Mardi Gras Fixins Where to find?

Post #1 - February 23rd, 2006, 2:17 pmHi, everyone!
Well, I am going to be throwing a smallish Mardi Gras party this Saturday and will be making some chicken and andoulle sausage jambalaya, muffuleta sandwiches, king cake, and bananas foster.
I need to know where would be a good place to buy ingredients. I'm thinking I could probably find stuff in the local supermarkets, but the harder to find stuff like file powder and may be tougher.
I'd like suggestions to somewhere close to where I am in Streamwood.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!Akane

Post #2 - February 23rd, 2006, 2:21 pmI recently purchased some file from Penzey's in Naperville. I think they have several stores in the area. I know there is one in Oak Park. They have odd hours so phone first!Last edited by Veloute on February 24th, 2006, 9:28 am, edited 1 time in total.

Post #4 - February 24th, 2006, 9:32 amYou should easily find the pickled cauliflower and the mortadella at one of the many Italian markets/delis in the area.
Edited to add that there are a few Italian markets on Harlem located a couple of miles north of Oak Park. Freddy's should even have these items, but phone first.

So, where can I find King Cakes selling in the NW Burbs? I may want to pick one up.
I've seen a post about paczkis too, again, where in the NW burbs?
ThanksAkane

Post #8 - February 24th, 2006, 9:20 pmHi,
If you looked at the paczki thread, then you would find sources in Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights and Niles. These same bakeries might have the King cake.
Since some bakeries are making these exclusively for Tuesday. You should phone before going to see if they are available for Saturday.Cathy2
