I can find several Web sources for things like bomba rice and Serrano ham,
but can't help but wonder if there isn't a source nearby. YP is of
no help at all these days.

In general, how does one find local sources of specialty ingredients?

TIA

Serrano ham is getting easier and easier to find in even middle-of-the-road
delicatessens.

In NoCal, I haven't noticed Serrano ham - certainly it's not
in abundance to date. We seem to have a lot of Black Forest
ham up here.



Practice safe eating - always use condiments

The Spanish Table (http://www.tablespan.com/) lists a store in Berkeley.

I visited Bristol Farms in Newport Beach today. Thed had Seranno ham and
Manchego cheese,
but no Bomba rice, no pimenton, no Saichichon. The things they did have
were about 10% higher than the prices at http://www.tienda.com/. I expect
the shipping charges
will wipe out the savings of online ordering, but the convenience of
ordering
everything form one place is attractive, so that's where I'm leaning. Yet, I
still
have the feeling that there is some marvelous, little shop 10 miles away
with all these goodies.

sf, I live in Sacramento and ALWAYS make a point of going to The
Spanish Table when I'm anywhere near the wilds of Berkeley. It's a
great store. You can get all the good stuff the serrano ham,
manchego cheese, membrillo, good smoked Spanish paprika, and olive
oils and just everything. Gorgeous paella pans, but I still haven't
managed to save enough $$$ to buy one <G>. You should go there
sometime!
