Best latin-american or caribbean grocers in area?
Hi All,
DH and I are celebrating our 4th anniversary soon and the traditional gift is fruit and flowers. I'd like to get him a fruit he remembers having in Trinidad. It goes by many different names (chenette, mamoncello, mamom, spanish lime) and I thought some latin-american or caribbean grocers might carry it. I will do a google search of grocers but was wondering if anyone here had specifc recs.
Thanks a lot.
Rachael

My husband goes crazy for these, too... but, he calls them kaynep or gaynep (or something like that...)
They're seasonal - so, you may not find them in the store right now. I can't recall when I've actually bought them.
We've bought them a few different places - HMart, Lotte Plaza, and GrandMart.
He says they're not *exactly* the ones he used to have growing up in the Caribbean... but, they're close enough!
Good luck!
THANK YOU!!!!! None of the other stores in this post carry them but I know they might not also be quite in season yet. I will call around!

No prob! I'll keep my eye out for them if I go shopping this week, too.
You might want to add "quenepa" to your list of stuff you ask for when you call the stores... I think that's what they were labeled as at HMart... (although, I can't remember exactly....)
not sure how it's spelled but its pronouced G(like in girl) "gin-nup". You can probably get them at any hispanic grocer to if you can't find carribbean grocer...
now I want some:)
