Where have all the goat horn peppers in oil gone?
HEY’RE just like my grandmother’s,” Joan O’connell said of Batampte Half Sour Pickles, and there aren’t many tributes higher than that. For Fred Nagy, who’s looking for the pickles, O’connell and Gerry Kulz found them in the Kosher Experience section at Smith’s at 2211 N. Rampart Blvd. And Sandy Woolf found them at Glazier’s Food Marketplace at 8525 W. Warm Springs Road.
For Hazel Kaye, who’s looking for Postum, Darlene Donoghue-anekwe recommended Rainbow’s End Natural Foods at 1100 E. Sahara Ave.; a call to the store found they carry a similar product.
For William Anderson, who’s looking for a restaurant, preferably in Henderson, that serves fresh, not frozen, onion rings in a light tempura-like batter, Sharlene Neely recommended the Boulder Dam Brewing Co. in Boulder City.
For Michael Frias, who’s looking for a restaurant that serves Swiss steak, Ann Brown recommended the Coronado Cafe at the South
Point, where she said it’s a special on Wednesdays.
And for Paul Gary, who’s looking for “big, round knishes they don’t fly in from New Jersey” from a source other than Bagel Cafe, Weiss Restaurant Deli Bakery or Glazier’s, Marty Auerbach recommended the Kosher Experience at Smith’s, although he said the knishes there are square.
