I believe all major supermarkets sell anchovies and romaine lettuce.

I don't know if you drive your big truck up to Costco waving your membership card, looking for cases of Caesar salad dressing but it's there! 2 litre plastic Coke bottle size full of it for 8,000 won or something like that.

It is a discusting brand though, and nothing like what you remember from back home. If memory servers me correctly it is from China.

Really? Never bought it. Just saw it. In the great cave that is Costco warehouse, 10th wonder of the world.

Carrefour carries a "passable" bottled Caesar salad dressing - made in Canada. Sometimes they carry ranch.

No bottled dressing approximates the real zing of a good caesar dressing!

No, it's not Chinese, it's McCormicks from the US. I have a bottle and checked the label against their web site. I think it's just fine but I agree that home made is best.

I'm going to make the dressing myself (the stuff at Costco is just the generic cream stuff), so the thing I'm trying to find is the romaine and anchovies.

I got some nice crisp baby romaine at Carrefour and the anchovies should not be a problem to find. Mmmmm, sounds delicious.

Lets see if I can remember:

Romaine Lettuce
croutons
anchovies
raw egg yolk
olive oil
lemon juice
freshly grated parmesan cheese (regiano is preferable)
salt and freshly cracked pepper

Am I missing anything?

All of this is available, I believe, at Carrefour. Maybe I'll go this weekend. Wink )

IMHO_ Chicken, mustard and other such blaspemy does not belong in a Ceasar salad. And screw the cooked egg yolks. Sounds like a good weekend lunch to me.
