| 3430.1 | try an oriental grocer | CADSYS::HECTOR::RICHARDSON | | Wed Jan 22 1992 11:58 | 2 |
| It's a sort of sweet rice wine. You might find it in an oriental
grocery store or even a liquor store.

| 3430.2 | The search is on .. | OCTAVE::VIGNEAULT | | Wed Jan 22 1992 12:07 | 8 |
| Thanks, I suspected it was some sort of liquor, however the 2 liquor
stores I've been to both said they've never heard of it. They even
looked it up in their catalogs to no avail.
At least knowing definitively what I'm looking for will help.

| It's more along the lines of a cooking wine. Last time I looked, Joyce Chen's
in Acton carried it.

Thanks for all your help, I managed to locate it in Cho's Oriental
Market in Worcester.

| 3430.5 | In case you can't buy mirin... | TNPUBS::NORTEMAN | | Wed Jan 22 1992 17:04 | 5 |
| Mirin is actually spiced sake; it is traditionally drunk cool (as
opposed to hot) at New Year's. I don't know what spices go into it,
but I imagine you could "mull" sake in a pinch.

Hi Edd,
If you head up Cambridge Street towards Webster Square, there's a
small strip mall on your left before the complex of brick buildings
where Reed and Prince used to be. It's actually called Twins Oriental
market now. It's shortly past the point where Cambridge St goes up
a short hill over a railroad track, then curves slightly to the left.
Hope this helps,
Larry

I hope they carry panang curry, fish sauce and coconut milk...

If not, there are a couple places on Main Street near Clark University
that do.

| Two outta three wasn't bad. I scored a big bottle of "nouk mom" fish
sauce and a couple cans of coconut milk. They had a variety of curries
but nothing explicitly stating "panang".
T'was worth the trip though. I've been buying "A Taste Of Thai" fish
sauce for about $2.79 for ~ .5 pint. The bottle I bought Saturday cost
$1.99 and is at least a quart. It's the same stuff Jeff Smith uses....
