Serious Eats: LovesBrian12's Profile

There is really a lot to try in this store. The problem is I live far so I can't go that often. There are online websites that have some of their products such as www.gourmetnut.com but its not the same as going there.

Find the Classic Bay Ridge at Nordic Delicacies

The Chinese-Norwegian restaurant was originally Fredheim's (or maybe no "i" - Fredhjem? as in home? - not quite sure)- going back to the 1930's at least. My Mom waitressed there and met my Dad there - a Swede. I ate there a number of times growing up in the 50's & 60's and went back in the 80's with my elderly Mom when it was both - the previous Norwegian proprieter taught the Chinese cooks how to do panakakke, kompa, all the rest - and they did it superbly. Sorry to hear it is gone.

Getting Over My Fear of Little Italy at Alleva Dairy

@Barbara -

No worries. My apologies for being so jumpy. I can't seem to shake my overprotection of my beloved Jersey Shore!

All that said. you may appreciate my review of Max's - one of my favorite eating establishments ever...

Stuffing Peppadews from Sahadi's Importing Company

@krsmav: Thanks for the tips. Will try the Bulgarian feta and the olive oil on my next trip. Sahadi's is endlessly explorable!

I love peppadews. Nice recipe to make my own. I can almost smell and feel the store from your writing - thanks!!

Stuffing Peppadews from Sahadi's Importing Company

Some items I get every time:

Kalamata olives, black and green

Bulgarian feta (impossibly rich and barely crumbles)

B.R. Cohn olive oil (insanely good and not as expensive here as elsewhere - non-organic is better than organic - too good to use for anything but bread dipping)

onion ficelles

halava

pistachios (they always offer a discount on 3 pound bags, and they correctly say that the American ones are better than the Turkish)

Stuffing Peppadews from Sahadi's Importing Company

Sahadi's olives are superb and cheap. Sahadi's dried fruits and nuts are superb and cheap. Sahadi's coffees are superb and cheap. Sahadi's hummus, tabbouleh, babaganoush and other prepared foods are superb and cheap. Need I say more. Usually I eat the peppadews solo, but the recipes are enticing and will definitely try.
