I have been buying “Better Than Bouillon” at Costco’s for a few years. I have found it in their stores in Hawai’i and in Iowa, so I guess it is a staple on their shelves. I never realized it could be difficult to find it. I forgot what other products taste like since I have been using it for the past four years. I am enjoying your blog site..thanks for sharing. Mahalo Pono!

MM I have 120 Thai limes that sprouted from seed, about a foot tall now & will be moved to soil. Will let you know when they bear fruit. For now I’m also searching for a Dayap supplier. If anyone is selling please contact me. Thanks! 09177392367

Ruth, thanks for additional info.
The Hickory Farms product are from their franchised restaurant; they are smoked at the site, so I will have to pack them myself. My vacuum sealer I left it in Pinas, and I used them to seal dried kalamias which I bring back here to Texas.

@EbbaBlue: I am not sure about the crawfish because they are highly persihable. If some delays happen and they thaw, they may stink your luggage. The meats( briskets) I sent home were smoked in my backyard smoker then portioned in containers, ziplocked, wrapped in newspapers then frozen. The ribs were vacuum packed frozen same as the homemade langgonisa. If you will bring HIckory farms products, no need to freeze.

Finding out about new products, produce, and vendors is really one of my favorite things about your site :) I’ve spotted 00 flour in Rustans too sometimes, although not De Cecco…

Love Bacchus Epicerie!! Also a great source of Valrhona chocolates and nice hefty oxtail :)

@EbbaBlue, I don’t see any problem bringing your food products home to Pinas. Basta pa-simple lang. Just check everything in. My sister just went home to the Phil from visiting me here in Texas and we literally checked in a cooler(placed inside a big box) with 50 lbs of frozen smoked brisket, frozen smoked turkey breasts, beef ribs, my homemade langgonisa, and about 10 doz. of corn and flour tortillas. All the meats were still frozen when they got home. Pag nag- declare ka sa customs, just specify as cooked foods.
