Armenian food lover Douglas Kalajian, who blogs at TheArmenianKitchen.com, recently visited Windham, where, he reports, there is now a fantastic Armenian (and Greek!) specialty foods store:
The Armenian flag fluttering over Route 23 is one of several banners outside a new Greek-owned grocery store. (Of course, there's a Greek flag, too.) ... [W]e found a surprisingly substantial array of specialty ingredients for cooking and baking, including mahlab (ground cherry pits). Mandy scooped up an armful of goodies and promised to be back soon. I thought this was pretty cool: The flag meant to attract curious Armenians did just that, and our curiosity was rewarded. Better still, Mandy now has a place to shop for our kind of groceries in a town where there isn't even a regular supermarket.
