British Market also has a Los Gatos location (Santa Cruz Ave) where you can get
Marmite, etc.  Also, British Foods (on Campbell Avenue, near or in the Kirkwood
Shopping Center, near an aquarium supply) has it as well.  The Campell place
seems to close earlier tho.  

Cost Plus on Steven's Creen near Saratoga Ave. also sometimes carries it (and
has Typhoo tea in loose form as well).

You hit the point exactly. It is NOT a pretentious restaurant and they
say so themselves! (Does THAT make them pretentious?)

I found their food to be quite good, their prices reasonable, and the
service quite good. They offer a "Patio Prix Fix" at (I believe) $19.95
which includes an appetizer, main course, and dessert. I don't know if
they still offer this, but call and ask.

Was making a way out dish last night from the Frugal Gourmet's

 It called for ground dried rose petals, and fresh ground cardamon.
 Now, I've been looking for whole caramon for some time with no
result.  The Frug said I'd find it in a spice shop.  Sounds good to
me!  Does anyone in the mid-peninsula San Francisco area know where
a bona fide spice shop is?  Cost-Plus couldn't  save  me  this  time
either.

By the way, the persian style lambs tongue was pretty awful.  I
substituted rose water for the spice, but I doubt that that was the
only problem.  Any other ideas for lamb tongue preparation?

     There's also a vegetarian place on Shattuck next to the United
Artists theatre.  They use gluten to simulate meat.  IMHO, it only
slightly resembles the texture and flavor of meat, but that doesn't
keep me from enjoying the meal.  I've only tried dishes of the
"stir-fried" variety.  Do they or Long-Life Veggie prepare other
types of dishes?  Are then anywhere as good as Stephen describes his
meal at the monastary?  The meals I've had were fairly typical of
Berkeley Chinese, very mediocre and student/budget oriented.  The
service at the Shattuck establishment is also somewhat slow and
inattentive.

It met and exceeded my expectations!

1. It wasn't crowded at 12 noon on Wednesday.

2. It was clean.

3. Fish was fresh.

4. It was cheap.

Two of us had the following.

Nigiri sushi - maguro, unagi, mirugai, tairagai, fresh halibut, conch.
Maki sushi - california maki.

The total bill was $13.80

I don't usually like unagi, but this was exceptional, ie. warm & slightly
crispy, but not dry.

It is, in fact, at the corner of Remington (where it changes to Fair
Oaks) and El Camino.  Look for a Wells-Fargo and a Lucky's.  The
storefront it is in says "COUNTRY CUPBOARD" in large letters, with a
smaller "We Be Sushi" sign in the window.

Well, I guess I can sympathize with fantasizers, but actually it is
the foaming in the mouth vegitarians who thrust meat looking substitutes
at me.  The seemed to have the argument that because one could make
vegitarian food that resembled meat than one should.  I never understood
the logic of this.  It seemed to actually be undermining vegitarinism saying
well, of course, every-one loves meat and vegitarian food is truly nasty
but it's not too bad if you make it look like meat.  I lived a vegitarian
lifestyle once for three years (my housemates were vegies and I believed
in cooperation in those days.  Now I believe in selfish hedonism) and I
just stopped meating. No big deal.  But I refused to eat such disguties
as soyburgers and tofu-shakes. I mean are hamburgers and milkshakes SUCH
a nescessity?  But I must admit vegi- spareribs and Rice Dream were
tasty in their own right (but I insisted on calling them baked gluton and
frozen creamed rice).

How can you say that?   It is not at all the same as Indian food.   Hell,
Indian food isn't the same as Indian food - India is a very, very large
country with many different ethnic groups and cultures, all of whom have their
own ways of cooking things.   It's true that some dishes may be similar from
one culture to another, but to say that all of the food is the same is very
misleading.   For example, would you also say that the food at Pasand is the
same as the food at Gaylord's?

The daal at Kathmandu West is quite similar to daal that I've experienced
at Sue's Kitchen, and the roti is similar to (but not the same as) naan,
and one of the chicken dishes looks a lot like tandoori chicken, but that's
about where the similarity stops.   I've been told that the lamb dishes are
quite different from standard indian faire, and I can testify for myself
that I've never experienced eggplant, black-eyed peas with bamboo, or
mismas in the style of Kathmandu West elsewhere.

Also, Kathmandu West doesn't use ghee in cooking - they use vegetable oil.
This means that the food there has a lot less saturated fat than at a
traditional north- or south-Indian restaurant.   This also has an effect
on the flavour, although I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to claim that one
way is better than the other - I like both.

Anyway, I don't mean to say that there is no truth in your statement - there
is certainly a strong similarity between the food at Kathmandu West and the
food at a North Indian restaurant.   However, the spicing is a bit different,
and the selection of actual dishes is quite different, so I would recommend
Kathmandu West even to somebody who might not like the spicing at a North
Indian restaurant - there are certainly people here at NCD who will eat at
Kathmandu West but not at Sue's Kitchen.

Is this the place near Tower Records at San Antonio and El Camino?

Why is their stuff so damn expensive. If I remember correcktly <sic> a
Latte cost me 2.75! I would think this is a little high for the 'burbs...

----------

Want to try some great espresso? Try Nick's special (and personal and secret)
blend/roast at Lytton Street Roasting Company in Palo Alto. The hours are 
limited (a 6 to 6 thing) but it is worth the special trip during the day for
their espresso. Other espresso compared to Nick's is bitter. I have never had
anything quite like it. If there are other special blends etc. I should try
please recommend them here!

Thanx,
