Ingredient Swap
Hey all,
I thought this might be a cool idea, since us VegWebber's live all over the place! I know some of my homies in NZ have a hard time finding Latin/ Mexican ingredients that I find in abundance... I love little swaps and gift exchanges, and even just sending peeps "presents" out of the kindness of my little vegan heart...
If you have access to something cool, let us know!
If you run into some weird spice, condiment, or ingredient that you want to share do so!
I have access to basically anything in Viva Vegan (Latin/Mexican)... Dried chilies, spices, garbanzo bean flour, nut yeast, you name it...
I also have an Indian grocery store right down the street and have access to black salt (for that distinct "eggy smell") and an abundance of other spices...
There is a Persian market across the street with spices, condiments, and chilies, dried fruits, dried beans of all kinds, exotic flours, etc
2 health food stores with tons of hard to find products and vegan goodies... Trader Joe's right down the street
I do have access to Asian ingredients as well, but it's a little drive (15 minutes North... Nothing like FB's Asian loot though)
If you run into something in a cookbook that you haven't seen/ heard of shout out!
Black salt definitely. It's not expensive. PM me an address and I'll send some on, no exchange necessary. :)
I think I can get barley malt powder here. I'm not positive. But theres a super fantastic spice store in Sarasota and I feel like I might have seen it there? Hmmm.
Black salt is very inexpensive and readily available in several stores here in nashville.

You would do that? Thank you! I'll PM you straight away!! Are you sure about no exchange? I can surely try to come up with something in return!

That's what you get for having a rep!
Hey Minke, one bottle of jallab syrup procured. I love going in that market, there is so much stuff I want to try. PM me an address and I'll bubble wrap the hell out of it and send it on! ;D

I can get that all, except the time I got toor dal it ended up being infested :'( SO SAD
Can you ship dry legumes international? (is it considered a raw agricultural product?)
If it's sealed up in a can or plastic, shouldn't be a problem.
Trouble is, I haven't got anything to swap back! Unless, like, a T-shirt or earrings or something.
I just saw this....what a great idea!
I've got access to
Asian - Indian
Chinese,
Filipino
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Latin America
Middle East
Pan Asain
Puerto Rican
Thailand
Vietnamese
Russian
Plus Whole Foods, Sun Harvest and soon to be Trader Joes!!! Plus I'm sure there's more...I'd have to ask around.

Thank you! :)>>>
I can get most ethnic stuff, nootch, etc. PM me if you want me to send something
PM me an address Yabbit. :)
I have few places near me :'(
I have pretty much the chain grocery stores like safeway and fred meyer, but they have a very lacking selection of natural or vegan foods.
As far as WF and Trader joes they are in the next town. No specialty shops nearest place that may have specialty food would be portland.
The area of oregon I live in vegan goods are rare
If anyone with access to Persian/Middle Eastern food wants to send me a jar of harissa and a bottle of pomegranate molasses, I'll send you a care package of goodies equal in price, or something else you want that I have access to. I live in the same city as Storm.
Also, I crave Vegemite and have yet to find it in this town. There's marmite, but I want Vegemite.
Thanks.
tweety.... i just checked my vegemite that i never opened to see if it was still good so i could sent it to you.... saddly it is expired.... (2009).... so i guess this is just a crappy tease reply.
I live in Australia, the land of Vegemite. Although if someone in the USA has access to it, it would probably be cheaper for them to send it to you. But if no one else replies I can get you some. I also have a recipe for harissa if you're interested. PM me if you want it, or the Vegemite.

i am going to the market this weekend, i can def get the molasses i will look for the harissa...
can you think of anything else? they have both garlic and ginger paste (or a combo or both) which i know is in lots of Indian cooking, lots of bagged beans and specialty flours (chickpea, rice...), lots of chutneys and relish type jarred things, spices, tamarind paste, tons of diff canned olives...
i have not seen vege or marmite anywhere... i had to order the marmite stuffs for BCG's "Beefy Soy Curls"...
if i do a flat rate box i wanna fill it up!
