I just opened the garlic spread we bought at Holy Land. Holy garlic, Batman! This stuff is not nearly a subtle or creamy as the stuff at Med. Cruise. However, it's yummy! Very garlicky, though, so it's best to eat at the end of the day when you know you won't be meeting anyone but family :-). I ate some on Ryvita sesame crackers. Very good combo!
My mother said their tabbouleh was also very good but I have not tried it, yet.

Thanks for the report. I'm thinking I'll knock on the Mediterranean Cruise's door if I want some -- they're a lot closer than Holy Land. Is the tabbouleh ready-made? And still edible after a couple weeks? Eeeww! -- -Barb, <www.jamlady.eboard.com> updated 3-13-04. Rec.food.cooking's Preserved Fruit Administrator (I've got the button to prove it!)

Ready-made but not from the deli where they scoop it out for you. We got it from the dairy case where all the cheese and yoghurt are kept. Did I mention they sell the stuff at Whole Foods, too? It's just a little more expensive there.

I still haven't tried it, but my mother says, "Yes!" The tabbouleh was packed in a sealed-at-the-factory container so that may have contributed to its longevity. Plus we kept it on ice the ride back, and then it went straight to the fridge. Of course, IIRC you were there when she discussed her stance on expiry dates :-).

Have you or your mom ever made it? Pretty easy. Too bad The Tabbouleh Princess isn't posting. . . . -- -Barb, <www.jamlady.eboard.com> updated 3-13-04.

The Wedge carries a full complement of Holy Land sauces in the southeast corner of the store. I haven't priced between the two stores, but I'd guess they'd be slightly more expensive than Holy Land. For me it's a difference between a five minute drive or a twenty minute drive.

Heh! I'll check at my co-op (Valley Natural Foods in B'ville). A 10-minute drive vs. a 15-minute drive to the Mediterranean Cruise. :-) Thanks for the reminder/suggestion, Brian. -- -Barb, <www.jamlady.eboard.com> updated 3-13-04.
