After all this talk of farm fresh food, I finally checked out our new farmers market. I bought tomatoes, green peppers, corn on the cob, kalamata olives and garlic EVOO from the olive stand, and just as I was leaving noticed a pickle stand. The owner and I started talking and I told him that I would love horseradish pickles but I haven't been able to find them since I moved to Florida, so I order them from Picklicious.com back in NJ and have them shipped. Turns out that they do have horseradish but he didn't keep them out and he only brought 2 quarts in case someone asked for them. I bought them both and he asked if I would, please, call him after I've tried them. They're new to their store and they want to see if the recipe needs tweaking.
You certainly don't get that kind of service in a supermarket!
