Get your butcher (I use Super Baru) to grind pork meat (about 75%) and pork fat--grasso (about 25%). Ask him to grind it a couple notches coarser than the regular ground beef. The first time, I took a friend to explain, now he knows exactly what I want. Add generous quantities of red pepper flakes, sage (which I can't find right now), some seasoned salt and some worchestishire sauce. Massage it all together and enjoy. Hi Don Ray,

For a cracker meal replacement, I recommend the packaged breadcrumbs that is in PriceSmart. I have started using it for chicken fried steak and bet it would be perfect for fried shrimp. HI DSD,

Glad to have been able to help. Now to the other inquiries - please note that although I've seen some of the stuff you're asking for in the locations mentioned, that's not to say they're presently there - ok? Also, when scanning the supermarket shelves, think creatively as things are most often not stocked where you might think they should be. John: have seen tinned okra at both Super99 and Super Baru. Bush's Baked beans have been sited at Rey (as DR mentioned) and also at Super99. Have yet to see hominy, will will put it on my BOLO list. Have also yet to see frozen catfish here in Panama, but have seen it available in Costa Rica. Fran: I've seen El Paso products at one time or another in every major supermarket in David, as well as PriceSmart. As for fresh, HOT chilies - speak to your favorite vegetable vendor. If they know you're looking, they will find them. Charlotte: Nabisco Craker meal - hmmmm, got me there. For breading chops, shrimp, etc. I use the fine bread crumbs sold at Super Baru. Sausage casings - fresh or synthetic? Either way - you got me again! I would suggest speaking to the folks at Berard in Volcan. Whew! Hope this helps. DSD signing off.

Would like to know where I can buy hog casings. We always made our own fresh kielbasi in the US and we are hungry for good stuff. Hi DSD. Would like to know where I can buy hog casings.

Oh, wait, too much to ask. OK, canned green chili, the hotter the better. Any El Paso brand canned mexican-type foods. Green chili, fresh Anaheim chilies. Oh, wait, too much to ask.
