Hi Anahita.  Yup, things have been dead as a doornail on the list for a few
days already.  It looks like folks can only talk so much about
Ever(something) on a food list before it just fizzles out.

I don't know that I have seen cracked barley for sale either.  My first
thought was that I *had* seen it sold as a breakfast mush food and I have
been trying to pin down why I think that.  Can't come up with a good visual
though, so I may be wrong, but it seems it was one of those imported pricey
things.  I would certainly be easy enough to do your own.  If you have a
good grain morter/pestle, or perhaps even in a food processer.
