I'm almost out. Has anyone seen them on sale in DC, or anywhere else in the US? Thanks, Jeremy Thu Aug 26 21:41:43 -0700 2004 0 Jeremy M 1 921696 Hey, JM, does this mean that you and yours are comin' back to DC? Thu Aug 26 23:43:17 -0700 2004 921690 0 Marty L. 2 921697 Alas, no. We are in LA for the long haul, but I get back to DC for work about once a month and I know that Joe H and others have an eye for such products.

If none of those pan out, after you return home you can check at Bay Cities Imports on Lincoln and Broadway in Santa Monica--they may be able to get it for you if they don't carry it. There's another Italian store (?Sorrento) on Sepulveda near Playa around the Westchester/Culver City line that has tons of stuff.

Considering that one brand of whole Calabrian peppers sell for ten Euros in Italy at the AutoGrills I'd be scared of what they might cost here. Addictive aren't they? Safeway sells a hot pepper in some of their stores made by DeLallo called Wild Italian Hot Peppers that are seriously good. Also, the "Hot Giardiniera" from Tenuta's in Kenosha, WI are fantastic, maybe even better than the Calabrian peppers. Their "sport peppers" are really good, too. I've linked their website below. Finally, a former cab driver in Seattle used to sell hot peppers out of his cab and eventually he started making more money selling peppers than driving people so he went into business. Whole Foods used to sell his peppers here but, for the most part, has stopped. You can buy them off of the internet. They're called "Mama Lil's Pickled Hot Hungarian Goathorn Peppers." They have a GREAT website: http://www.mamalils.com/about.html If you'd like to discuss this we should move to the General board and see if anyone else have tried any of these. Good luck!
