Hi - I did check your site to see if my questions were there and they're
not so I'm asking about them now:
Can you locate a recipe for me for any of the following:
Trinidad pone (a type of sweet bread made with cassava/yucca)
Thanks so much for your help.

Dear Phaedrus , I'm trying to find the company or, companies who supply the
delicatessens, and food stores of the potato kanish .I understand they come
in a box frozen . I have Recipes for them , but they just don't taste like
the commercialized New York Kanish you know, kind of like a hot dog at a
ball game. If I can order a box from one of these companies that would be
great,. I was raised on long Island, and currently live in Los Angeles
county. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Bob.

Hello Peter,
Well, I'm sad to say that there are no recipes, at least none on the
Internet, for the Gerber's product. Actually, no recipes for any kind of
frosted animal cookies.
The only slim thread that I can offer you is the fact that there are other
brands of frosted animal cookies. "Mother's" makes one, and so does Keebler.
See:
Keebler
There's another kind here:

Subject: Filet powder
HELP--I am trying to find a recipe for filet powder. I would like to make
some mushroom gumbo(we don't eat meat).
The directions call for filet powder--I have heard of this--but our local
grocery store doesn't carry it and I have no idea what it should taste
like to allow substitution. Any help would be wonderful!!
Thank you,
Ellen
Hello Ellen,
It's "filé", not "filet". "Filé powder" isn't something you make with a
recipe. It's dried, powdered sassafras leaves. There's no substitute. Most
large supermarkets have it in the spice section. Wal-Mart Super Center
does for sure. You can buy it online here:

Subject: Re: Filet powder
Thank you for your response--I looked through some old cookbooks and found
that file powder (I then saw that I had misspelled it) is actually dried
sassafras leaves ground to a powder and usually optional--I just happen to
have some sassafras trees in our woods--they reseed themselves all over the
place--so I will dry a few leaves and see what happens. I already have the
portabelllo mushrooms and will have to make the gumbo sans the file powder
this time.
I'm dying to try this, though, a rootbeer flavor will be quite unexpected!!!
Okay, so how do you get to make the accent aigue on your keyboard? I have no
such mark though I do see a tilde and an accent grave---wish I had a degree
sign when sharing recipes, too--ah well, I guess I can live without
them............................
Thanks once again,
Ellen
Hi Ellen,
Good luck. Don't use too much sassafras powder.
As for the characters, there are two ways:
1) On your Windows desktop, go to:
- PROGRAMS
- ACCESSORIES
- SYSTEM TOOLS
- CHARACTER MAP
Open this, and you'll see a chart of all of the special characters that the font you are
using can produce. You can copy and paste from this character map.
2) That's slow, though. If you know the code for a special character, you
can produce it using the numeric keypad on your computer.
The code for é is ALT + 0233
The code for the degree symbol ° is ALT + 248
Make sure the "Num Lock" light is ON
Just hold down the ALT key on your computer and type in 0233 on the numeric
keypad.
Release the ALT key and ... viola! é
