I have a foodie friend in Melb. whom I met in this food group. She
cooks great Mexican and Indian food. There is a grocer in Swan St
Richmond but I cant remember the name of it. Up the city end on a
corner northside. They have alot of Mexican product. Check the yellow
pages. My friend is currently holidaying in India and will be back
early Feb, so keep an eye on this newsgroup and I will post more info.
I live on the Gold Coast, and will be visiting Melb, from 9th Feb. so
will be frequenting these places too to stock up, so perhaps we can
meet in Richmond one day. I always bring back a truckload of hard to
get food items. Gold Coast is a bit of wasteland in that department!!
Regards, sorry I cant be more specific.

eBay? :-)

What are you looking for?

I'm not sure about the legalities, but I could
look into shipping you some.

Stuff like this is widely available in Texas.

Same goes for Mesquite chips, the _ultimate_ in BBQ experiences! :-d

A quick Google search found this place in Tullamarine. Not sure where in
Melbourne you are, but looks like you can order via the website.

You'd probably have better luck if you spelled it chiles, not chilis. Chili
is a thick tex-mex stew from Texas. Chiles are peppers.

Ask Rhonda. :-) The Aussies are quite particular about what comes into
their country. She'll know.

Don't know about Melbourne but Im sure ZIGGYS of Sydney can mail or deliver
whatever you want.This great fine food store and deli is probably the best
outside of Europe that you will ever see.
I could not believe the variety and quality of their products esp
smallgoods.
Their ham and prosciutto are extraordinary.

I am not from Oz however many Mexican food ingredients can be found at Asian
markets. As example Chinese Parsley = Cilantro.

Good Luck,

Dimitri

Check out the conditions here -
http://www.aqis.gov.au/icon32/asp/ex_querycontent.asp

Enter dried capsicum in the search field, and a case titled Capsicum
spp. Dried will come up. This is the relevant one.

Unofficially - they should be commercially prepared and packaged, and
correctly declared, and we will inspect them for contamination/insect
infestation (we do see a lot of insect infested foodstuffs, particularly
if sent surface mail - eggs have a chance to hatch in transit). If they
pass inspection they'll be released back to the mail for delivery.

I'm pretty sure the OP should be able to find a variety of dried chilis
here, though.

In any case, the point still remains that he'd probably have better luck
trying find what he wants spelling it chile rather than chili.

Nope. Chile is a country in South America. To the OP, try a good
delicetesan (sp?) My brother likes exotic spices and our local deli
orders him in some specially. I don't know if anyone else buys them,
but he gets a regular supply of cherumboula, African spices etc, and
we got some rather exotic ground chilis from them too.

The actual supplier is 'Herbies', based in NSW and they have a website
listed on the packets. Try http://www.herbies.com.au/ It seems you can
do mailorder anywhere within Australia

Hi there - I'm in New Zealand, where we can get any number of
Australian products both fresh and dried.

I use Master Foods chili flakes in many dishes with great success. I
am sure you can get this in any Melbourne supermarket.

Good cooking.
