When I wanted to make cactus salad for a friend's dinner party, after a string of phone calls, Tehuitzingo was the first place I found that carried fresh cactus ($1.59/lb.). It may not be the most glamorous Mexican goods store, but it?s utilitarianism at its best.

For those of us who live in Queens and Brooklyn, we don't have to go looking for Mexican ingredients. We have to go looking for American ingredients. Mexican cooking has become the norm out here in Bushwick, since I cook local and from what looks good in the shops. The best part about these Mexican bodegas and bakeries is the weekend tamales that they sell for a buck a piece on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. msjessica on Apr 15, 2007

Squash blossoms ARE pumpkin flowers. In Mexico, we call squash blossoms "flor de calabaza" because we call all squashes "calabazas" (pumpkins). MamaChilanga on Apr 13, 2007
