You can't just go to the grocery store and _buy_ guacamole, can you...?

I think so... but would you really want to?

[kellan_the_tabby]

Well, I didn't see any...though I might not have been looking in the right place.

And, I love the stuff. I'm assuming I can have your share too? :)

[nazrynn.livejournal.com]

I don't mind guac, but it's not my fave thing in the world. Given the choice of nacho toppings, I prefer cheese, black beans, refried beans, meat/chix, and certain southwest spices.

Go ahead and take my share. ;)
PS - have you tried looking in the specialty foods aisle?

[kellan_the_tabby]

I tried in the Mexican food, in the various coolers, and in the aisle with the chips and dips. Most of the 'international' food is in with the Mexican stuff, more or less, and I couldn't think of anywhere else...

I did, however, buy two avocados. I'll get some fresh cilantro tomorrow, and I'll be set. :)

Look in the refrigerated section where they keep sour cream, and onion dip, and so on. At least, that's where it usually is down here. You can sometimes find something that's a little higher up the scale to reality in frozen foods — but then you have to wait for it to thaw. If you don't have a restaurant you can get takeout from, making your own really is your best option.

[kellan_the_tabby]

That's one of the places I checked. :P

I thought of takeout, but it was sort of almost eleven, and you know...

[mariedeblois.livejournal.com]

Well, I can buy it here. But I'm in a 3rd world state.

[kellan_the_tabby]

Somehow that makes sense, though. I live in the Land of Bland Food, I'm afraid...

[mariedeblois.livejournal.com]

But you can get all those East Coast things I can't.

[kellan_the_tabby]

Whatcha want? We got UPS and coolers... :)

[zachkessin.livejournal.com]

I can buy it (or at least something pretty close) at the supermarket here or in the Shuk, along with lots of other related things (Eggplant salads of several forms, hummus, etc). We have a great salad guy in the shuk in Jerusalem.

We also get the world's best Pita :)

[kellan_the_tabby]

Okay, but dude, it's a bit of a walk to the store over there from here...

Man, I'm just in the worst place for food that ain't cheesesteaks.

[zachkessin.livejournal.com]

I will admit that cheesesteaks are one of the few really non kosher foods that I miss from the old days. I keep thinking about trying to fake it with mushrooms marinated in a steak sauce and grilled.

[kellan_the_tabby]

Yeah, 'cos there's really no way, is there...?

Cheeseburgers, I could give up. Cheesesteaks would be tough.

[mariedeblois.livejournal.com]

ARGH. Now I'm hungry for REAL cheesesteaks! [shakes the fist]

Or, you could visit.

Trader Joe's has it. Pretty good, too. I don't remember where you live, though.

[kellan_the_tabby]

I think the closest Trader Joe's is Philly-ish, probably an hour or so away...but I've been meaning to go there anyway...

There's a Trader Joe's in Jersey that's not too far

[maziemaus.livejournal.com]

I'll find out exactly where when my friends come back from their X-country trip. Can we organize an expedition? I've never been and I hear it's very cool.

In other food supply news, there's this place which is billed as The Most Amazing Food Store in the World by the guy who writes the chowhound blog. It's International Food Warehouse (370 Essex St, Lodi, NJ; 201-368-9511). You can read the write up on it at http://www.chowhound.com/dinner/dinner.html

After his description I'd want to go see it even if I was fasting.

Sunds like fun to me. We've got France; let me know when you've got the info...
