Last weekend I was watching a bit of Sabado Gigante and I saw an ad for Galaxy Supermarket. My guess was that any store advertising on Univision had to have a pretty good selection of products con sabor latino. Stopped and shopped there last night on my way home from work (it's on University, not much of a detour off my usual route down the Durham Freeway). Well worth it! Spices I've never even heard of -- and I like to think I'm at least vaguely familiar with at least the rough outlines of Mexican cooking (I've got cookbooks by Rick Bayless and Diana Kennedy); four kinds of chorizo, five kinds of crema. Alas, they didn't seem to have any fresh tortillas. Probably that was too much to hope for. But I was able to pick up banana leaves (which I'd expected to find) and naranjas agria (bitter oranges -- which was a definite surprise). The Galaxy chain seems to be a Lowe's offshoot. In addition to Mexican specialities, they have a lot of Caribbean and Brazilian items, like callaloo and dende palm oil (which is exactly as frightening looking as person as on TV)
