1195.0. "Looking for Pesach shopping" by MRKTNG::GLAGOW (Steve Glagow @TTB) Fri Mar 27 1992 16:21

    I am new to the area. I live around Nashua, N.H. and am looking for 
    a place to do my Pesach shopping. Any recommendations?

1195.1The ButcherieWILBRY::WASSERMANDeb Wasserman, DTN 264-1863Fri Mar 27 1992 17:044
    The local supermarkets carry a smattering of Pesadicher products, but
    the best selection can be found (where else) in Brookline MA.  Probably
    The Butcherie would have the most.  (I haven't been to Brookline in a
    while, I assume they're still there?)

Yep, they're still there.  They are open until ~20:30 on Thursdays and 8:30 to
13:30 on Sundays.  They are starting the process of eliminating all of the non-
Pesadik stuff, so there stock will be improving this week and next (except for
perhaps the big Matzah Sh'mura, which they run out of).

1195.5Stop N Shop has a good deal of stuff, alsoCADSYS::HECTOR::RICHARDSONFri Mar 27 1992 19:1820
    The "Super Stop N Shop" on route 9 in Natick had a reasonable selection
    of pesachdic stuff - we got most of our needs there, and then made the
    traditional Sunday-morning-before-Passover haul into Brookline to join
    the enormous crowd at the Butcherie to get the rest of the stuff.  We
    order meat from the kosher butcher in Framingham.  If you can manage to
    shop any time OTHER than the Sunday morning before the holiday, you
    will have a much easier time of it - and they will run out of fewer
    things you need.  (The Super S&S is also a good deal cheaper.)
    
    Our local Shaws (next to HLO) carries things like Shabbos candles, but
    hardly any pesachdic stuff - Hudson is a Portuguese town, so the
    "ethnic" food section has mostly unusual varieties of beans and other
    packaged foods labeled in Portuguese - very little Passover stuff.
    
    We get my mother-in-law to get an extra box of the handmade matzoh - no
    one in our crowd feels required to eat these things (which are real
    cardboard-y compared to the Israeli machine-made ones, which we like)
    except during the seder (second seder at our house).

1195.6Temple Beth Abrham food ordering groupTNPUBS::STEINHARTLauraMon Mar 30 1992 17:418
    If you would like to be part of an ordering group at Temple Beth
    Abraham (Laton St., Nashua) call Florence at the office.  The number
    (business hours) is (603) 883-8184.
    
    The ordering group regularly gets kosher meat from Hurwitz Meat Market
    in Framingham.  In the past, they have ordered special Pesach foods.  I
    didn't notice an announcement about that in this month's newsletter.  I
    suggest you ask Florence.
