I ran across this site when researching Espazote. I belong to a few forums where people don't seem to be nearly as pleasant as the posts I've seen here.
I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and have some knowledge of Brooklyn's 'cuisine' (circa 1950's), spent two years in the Livorno area of Italy, and have spent some time in Switzerland and Germany. I'm somewhat acquainted with Slovakian and Hungarian foods and really get a kick out of the variety of foods available from the Russian community in Brighton Beach , Brooklyn. I was glad to see favorable mention of Penzeys on this forum but am concerned that their expanded presence at satellite stores will somehow negatively affect their business.
Sorry if I rambled on too much. Am looking forward to going through this forum's posts in great detail. If I'm lucky I'll be able to get the skinny on how to make Laugenwecken!
