Near me, there's a store that specializes in foods from the South
Pacific*. I mainly go there to buy New Zealand lamb, which we prefer,
and to look in the aisles for foods I've never tried. During my mom's
visit, I made sure to take her to check it out -- she and I share the
love of interesting foods, and the thrill of a bargain. (The New Zealand
store has lamb for $2.10 a pound. Around here, you really can't beat that.)

We bought:

* Goat chops
* Lamb chops
* Frozen mussels (no shells -- they also had mussels in the shell, but
my mom calculated that she got more for her money this way. ;-)
* Cheesy poofs from Fiji whose name I've forgotten (they had a big "O"
on the packaging and were shaped like little hoops)
* A Cadbury Crunchie bar from Australia
* Some mixes from India (Idli, Jilebi, and Dosai (which came with a free
packet of sambhar mix)

I really want to make goat curry with some of the goat meat, and I'll
certainly cook at least some of the lamb chops simply, with garlic and
maybe a little mint salt, but I'm also looking for suggestions for all
the meats.

humourless feminists who are not afraid to throw rape around as an
example, your theory needs work." -- Aqua, alt.polyamory
