Wanting rhubarb pie, and readers respond
RHUBARB pie! That’s the best way to use the tart stalks of this perennial plant, and it’s worthy of a celebration. Frozen rhubarb has disappeared from local stores, although fresh can sometimes be found at this time of year at Sprouts Farmers Markets, Whole Foods Markets and some Smith’s stores.
But I digress. Michael Struble is looking for rhubarb pie, and his fellow Taste of the Town readers have a number of suggestions. Sharon and Greg Griffith, Judy Baker, Ann Brown and Barry Abidor recommended Marie Callender’s, which has four locations in the valley. And Kara Hierro of Glazier’s Food Marketplace at 8525 W. Warm Springs Road said the store carries strawberry-rhubarb pie.
For Aurora Gandara, who’s looking for Munchee cheese, which she used to get at Smith’s, Josh Kunis and Brown emailed that they still find it in the deli at Smith’s at 10120 W. Tropicana Ave. And Hierro said Glazier’s carries it as well.
For Bob Rush, who’s looking for a broad variety of bread machine mixes, Joyce Winters recommended www.kingarthurflour.com (800-8276836), and Al Garth recommended www.preparedpantry.com (208-7457892).
