I used to shop at Safeway when I lived in the metro DC area -- I don't think they have them in Georgia, or at least not around here. If their garlic comes from China...I'm sure there are many other stores that do the same thing. I think they should have to disclose it, on a sticker, sign or something. LOL...hope you enjoyed your "spinach pie" lunch. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-86328422523274385592013-09-11T14:53:40.278-04:002013-09-11T14:53:40.278-04:00Found out from our produce person that your friend...Found out from our produce person that your friendly SAFEWAY sells garlic from China, although the famous garlic from Gilroy is only one hour from San Francisco!<br />What bothers me is that the customer is not aware of it. It is not right!<br />By the way I am having the Spinach pie for lunch!unter der laternehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128693611242988987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-2585034554099091382013-09-10T22:35:24.831-04:002013-09-10T22:35:24.831-04:00OMGoodness we are twins!

I used to be able to get the good crab in a can that was from USA too. I haven't looked in a few months but last time I looked it was all from China (or foreign waters) also! It would be nice if we had more fish products from USA at reasonable prices. I hate to be rude but we don't know what other countries consider "wild caught."<br />Thanks for your response yesterday! xoxoxoPatricianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-22276335246227566452013-09-09T21:52:03.574-04:002013-09-09T21:52:03.574-04:00Hi Patricia -- you are right, it is pricey, even a...Hi Patricia -- you are right, it is pricey, even at Costco. I think I paid $16.99/lb for the halibut we had last night. But, I would rather eat it less frequently than to buy the other stuff from "who knows where". I once bought a big bag of frozen organic broccoli at Costco and just happened to notice after we had eaten about half the bag that it was from China -- I tossed it in the trash and wondered why in the world we would ever by getting broccoli from China??? I was disappointed. Halibut and salmon are my top 2 favorite fish, too. I used to love blue crab meat...but all that is from foreign waters too now it seems and it does not taste the same as the crab I ate growing up from the Eastern Shore.

I won't eat any fish that isn't from U.S. / Alaska - China scares me. !!Looks great!Patricianoreply@blogger.com
