Good morning, Annetta, If you do find where your ME neighbors shop, you will discover a whole new world of wonderful tastes. I got hooked on ME cooking when our Armenian neighbors moved in next door. I have since purchased several wonderful ME cookbooks and have been having a ball. Home grown eggplants, peppers plus tomatoes, and a bottle of pomegranate molasses are the basics you need to get into those fabulous cuisines. Let me know when you find it, and I will point you toward some wonderful recipes and cookbooks. Ron
