OT: This week's column Global Groceries is published. Thanks for reading.

The Hmong are a tribal group from the mountains of Laos. They helped the Americans during Vietnam. The largest group in the USA live in the Twin Cities. Yeah, I don't understand why anyone from lovely tropical mountains would come to Minnesota, but I'm glad they did. This is about a Hmong grocery store.

Sounds de-lish. Happy Easter!

Ilove tripe, but I especially love roasted lamb. I know about taramosalata (I eat it on matzo) but I buy my tzatziki in the store. If you want to send me your mom's tripe recipe, I'll try it.
