Zingerman’s Peanut Brittle from the Candy Manufactory is on special through the end of July!
From Mail Order partner Mo Frechette:

Candyman Charlie Frank isn’t reinventing the wheel, just making it more delicious. The latest creation from his candy kitchen is a flavor-charged upgrade of classic peanut brittle.
Jumbo Runner peanuts jut like boulders from a shiny, golden candy sea. The texture looks silky but shatters in crisp shards with each bite. To achieve this consistency Charlie makes small batches by hand with a watchful eye. This is stovetop brittle, not factory gristle, with butterscotch-brown flavor, sharp, crackly texture and a finishing savor of roasted peanuts.

Ships flat rate!

Zingerman’s Mail Order is featuring delicious Bonito Tinned Tuna this week at a great discount & flat rate shipping!
Mo says:

This is one of the most popular foods we sell.
Here in the U.S., tinned tuna is a low-end commodity usually sold in supermarkets. In Spain it’s at the complete opposite of the culinary spectrum. Writing in the New Yorker, Lauren Collins said Spain is “perhaps the only country in the world where it is desirable to serve food that comes in a can.” She meant it as a compliment—it’s delicious.

Tuna in tins, especially these from the fourth-generation family firm Ortiz, is one of the jewels in Spain’s culinary crown. Ortiz’s fish are all line caught—not netted—hand cleaned and tinned in good olive oil. The olive oil is key. It adds flavor and makes the texture silky over time, unlike water, which tends to leach flavors from the fish.

Bonito—or albacore, as it’s commonly known in America—is the most mellow and highly prized species. It gets my vote for top everyday eating tuna. It’s nearly the ultimate in convenience food. A quick turn of the lid, and you can serve it with salads, beans, appetizer platters or on its own, dressed with some top-notch olive oil, a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkling of sea salt.

Check out their huge Summer Sale catalog too! Ends July 31st.
