** Please visit our website: http://www.africanassociation.org ** Thanks, Auntie Anita, for the update. Although we've known about the availability of Agatha's produce, my wife and I have not made it to her house yet. With the opening of the store, hopefully that will change. Congratulations to Agatha! It's about time for an African store. I think buying African foods should be done in African stores, not in Asian stores, as we have done in the past. Again, thanks, Auntie! - Wilmot ============================================================ From: "Anita H.

Now instead of going 10 blocks to get goat meat, I'll only have to go 5...like being in Malawi where there's a market just across the road. Agartha sells yams (lots of different kinds including Ghana yams...ask your favorite Ghanaian what that means), flours (plantain, cassava, maize, semolina), smoked and dried fish, lamb, goat, shea butter, cola nuts (too bitter for me), spices (some that are too hot for me so I'm sure you'll like them), palm oil and butter, frozen and dried escargot (snails), sauces, garri, Cerelac, Horlicks, Milo. She also has wigs, beauty products, movies, and music. This weekend she's having a grand opening with specials on food and beauty products. If you're interested, call Agartha at 441-0277 or visit the store at 805-A South Gammon Road. While you're there, you can also check out India House, which has great samosa, roti, tea masala, spices, meats, fresh foods, nuts, canned goods, henna, bindi, jewelry, and gifts. With these two shops in the same block as Mundo Latino, with El Mercadito near Vitense Golf, and Maharaja's and Jamerica on Odana Road, this neighborhood is starting to get interesting. -- < == >< == >< == >< == >< == >< == >< == >< == > Anita H.
