I have a recipe for duck and pomegranite soup which sounds great, but calls for a 'tablespoon of tamari'. Is that short hand for tamarind or something? It says I'll need to by it in a delicatessen...but I don't know what it is:blush:
 
It's soy sauce. A bit mellower than the regular kind. You can find it at most large supermarkets and at Whole Foods and TJs.
 
Oh wow, thank you! Gosh, that really changes the rest of the nature of the soup, but sounds wonderful!

If I can't find Tamari, er, tomorrow (love the joke too!) I'll try it with soy sauce. Thank you very much!
 
OK, so really embarrassingly it turns out I already had some in my larder ...at some point i must have liked the idea of the wheat free soy then forgotton all about it and what it was!
