U-Bet you can find syrup

In response to Helene Gottlieb's request, Barbara Red, Donna Venet and Al Bianco said it can be found at Smith's, while Colleen Sams and Harriet Schreider found it at Albertsons. And this is the sort of detail that makes it easier to find some items: All of the readers said the U-Bet is found in the kosher section. ...

For Steve Gall, who's looking for semicured Spanish chorizo for paella, Ray Moreton suggested El Relampago Cuban Market at 634 N. Eastern Ave.; Vic Martinez suggested King Ranch Market, which has multiple stores in the valley; and Carlos Arceniega suggested Liborio Markets, which has multiple stores in the valley, and www.LaEspanolaMeats.com (or call 310-539-0455). ...

For Sue Burger, who's looking for Snyder's Garlic Flavored Pretzel Nibblers, Judy McMillion e-mailed that she gets them at Albertsons at 1650 N. Buffalo Drive and Smith's at 1421 N. Jones Blvd., and Ruth Jagodzinski said Glazier's Food Marketplace at 8525 W. Warm Springs Road carries the best local selection of Snyder's of Hanover products. ...
