| 3478.2 | Restaurant supply houses | FAIR83::JENSEN | | Mon Jul 20 1992 12:55 | 18 |
| Call a restaurant supply house. There should be one in Nashua or
Manchester. Spices can also be obtained there in bulk. Much cheaper
too. If you can't find one locally there is an excellent one in
Worcester, MA. Caravan, Inc. located on lower Main St. They do not
like checks so take money and be advised they are open during the
trade's business hours only. Saturday mornings only. Call before
you go just in case. They used to give 40% off to everyone which would
be well worth knowing in advance. The quality of goods is better for
commercial stuff too. They wouldn't put up with having to replace
something too often.
RE: Herb-Ox or any flavoring of that type please keep in mind that it
is on a salt-base. That means that they start with salt and put the
flavoring on it. This is why things can have such a high sodium
content. Knorr products are developed in Tyngen, Switzerland, and have
a definite European overtone. Americans don't flavor their food as
highly.

| 3478.3 | What about the skins... | FRUST::HAMILTON | | Fri Aug 07 1992 05:46 | 5 |
| When I was a kid my mother always tried to get me to eat the skin along
with the potato for nutritional reasons. Since I have been in Germany
everyone tells me that this practice is dangerous because the spuds
are sprayed/dusted with an inhibitor to keep them from sprouting. What
gives? What do we do differently in the US?

nothing. In this day and age, if you eat potatoes regularly, you don't
want to eat the skin. If you prepare the potatoes yourself, then you
can scrub the skin really well with a brush and eat it...however, in
a person who is "sensitive" to the fungicides/pesticides/growth inhibitors
out there, it wouldn't be enough. For that matter, if you are worried
about such stuff, you should avoid the vegetables which are treated
period - it gets to be a systemic treatment very quickly. Buy organic.
In years past, much less chemistry was practiced on our food supply - that
is why rules about eating the skins of spuds and carrots have changed.
