  1. Pretty cool I have MegaChef & Son fish sauce (a newish brand that is similar to Red Boat). Now I am curious to try a Korean style fish sauce!

  2. I would say try a gluten free flour blend. This website reviewed some available in Australia. https://champagneandgumboots.com.au/blogs/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-flour-australia

     

    If you are interested in exploring alternative grains, there is a growing market for them it's worth checking out the book Mother Grains by Roxana Jullapot, who has an excellent bakeshop here in Los Angeles. The book focuses on the most commonly found whole grains. Though not necessarily gluten free

  3. Rana means Frog in Spanish and the below is all I can think of when I see that name 

     

    Sana, sana colita de rana! (something my mother would say in Spanish when I got a bump or bruise as a kid lol)  basically means heal, heal little frogs tail. Not sure I could buy Frog pasta.

  4. I don't really use anything of the dried herbs or spices that might be problematic but even if I did this seems alarmist due to the minute amount most people consume. If I was a parent I'd look more into the lead claims because that is pretty serious but I find it hard to believe the FDA allows lead to be sprinkled into your dinner.

    Anyone have experience with the “Made In” line of pots or pans.  

    I have a couple pieces and really like them comfortable handles. Prefer them to All Clad by a little bit. 

  6. Randomly came across this place called Mandarin Coffee Stand -In Pasadena which is in the Chinese heavily populated San Gabriel Valley. Someone on a local food board said they went and there were no Chinese coffee beans to be had there at the moment but here is a web page about them.

  7. I've ordered a couple things from there and it's all arrived pretty quick (to be fair most/all things I've ordered from Jpn have come faster than it often does in from within the US - From Whitesville tee shirts to Japanese knives!)

     

    Things I've ordered include Riken Bonito soup powder (a nice instant dashi that uses less traditional ingredients) https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Riken-Bonito-Soup-Stock-17-6/dp/B0753M1TP2

    and a rice pot by Staub originally for the Japanese market, which I think you can now get through regular Amazon.
