Got a hankering for rhubarb? Readers know where to find it

Rmay be allovertheplace— sometimes literally — in some parts of the country, but it’s a rare and wonderful thing in Southern Nevada, especially since the frozen version has all but disappeared from supermarkets. But readers found it for Barbara Wagner.

Helga Smith (who emailed, “There are not many things more refreshing on a hot summer day than homemade rhubarb compote, served chilled/ iced.”) has found it at Vons at 2667 E. Windmill Parkway in Henderson, and she and Eileen Hug found it at Smith’s at 2385 E. Windmill Lane — both sporadically,

Smith said. Penny Reese reported finding it at Albertsons at 5975 W. Tropicana Ave. Nancy A. Nolette said it’s available at Winco at 80 N. Stephanie St. in Henderson; there’s another Winco at 6101 N. Decatur Blvd.

I’ve found it at Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmers Market and some Smith’s stores. And Ann Brown has found the frozen version at Sprouts, though she said it’s “hit and miss.”

More on ribs: For readers looking for Tony Roma’s ribs, Joe Kennedy recommended the “excellent” ribs at Trader Joe’s.

Anita Kramer is looking for Concord Foods’ Apple Crisp mix, which she found at Smith’s.

David D. Werner is looking for Eckrich Cotto Salami.

Mike Miller is looking for a clam dip similar to Reser’s, which he used to get in Oregon.

And here’s a blast from the past: For years I kept the recipes from the old Alpine Village Inn on file, but as the number of queries dropped, I lost track of them. Loretta Eichelberger, who said she has the chicken soup recipe, wonders if any readers have the recipe for the gone-butnot-forgotten restaurant’s cottage cheese dip.
