What are you favorite food gifts to give or recieve?

[Guest guest]

I love to give exotic condiments that people might not be familiar

with. A small basket of vingegars: Greek Honey Vinegar, Lebanese Date

Vinegar, Balsamic Vinegar Syrup, a Mexican Vingegar with a pepper in

it, and a pretty Rose Champagne Vinegar from the Camargue. Or flavored

oils, or mustards.

 

I love to get spices and spice mixes. The more unusal the better:

pepper from Samarkand, garam marsala from Bangladesh, etc. I love the

spice blends; each sniff is someplace to visit in my dreams.

Chupa,

 

Since giving up oil, I've become something of a vinegar afficianado -- I

enjoy using them to make oil-free salad dressings. (In particular my

favorite was Mollie Stones Fig Balsamic but it is no longer being made.)

 

I recently bought quite a few Cuisine Perel vinegars - I enjoy Blood

Orange and D'Anjou Pear. But none of these that you listed are familiar

to me. Do you have good vinegar sources?

 

Thanks,

 

Sharon
