SC - DFW food sources

[Helen]

Today I went To Whole foods on Coit.  I saw favas, sandalwood, cultured butter.
At the big oriental market in arlington I saw frozen eels and long beans.  Today,
I also got that german distilled honey drink we talked about a while ago on the
list and some Chaucer's mead.
