I'll take that bet, at least here in CT. We don't have those stores in or
area. Stop & Shop, Price Chopper, two different Whole Foods, and a couple
of others do not carry it. I have to go to the Mediterranean Market in
Worcester for it.

Whole Foods didn't have it? I've never been to a Stop-n-Shop or Price
Chopper so I don't know what to compare them to. My local Italian Grocer
carries two brands, though, so maybe a deli near you might?

The deli near me is the one that is 30 miles away. Our local supermarkets
carry things like chicken, ground beef, and Wonder bread. Anything more
exotic is 30 miles north or 30 miles east or 45 miles west. And well worth
the trip.

This is one of the places I go

Rye bread from here

Italian foods here

People that live in big city areas don't comprehend what small town New
England is like. When I lived in Philly, there were three Italian bakeries
in walking distance. The Polish bakery was about 4 miles. Nothing like
that near me.
