I've searched for it at most Farmer Markets and can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions?

kambuli,

I miss it a lot. I was lucky enough to taste Isbaandheys in 2006 when I went back.

Is it grown in Mexico? Maybe I should look at Latino shops?


Emperior,

It tastes like Caad if you ever tasted it.


black velvet,

We used to eat it everyday after dugsi. Bajiye, bataati with basbaas, canuuni, etc.

This lady outside our dugsi used to sell them, we used to be her regulars. :lol:

Militant,

Check the Chinese markets. Last I saw one was with a Chinese friend of mine who drove with me from TDot & she had to toss it at customs.
