I am currently living in a place where shallots are difficult to find (and
quite expensive when one can find them). I prefer to use shallots rather
than onions in things like chicken/tuna salad sandwiches, pico de gallo,
guacamole, etc. so I'm wondering if freeze-dried shallots might be a good
substitute for fresh shallots. I don't expect them to have as much flavour
as fresh, but do they at least have some flavour? Or are they a complete
waste of money? Anyone with experience using these things?
