Palillo (Peruvian Turmeric) - Source?

Post #1 - November 19th, 2008, 11:28 pmIt's that time again, the time to put together a bunch of strange recipes for a holiday party. I have a Peruvian recipe that calls for Palillo, and they say Turmeric can be substituted.
I have yet to find a source online, I'd prefer a local source. I just might be lazy and use Turmeric, but I'd hate to back down from a challenge.What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?

Not sure if this is of any help, on Devon Avenue they sell fresh tumeric roots. They look like a cross between ginger (papery exterior) and a small carrot (orange peeking out from underneath).

Post #4 - November 20th, 2008, 7:40 pmTurmeric is easy -- I've got plenty of that. What I don't know is if Palillo is actually different, and if I can get any without major fuss.What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?

La Unica has Pailillo. It was on an endcap near the frozen goods with other Peruvian products. IIRC, it was marked $2.99. The English translation said "tumeric." Regardless, if you want this product, it's a fine excuse to enjoy a meal at La Unica. The Cubano and a steak sandwich hit the spot this afternoon.
