Where to buy fresh wasabi?
Been looking for fresh wasabi for a while-- the whole wasabi root, not the reconstituted powder horseradish stuff you typically get at sushi restaurants or the grocery store. Been to a few japanese groceries in town but came up empty.
Only lead I have right now is a place that sells the plant on-line-- the catch is that you have to grow it for 3 years!
Anybody gotten their hands on this rarity in Boston?
Looking for capicolo sandwich and best italian deli
In Providence, on the hill, there is a popular Italian grocery and deli called Costantino's Venda Ravioli-- they have a rather large deli counter and will make you a sandwich with any of the dozens of deli meats that they sell. In particular, I love capicolo (salt-cured pork, called gabigol by sicilians) with some tomato and mozzerella. I used to go there every few weeks for some groceries and a sandwich when my girlfriend lived in Providence, but now she doesn't and I can't really justify driving an hour just for lunch :|
Any hounds have a rec for someting similar in Boston? I guess I could just walk down Hanover street until I find it, but it's raining, so I'd like to know where I'm going.
