Chocolate Gift Guide

Just bought two boxes (1300g ea. - not quite 46 oz.)
Item: Lauenstein Gift Box , Article No. 0135, Euro 49.50 ea./ $65,34
During this time of year they offered free shipping in Germany for purchases over Euro 50.00. I took advantage of this having it send to friends ( US MIL. ) stationed there, and they in turn send "US postage" paid the two boxes (US$ 9.50) to me. ( I do not know what shipping 'Lauenstein' would charge
I have bought their products since 1987 every year at Christmas.

I agree with you, Jack. Cibao's Cuban is solid. I can't believe Cibao hasn't been forced out by the landlord.

Cibao on Clinton @ Rivington is solid.

Up by the Columbia University Medical Center in Washington Heights there is a deli that makes the best Cuban sandwich I've had by far, although I have not yet made it to the Spotted Pig. They assemble it to order and it is consistently good. I can usually only eat half, and then I have to take a nap. The sandwich is called Tony's Cuba East and can be had at the Tasty Deli.

I've never met a Cubano that wasn't already made - just had to be pressed & heated.
Try Gena's Grill, 210 1st Ave. (12/13 St.) The best I've had - moist and really garlicky!!!

I've had astoundingly good ones at Los Primos on Grand St. near Graham Ave. in Williamsburg. It can be inconsistent, but when it's on, it's on. And, at $3.75, you can afford a clunker every once in a while.

Question of the Day: Chinese dumplings—steamed or fried?

Hey Adam, you may read that particular post here.

I also linked it up that photo, too for the other curious minds. Any questions, just post it on my blog.

Yeah. I did link to her Flickr of it, but I was hoping she had an in-depth write-up on Wandering Eater. I like the soup dumplings the most. I finally learned how to eat them like a pro (or at least a serious amateur).

I'm with Megnut on the soup dumplings, but if I can't have xiao long bao then I'm going to have my dumplings fried! My second favorite dumplings are actually gyoza, which are both fried and steamed.

Adam, I think you linked to tina.w's Flickr photo of cha sui sou earlier.

@tina.w: I looked for a write-up of the cha siu sou on your blog to link to but couldn't find it. Just not that notable or am I not searching correctly?
