Readers seeking a variety of their favorite flavors

Asteady supply of doughnuts and pizza has passed through the Review-journal newsroom in the past week or so, and I suspect similar scenarios in homes and businesses across the valley as we seek comfort foods in a stressful time.

Taste of the Town has always been about comfort foods, so this week I’m dedicating it to requests, to help more readers find those old favorites.

Donna Alper is looking for chicken fat, which she used to get at Harrie’s Bagelmania.

Ronnie Johnson is looking for a place that serves smoked spare ribs.

Mary Bustos is looking for cube steaks.

Ernie Lopez is looking for lilikoi pie. Tami Weiner is looking for Libby’s canned beef tongue.

Eva Streeter is looking for dried beef. Shirley Colucci is looking for a supermarket that sells red clam sauce, which she used to get at Glazier’s Food Marketplace.

And Harvey Allen is looking for reader suggestions for kosher-style pickled green tomatoes, and “a good chopped liver sandwich that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.”
