That's a funny question, because my sister just sent my some food from their store in Atlanta. She sent me some agave plant sweetener, almonds, and some chips. I've only tried the chips so far and I really liked them--it was a veggie and flax seed chip, with carrot and tomato, spinach and onion, and some other flavors. Definitely recommend them--great plain, and they're probably better with some type of black bean dip or salsa!

Barring being in Hawaii and getting fresh-made mochi ice cream, I buy them there when the craving hits. They are available at a number of places here but, for whatever reason, I trust their transportation process. :P

Because their prices are so cheap, we buy with consistency their lightly salted frozen edamame in shell, pistachio meat, tamales, and sour dough bread.

During the holidays, we buy a butt ton of candy cane Joe-Joe's, and an assortment of snacks in cute tins to augment everyone's gifts.

We used to buy their thinly sliced beef for sukiyaki, but the last time we got it, it was nearly rotten, so we have been buying large cuts of meat at the butcher, partially freezing, and then cutting them on our own.

TJ's freeze dried fruit is great -- the mangosteen, rambutan, pineapple & mango are all fantastic, delicious & nutritious.

Shucker's Restaurant & Bar in Fell's Point.

And while you're at it (if you can afford a couple of hundred bucks per night) put yourself up at the Admiral Fell Inn.

An experience that you will NEVER forget.

Oh lucky you! The BEST fried calamari and crab cakes I've EVER tasted was at the Timbuktu restaurant. It's not fancy but the food is out of this world. Think about me and how I envy you when you eat there!

You're from NY, right? Skip Vaccaro's (Veniero's is better!) and instead go to Piedigrotta - I haven't been yet, but as 22209 mentioned, supposedly the guy who owns it invented tiramisu. See for yourself if you think he did!

I started with Pamela Anderson's book called Perfect Recipes - it was by far the most unintimidating recipe for bead ever. She strips the recipe down to just the basics. I used that recipe, combined it with what I learned from No Knead and The Bread Bible and came up with this:

the chile cheese tamaleas are so good but they never have them.

Dried mango with chili powder - so sweet and spicy and tender, not leathery. Yum.
Greek yogurt - prefer Fage to the house brand.
Frozen Prig Khing Green Beans (in tamarind sauce); to die for, currently unavailable but I am assured they are looking for a new supplier.
Organic firm tofu is really good; the non-organic firm tofu not so good.
Cheap and yummy red bell peppers; sweet 100 tomatoes; avocados; begged spinach and rocket . . .
Feta cheese - the one in the yellow and green packet, don't get the cheapest kind they have.
Sesame pita - these freeze really well.
Mochi ice cream - not a TJ brand, but cheaper than it is elsewhere, though the selection at TJ can be limited. Green tea flavor is the best.
Frozen chile cheese tamales.
Frozen chicken chili is gooood.
Frozen edamame.

Disappointments:
Their house brand virgin olive oil.

I like the Trader Giotto's beverages, and the various flavors of Pistachi Nuts.

store-brand dark chocolate is excellent. A well-known food writer once told me it's made by Valhrona (sp?). Can't confirm that, but it is great and comparatively cheap.

Frozen Fruit bars---called Fruit Floes---lime, passion fruit and strwberry. Best on the market

oh yes! The tomato soup that comes in a carton...I think it's called Creamy Organic Tomato Soup. the best! (still needs Ritz crackers and Ritz crackers only! And a grilled cheese sandwich to go with) For coffee, if you like rich, dark coffee, the Italian Roast (a black canister with red and green graphics/text) is my favorite.
