NUMBER 1 Sons: Kimchi is great with eggs... Half Sours and Crispy koshers lead the list this week along with the brand new Yellow Cucumber Pickle with horseradish pickle. Kkakdugi Radish Kimchi is back but will sell out EARLY. Last of the Sauer-Rabi + El Dorado yellow beans.

Kimchis. Rosetido spicy slaw, salsa verde, krauts. New York stylle Pickles.
KESWICK: I love to rave about their Mozzarella because it is so creamy, so much like the real Italian buffalo Mozzarella. And if you love yogurt, be sure to check this. Quark is top of mind today because it is like a very dense Greek yogurt. Made from milk, not cream, it is fermented like their yogurt but it is creamier than any cream cheese. Chileheads, alert. I was eating Dragon's Breath yesterday -- that is one hot cheese. What I like about the Keswick stand is that they have such a huge range of cheeses. Cheddar, Calverley, Wallaby, Vachino Bianca,Bovre, Tomme Sweet Tomme , Carrock. Some are Jersey cow, some are a mix of Jersey and goat Sample them all.

PANORAMA: Baguettes and croissants, breakfast pastries and lots of breads. Breton specialties like Kouign Amann and the new Crois-Nut.French breakfast pastries like palmiers, almond croissants plus the plain and chocolate crosisants, baguettes, the olive oil buns that grace the 25 dollar hamburgers at Central and the Rustiques they serve you at Citronelle. Sandwich breads, too. If they are out of a bread you crave, ask them to save one for you for next week. Late risers: they have lots of whole wheat, multigrain and sourdough boules and loaves that sell out early.
