTW, in Taiwan they have the best bakeries I have ever been to. Better than even Paris.
However, what do you think Che-Ning gets homesick over? Wonder Bread!!!
Thanks for your kind comments, Betsy!

Yes, it took us 28-29 months using Jacksonville.
You know, he CAN leave the country. All you have to do is get Advance Parole. If you are
unaware of this, and he DOES want to travel, write back and I will explain it to you.

none of that takes into account tim-tams, which are only sold here by little shops that
import them. chris reckons they should be considered medicinal for women with pms and
people who are stressed out.

We have milk sold in bottles here, but they are plastic. I think the largest is a
quart. They're shaped just like the old glass bottles, which I *do* remember.

Now there is something I need to get my hands on for Che-Ning. If they work that well!
Tim-Tam? Hmmm. Do you know who makes them? Kind of hard to get the store manager to look
for an item for me unless I have the manufacturer's name.
Thanks!

Tim-Tam? Hmmm. Do you know who makes them? Kind of hard to get the store manager to look
for an item for me unless I have the manufacturer's name.
Thanks!

I assume this link was for Tim-Tams? I couldn't find any references to what this company
makes other than biscuits. They don't seem to have anything but fun for kids. They REALLY
cater to the students, I guess students must write about them in school.

arnott's makes biscuits (cookies to you) and crackers. they're probably the largest
producer of these in australia.
http://www.arnotts.com.au/corp/once/today.htm
explains their product lines and should give you an idea of how huge arnott's are.
http://www.vislab.usyd.edu.au/nicole...es/timtam.html
has a photo of a tim tam (though it can't convey how silky the filling is or how crispy,
almost wafer-lke, the biscuit is, or the smoothness of the icing that's just exactly
rich enough).

we had tim tams at our seattle wedding, and several people asked me where they could buy
more. they're just really really good (and comfort food for chris).
