I was in just before Christmas and they had the veggie Atora. Didn't notice how much it was though - I try to avoid looking at prices in there!

I've been banned (again).....I only go at Christmas, but this years little trip blew through the $200 barrier far too easily....oh well, the ban is only 11 months, so it'll expire just in time for next Christmas

You mean the World Market at Fry/99 next to where Wholefoods is coming? Or is there another one close by? I was in there just before Christmas - some stuff was quite cheap, some was a bit pricey... almost 5 bucks for Pataks sauces vs 2 for 4.00 in HEB, but the Heinz beans were cheap at 1.79....or was that at British Isles....can't remember

I find the best price for beans is Phoenecia. The British Shop up at The Woodlands is even more expensive than The British Isles Store but they had kippers for my fish pie \o/. A friend also found this place: Raj Grocer, 15210 Texas 3, Webster, TX 77598. If you are even heading South, Galveston etc. it's worth a little pop in, the have sausage rolls and pies in their freezer!!

Beans are always cheap in Fiesta. I need to go to Phonecia to get some chorizo though.

Gah.

As for spotted dick... I would like to try making it, and also clootie dumpling... where DO you find suet?
You can buy suet at any half decent butchers or meat packing place - just ask to speak to the butcher and not the spotty teenager working the cash register.....it will come in a lump and you can stick it in the freezer and when you want some just cut off a lump and grate it...ok it does not look as pretty and clean as the stuff in box from tesco but it sures works good....

if your struggling to find a meat packing place - ask someone who you know that hunts, they most likely have a 'guy' who breaks down their animals for them....
