Does anyone know where I can purchase izarra?

If Izarra is no longer available in the States. I would love to know why.

Is there anything I can use as a substitute in cooking? I've used green Chartreuse but that is difficult to find. Any suggestions?

Hi, Paula,

It hasn't been available in Quebec for quite a while. When I asked about it a few years ago, both here and in the States, I was told that, like Stimorol gum, it is no longer distributed in North America. A quick Google search appears to confirm that, though it can be purchased in the UK and on the continent. A search on www.wine-searcher.com turns up only Spanish and Mexican retailers, some of whom offer worldwide delivery. Other than that, it looks like you're stuck with what a friend calls importation valise. Chartreuse is good in its own right but it's just not the same, eh?

Thanks so much. I guess I really didn't want to read that.

Yesterday, Carolyn Tillie bought some jagermeister for me to try. The aroma is fabulous in its own way---sort of like pickled cabbage. Anyone tried cooking with it?

Paula,

Through all the Jager induced hazy days in my early 20s, that is a thought that would have NEVER crossed my mind.

It always reminded me of menthol flavored cough syrup.

:laugh:

If someone writes a book about restaurants and nobody reads it, will it produce a 10 page thread?
