The CC hates to admit it but every once in a while he peruses the food rags. Of late, he's been seeing a spate of articles featuring what can only be absurdly exotic food substances for the vast majority of the readers.
One of the articles feature goat's milk. Another features abalone mushrooms.
Really?!? C'mon now, pull the other one.
The CC lives in New York, arguably where it's easy enough to find the most exotic of exotics, and he hops on the train to hit the regional markets in Queens pretty often.
However, even something so basic as "unhomogenized milk" was hard to come by before last year. You can't even find katsuobushi blocks and a box grater (which costs about $2, he might add!)
Fresh epazote? fresh curry leaves? fresh holy basil? Hope you like to travel!
The CC understands the need for these rags to "be ahead of the curve" and "push the envelope" but goat's milk? Forget about it! It ain't happenin'.
It makes you want to reach out for a cheeseburger instead.
