The first time I went to Penzy's was in Milwaukee in 1981. It was *wonderful*.
I think it was their first store. In fact, it was so wonderful that I continue to
patronize them in their new incarnations, even though they are kind of
expensive.

As for shopping at ethnic places for spices, that's fine if a) you are
comfortable with the quality and b) you know enough to know where
and what to look for. Penzy's collects it all for you so you don't have
to spend your life learning about spices.

I agree that the OP was trolling, but if it weren't for trolls there wouldn't
be many threads.
