Bless you Lady Penelope (and Bunnahabhain and all). That gives me a much better idea what's available. Glad there is an outlet for El Paso, that will go a long way. As for salsa, well, they are going to have very little equipment to work with so it would be easier to buy some Pace than to buy a blender. No idea what part of town they are in yet, but just didn't want to assume all things would be available. No doubt they will have many more choices than if they were in a small town.

KateG, what's your problem?   Of course they are going to spend lots of time eating local style and in season. As I explained, we are sending a special family cookbook with them so they can start their family off with some food traditions and comfort foods at hand for when they need them. The fluff is an ingredient in a cherished and delicious family recipe eaten once a year.   And they are not 'traveling', one is having to take a professional course of study there because it is not available at home.
