Anybody know where I can get corn meal, pinto beans/lima beans, collard greens/turnip greens. It's been almost five months............

I've seen some greens that look sorta like turnip greens, but not really. Fresh okra (for frying) would be nice also.

Nabisco vanila wafers (for banana pudding) would be nice too, if you get my drift.

My supply of grits is running a bit low, too.

I would be much obliged

Where in the south you from?

I'll be coming in a couple of weeks; I'll be happy to bring you a couple of boxes of Nilla Wafers! As far as collards go, it's the wrong time of year for good ones anyway. You ought to know that.

I'm from a little coal mining town in northwest Alabama (between Memphis and Birmingham). About 50 miles north of Tuscaloosa; sixty-five miles south of Muscle Shoals/Florence/Tuscumbia/Sheffield.

Yeah, it's way too early for collards (not good until the first frost lays on them, right?). But, I can wish!

What with all of the green houses here, I thought (hoped) that maybe somebody had some early season greens growing. Maybe not? I dunno. Haven't seen any poke salad (poke weed) growing wild here either. No kudzoo either (thank God).

Yeah, some vanila wafers would be much appreciated (even the generic ones). Good for the soul.

I've got a 2 pound bag of pinto beans I brought from the states and a container of corn meal waiting to be whooped up into some corn bread. You can come and pry them from my dead cold hands.
Seriously..............Try Hannam Market and Jell Deli. They might have some of what your looking for. As for okra try the foreign supermarket in Itaewon. You know the one "dont ask for a discount because we won't ever, ever, ever give it to you".
What about Rootbeer????????????? where can I get rootbeer?

collard greens are everywhere. koreans call them kale.

[cwemory]

be real careful, Koreans sell this thing called 옥수수빵, which does indeed translate as "cornbread", but it ain't. not in any form we know anyway.

p.s. fried kim always tastes like fried okra to me.

You know you can get pinto beans at Costco here.

For greens, how about kale. You can find kale in in large stores such as emart and homever.

foreign market in Itaewon has dried butter beans, pintos, corn meal. No collards or turnip greens, however. Haven't found vanilla wafers for Banana Pudding yet, either.
