Wow! Great initial price, but the cost of shipping would be too much.
I can get them for a very reasonable price at one of my regular dining
spots.

Maybe it's still easily available there. I dunno.

Actually, it's good that I can't get them because it's one of those

they were something I made well at home, it would spoil the dining out
experience for me.
