Specific sweet relish found in various markets

Ohandy but now hard-to-find items often turn up in the most unexpected places. For Rex Strong, John Fellows emailed that Del Monte sweet pickle relish should be available in most Filipino markets; he suggested Island Pacific Seafood Market at 8650 W. Tropicana Ave., and there’s another location at 467 E. Silverado Ranch Blvd. Marie Leavitt reported finding it at Walmart and said she has ordered it online at mybrands.com. Phyllis Hendrickson said it’s available at Smart & Final at 8485 W. Sahara Ave., and John Bradley found it at Smart & Final at 4439 W. Charleston Blvd.

More on Polly-o: Sue Bognaski recommended Rocco’s NY Italian Deli at 1181 S. Buffalo Drive; a call confirmed that it carries the ricotta.
