Yeah, I always used Conimex. Haven't looked for it recently.
Pricy Cardullo's used to stock a good amount of Conimex products,
but they may just have a few dregs now. I gather from what you
say that I am in for an unpleasant surprise when I next need
powdered laos (etc.).

Have we gone in different directions here? Yes, I most recently
was speaking of soup buns.

Oh :-( I guess they either weren't interested even though they
acted like they were, or they later rejected that idea.

Guess I will end up exploring Malden--or I will just go back to
the one near BU.

BTW, have you explored Kam Man in Quincy?

Oh yes, also, I didn't see any Sichuan peppercorns in Methuen last
Sunday. I am somewhat concerned that this store had virtually no
one in it when I was there--and they seem to have more open
space.... It is a very good store, and I would hate to see it close.
