For example, the Star in >Porter Square has the stuff. Also, most Latin American food stores >(such as those in Jamaica Plain) have it too. Any of the grocers in Boston's Chinatown will have coriander (as it is usually known around here). Ask if you don't see it. There is also a good (albeit a little more expensive) shop in Manchester, NH called Yee's Oriental Market. It's run by a married couple, he from Thailand and she from China, and they stock many kinds of Indian and Asian foods. It's at 123 Hanover St., off of Elm St. near Zayre's. For bulk spices, I always go to India Tea and Spice Co. on Common St. in Belmont, Mass. You'll go broke if you buy spices off the supermarket shelves. Buy whole spices and a good grinder. They'll keep indefinitly that way. Bon appetit! -- Dan Hall "I love coriander! I could eat coriander, coriander, coriander, coriander, coriander, baked beans and coriander! - Monty Python, sorta.
