Curious to know - what's so good you get it by mail order?

Off the top of my head, recently I've ordered:
-Dill dip mix from Leonard Mountain
-Coffee from Baby's Key West Coffee
-Basil pesto from Bella Cucina
-Soup mix from Peculiar Spice Co.

And today I got Bang Bang Sauce and Esperanza dressing from Dinni's Select. The UPS man is starting to wonder what's up with me.

So, what's so good you'll pay shipping for it?

Zabar's chocolate and cinnamon babkas. There is no better morning pastry. Well, maybe a croissant.

The first cannoli I ever had came from Ferrara's. As far as I'm concerned, they are the gold standard. Just thinking about that little 'Italian flag chef's hat' logo of their's makes me salivate.

Both are great products. Sometimes you have to deal with the personalities at Jacob's, but hey, that's what life is all about. It's all about the sausage. :D

Oh we always have to make a trip to Ferrara's when we go to the city! We take my father in law a box of cannoli. We also had a big box of italian cookies shipped in from there for our wedding. Yum!

Ouh...Baby's! Makes me want for a BIG road trip. Miss them being on Duval though.

Bang Bang sauce? :shock: Must research.

How about Panola's Worcestershire sauce? Just had a shot on my Cheerios. :lol:
