Hunting the Slipper Lobster at Sea Breeze Fish Market in Bensonhurst

When we visit Australia (from New Zealand) I always try to engineer it so we visit an area that does Morton Bay Bugs and yes, they are a form of small lobster/large prawn (are they called shrimps in the US?) so must be of a similar ilk.

I adore them, hope you enjoyed yours, I love the recipe and must try it!

Shopping for Chorizo at Despana Market in Soho

Great review on a place I had not yet discovered. Another treasure house of gourmet goodness described in loving detail, so the next trip next trip to NYC by this out-of-towner will be made even more worthwhile.

Making Ktipiti from Greek Groceries at the International Grocery

It's WHERE?!?!?!?! Heavens when I visit I must check it out. I love baklava too. A meet and greet cat - heaven indeed.

I'm with tdiddy too - that cat obviously samples the merchandise far too often. Thanks for a spotlight on another of NYC's gems.

Getting Over My Fear of Little Italy at Alleva Dairy

Oh a lovely write up, life, food and history all in one breath! It's so atmospheric and I can almost smell the deli it looks so genuine. I can't wait to try the recipe! Thank you.

Fresh Cevapcici from the Adriatic Meat Market

Maybe the pronunciation depends on the regional accent - some of the accents here in New Zealand are just SO weird!! Obviously this guy is very proud of his stuff and, as usually, your reports made my mouth water. Oh to win enough money to visit NYC for a gourmet food crawl!!

Get Your Irish Up At the Butcher Block

Of course ginger snaps are ginger nuts :-)) made since time immemorial by the Ginger Nut Elves. (They are the ones with Very Strong Teeth).

Adore digestives though - this store is definitely in my books for my next US visit - the digestives in New Zealand are lame compared to these! and Black treacle a real standby for any self-respecting kitchen.

Noodling Around Hong Kong Supermarket
