Oh my…read moreGod St. Louis ribs, the ones that I've been eating since butcher block opened in The North End years ago.Simply amazing!!! If you want to know how to cook them the correct way. We usually put a pan of water with a cooking tray on top of it with the ribs on top of the tray getting steamed. have the oven at about 400 for about 35 minutes.Then we throw them on your. Bbq grill to darken them up a bit. Mama Mia!! .

Stillman's was there with their phenomenal meats, the veggie folks have fresh eggs, there was a lady selling french macaroons - I had to try not to make eye contact with any more vendors lest I walk away with no more paycheck.

All reasonably priced for the quality. And three different flavors of gravy; golden, red and alla Norma (eggplant and ricotta red sauce)! 32 oz. jars for $10, how can you beat that? I also love getting lamb chorizo from Stillman farm. It's definitely a treat since it's a little pricey, but sooo delicious. There really is nothing compared to lamb sausage. There's also always some local cheese vendors, bakers, fish and produce vendors. Really, I just love the convenience of it, it's the easiest farmer's market for me to get to any time of the year. Prices are high, which is really why I only buy meat, fresh pasta and sauce, I'm willing to pay a little extra for the quality of those items.

Found this place linked off of the boston museum ethnic food market list,…read morehttp://www.bostonmuseum.org/bostonethnicmarkets.html and went here in search of the ingredients for my first attempt at making a mexican mole. Clean, family run, small, kind of feels like a convenience store. Lots of canned/dried/frozen/frig items, as well as meats (unfortunately their fresh mexican chorizo comes in on Mondays, so I missed it). They had a small selection of fresh veggies. In addition to my mole ingredients, I picked up some crema (they had 3 different kinds) and the difficult to find 32oz Tapatio Hot Sauce. Prices were good (I ended up going to the Chelsea Market Basket afterwords to pick up some more conventional ingredients and found that the prices charged at this mom and pop store were never more than 50cents more than the offerings @ Market Basket and were in some cases cheaper). Street parking was eating (free 2 hour street parking in front of the store).

We drove quite a bit just to shop at Christina's Spices! This shop is nestled in Inman Square and…read morecontains spices from all around the world. There are specialty spreads, sauces, nuts, beans, teas, etc. you can purchase as well. Speaking to the owner's son, he mentioned spices are purchased in the USA (that have been imported from other countries) and purchased directly from other countries as well. I visited this shop when it first opened maybe about 7-8 years ago. It was located near Christina's Homemade Icecream shop and didn't have as much stock. I'm so glad this establishment blossomed into a full spice library! One suggestion for the owners would be to label sections with spices by maybe country or curries vs marinades etc. I bought so many spices since we are never in the area. My purchases ranged from Thai green curry spice mix to goghugaru chilli flakes. What a delightful visit I had and I even picked up a few gifts for friends too!

This place was a lot larger than I expected, and they carry an unimaginable number of spices,…read moresauces, salts, pepper seasonings, teas, and grains, plus a smaller amount of coffee, dried mushrooms, marmalades/preserves/jams, honey, and oils. There's probably something for every kind of cuisine out there. I was quite happy to find that they had a special flavor of Japanese rice seasoning I couldn't find at Hmart and other Asian stores. I also ended up getting lavender flowers and yuzu marmalade to enhance and go with my matcha tea. Prices were very reasonable, and the staff were very friendly. I'll definitely be back for some specialty items!

I immediately recognized the brand because I've seen their saffron sugar sold at diesel cafe in Davis square. Browsing around, the guy working there was quick to help me navigate the store since I had nothing in mind except to wander around. Very helpful - he gave me a few complimentary recipes using ingredients I had mentioned that I liked. I was super curious about their Persian ingredients, especially to compare pricing from the Persian markets in Watertown. Yes, Curio is more expensive, but their quality is high. They had zereshk (barberries), limoo (whole dried lemons), adiveh (spice blend that I bought), and honestly so much more that I wish I had the time to list off. Overall beautiful selection of spices, I can see this being a go-to place for me to use in my own cooking and to buy as gifts for others. Other highlights - their chocolate selection! So many unique chocolates from around the world. I went home with a Vietnamese chocolate that was flavored with pho spices & a Hungarian chocolate of caramelized lavender & anise. So aromatic and lovely! They have pop-up events every so often and in-person & virtual classes. If you're a foodie & enjoy cooking, this place is definitely a place to check out.
