I have a plentitude of ethnic grocery stores.  I can get galingale (powdered or 
frozen), amydon, Ceylon cinnamon, rosewater, cheap saffron, quail eggs, 
frozen green fava beans, gourds, pomegranate molasses, live eels, quince 
paste, and almond oil.  I cannot get verjus/sour grape juice.  It's all the more 
frustrating because I *can* get almost everything else under the sun.
