I'll ask a friend in the catering management business if she knows of anyone.

Greek and Lebanese food usually involves lamb.
I have never been able to find lamb in the DR.
Are you planning to import it??

Cheers, Geert

Both. I owned a restaurant back in the Staes for many years. I am familiar with Lebanese cuisine because my restaurant was located next to a Lebanese restaurant owned by my best friend. He was from Beirut.

kibbee

pacito,

there is a great middle eastern restaurant in the town of La Romana. I believe called Shish Kabob. owner 2nd generation of Palestinian descent, nice friendly person. he has an email address though I misplaced same. maybe he would offer some good advice.
interestingly, there is a common street food in rep dom that has a name sounding like kibbee. must have come over via spanish moors from way back.

I have not seen lamd in any supermarkets but have had lamb in a few restaurants so it must be available?
Costelao has leg of lamb sometimes.
I had lam chops at meson de la cava as well.
In fact in july I had lamb at the Restaurant at Camp David Ranch in santiago.

I used to bring lambchops in with me when I lived in SDQ.

The Dominican version of kibbe is called quipe and was brought to the country more recently than that: by Middle Easterners who immigrated to the DR in the late 19th - mid-20th century.

There are several Middle Eastern restaurants and cafes in the capital run by their descendants, and a good Lebanese deli called L'Epicier de l'orient on Ave. Churchill.

I am told that lamb (from New Zealand, no less) is available - at a price - from the very upmarket 'Amigo' supermarket on Gustavo Mejia Ricart in Naco.

Do you know of the availability of organic vegetables in Sto Domingo...especially spinach? Or will I have to organize it myself?

Most supermarkets have a small organic section but your best bet is to buy direct from 'Mercado Ecologico' in Mirador Sur.

E-mail Andrea or Clara on fama@verizon.net.do
Thanks for the info, I never went to this market, I will check it out next week.
What I really would like is to buy Vacuum sealed organic salad (especially spinach) from USA or Canada...Do you think it is available there?
