The deli itself (and the meat and fish counters too) was kind of dicey and there was something for sale which obviously showcased canned peas. I asked the name of the dish and was told it’s called 'shallots and yogurt' and lo and behold, that’s how it was labeled at the service deli.

It was explained that they are rehydrated and mixed with either lebni or yogurt. There was a huge jar of dehydrated shallots, something I’d never seen before. If this were on a fresh baguette, it would be my new favorite sandwich but even on the somewhat squishy extant roll, it is a contender. They came on mediocre but freshly heated french bread with pickle and a variety of seasonings and fresh kabob meat and were absolutely delicious.

There’s a great assortment of fresh locally made baked goods, lots of interesting frozen items and a carryout section where I ordered two carry-out sandwiches, chicken and beef. It is really huge and funky but a veritable treasure trove if you can find a shopping cart with four working wheels.

I have long been tempted based, on the sheer size to stop at Golden Farms and found myself on San Fernando Road fortuitously and stopped by last week.
