Feuilles de brick in Seattle?
Anyone know where I could by this? They are thin Moroccan or Tunisian pancakes. I tried the Souk in P Market and the Pakistani/Indian grocery at 125th and Roosevelt. No luck.
are ramps (wild leeks) around yet?
I live outside Seattle but I want get some ramps the next time I'm in town. Has anyone seen them yet? I know they'll be at Sosio's , Uwajimaya and the farmer's makets.

La Cucina Italiana magazine US vs. Italy?
I can only manage to pick up the Italian version of La Cucina Italiana every few months (I live in a small town). I love the mag and it gives me a chance to TRY to practice may weak italian abilities. I've broken down and gotten a subscription to the US version.
So my question: has anyone looked at both versions and are any of the recipes the same? I haven't seen the Italian version in a few months, but it seems that not only do they come out every month (the US version only 6 times a year), but they have twice as many recipes as the US version.
Buy ramps in Seattle?
I live outside Seattle and visit occasionally. Do any places sell ramps (wild leeks) when they are in season?
Seattle.... where to find curry sushi?
janedoe67, thanks.
GreenYoshi, it's all three. I've never had it, that's why I'm looking for it. Apparently it started in Singapore as a local variation in Japanese restaurants. I've seen a photo of a piece of nigirizushi topped with a piece of fish covered with a spicy red sauce. The other was makizushi with some sort of spicy ingredients and mango in the center.
Not include egg in baked goods?
There are WWII/depression era recipes that don't call for eggs or fats. They work fine, but they dry out and become stale tasting faster. The no egg/fat recipes taste great when eaten immediately, or within a couple hours.
Seattle.... pre-packaged onigiri
Thanks terrier and chazuke. I'll make sure to get there early.
Where to buy fresh lavender and nettles in Seattle?
I have a little nettle patch in my yard. They are growing like mad right now. I've seen them start poking up in early February before. Most people say eat them at 4-6 inches and the tops up to 12 inches. Personally, I keep snipping the tops and upper leaves until June or when the bugs start eating them.
Seattle.... where to find curry sushi?
I've been reading about spicy curry sushi becoming popular in the Pacific Islands. Are there any places that serve curry sushi in the Seattle area?
Seattle.... pre-packaged onigiri
JackNH understands. I'm not really asking where to find sushi. I have this guilty pleasure in eating food oddities and fast food from different cultures. The pre-packaged onigiri is the equivalent of a hot dog from 7-Eleven. I know it sounds crazy, but I like to try things like this to get an idea of the full range of food from a particular culture.
I actually came across a photo of one in someone's food blog archive. It was posted in someone's comment, so I couldn't ask about it. I could clearly see the name Uwajimaya printed on the grocery store type label. I'll just try again there, or go to Japan.
shopping for bottarga in Seattle - Italian imports
Thanks for the info. I live on the peninsula and only make it to DeLaurenti's a few times a year. The production date on my recent mail order batch is August. I guess that means it's more available autumn/winter (duh). I'll know better next time.
Seattle.... pre-packaged onigiri
Hi, my latest food quest it to try pre-packaged onigiri. Not nice onigiri from a sushi place. Not chinese glutinous rice balls wrapped in banana leaves. A machine made, combini style triangular onigiri with a high-tech plastic wrapper. What can I say, sometimes I like to try very ordinary foods to reset my standards. I've only really looked at Uwajimaya a couple times and didn't find any. Maybe they were out that day (both times were Saturday afternoon). Actually, I also looked at 99 Ranch grocery store in Edmonds, and a couple of the larger neighborhood grocery stores in the ID, no luck. Maybe somewhere at The Great Wall?
I'm from out of town, so I'd prefer an actual sighting so I don't get lost.
Thanks
shopping for bottarga in Seattle - Italian imports
Hi, new here. Does anyone know where I might find bottarga (salted fish roe, whole) in the Seattle area? Tried Delaurenti's last year. I talked to a manager type who 1) acted like no one had ever asked before, and 2) acted glad that somebody asked. He took my info and said he'd send me a note the next time they made an order. When I got the email, he said they could only get the grated stuff in a jar at a price much higher than what I could get online, so I passed (and got it online).
So, are there any Mediterranean import type stores that might carry bottarga/boutargue in Settle? I haven't been to Salumi, do they have much importy stuff besides their usual cured meats? I think I checked Pacific Food Importers, but no luck.
