Las Vegas Review-Journal

Not your average English muffins

- TASTE OF THE TOWN HEIDI KNAPP RINELLA

Gordon Smith is looking for English muffins larger than those usually available in supermarke­ts, and readers know where to find them: Wolferman’s, part of the family that also includes 1-800-flowers, Harry & David and a raft of other mail-order companies, at wolfermans.com (800-798-6241). Carol Lella, Patricia Mcmanis, Penny Goldin and Karen Costa recommende­d the company. And in case you’re looking for a different choice in English muffins but don’t want them quite so huge, they offer minis, too.

For Debby Carwile, who’s looking for Clark Bars, Marge Phegley said she’d seen them at Cracker Barrel, which has local stores at 8350 Dean Martin Drive and at 2815 E. Craig Road in North Las Vegas. And Mcmanis, who said Clark Bars as well as Wolferman’s muffins are among her husband’s favorites, said he gets the chocolates at amazon.com.

For William Isaac and other readers looking for sugar-free ice cream,

Ron Hirschkind pointed out that it doesn’t exist, since milk contains sugar naturally. Hirschkind said he’s diabetic and sticks with nosugar-added ice creams.

For readers looking for Ba-tampte and Bubbies pickled green tomatoes and Claussen refrigerat­ed pickle relish, Kara Hierro of Glazier’s Food Marketplac­e at 8525 W. Warm Springs Road said the store carries all three.
