I’ve discovered queso frenco for my salad (picked it up in Aldi’s which has good cold items like Spanish bacon and Lebanon salami) and ricotta salata for Pasta Alla Norma.
My southern real estate agent just gave me a recipe for a Butterfinger Cake which, like most southern recipes, is very sweet. But I had never heard of it before. If he sells me a house, I’ll be making him the best banana pudding. I have gotten tired of eating bad ones on the road.
Aldi’s. Their packaged German Oktoberfest salami. Is very tasty, thin sliced, and nice price. When available.
I love Aldi! It’s an odd little store, but has some very unique items; and sometimes American things that we can never find in other stores in near driving distance. I especially love it at Christmas time, with all the pretty holiday candies.
