We are open and plan to remain open regular hours*, 7 days per week. Our checkout counter has been modified to maintain a 6 foot distance between customers and cashier. We have free latex gloves at the checkout counter for use while shopping, if desired. We continue to sanitize all surfaces with a bleach solution continuously, including front door handles, refrigerator case door handles, checkout counter, credit card machine, restroom handles, and surfaces. And of course, our food-handling slicers are wiped down after each use with a bleach sanitizing solution. *Our regular hours are 10 AM – 6 PM Monday- Saturday, and 11-5 on Sunday. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to the front-line workers including health care workers, first responders, government staff and others who are working 24/7 to care for us during this pandemic.

We now stock frozen French-style baguettes. With a golden crust and light honeycomb crust, this 21″ baguette is fantastic with French Payson Breton salted butter! Or use it in recipes, such as the following chorizo bread pudding.
AMY’S CHORIZO BREAD PUDDING (from The Spanish Table cookbook)
This recipe is courtesy of the now-shuttered Eva Restaurant which was owned by James Hondros and his wife, Amy. It was served with Amontillado Sherry Braised Rabbit which was amazing, but it will also pair well with roast chicken, or a fresh salad of spring greens. Serves 4.
l Loaf of crusty bread, cut into cubes
2 cups Cream (you could use half milk)
3 Eggs
2 tablespoons Butter (Payson Breton French butter)
1 Medium yellow onion, diced
¼ pound Bilbao Semi-cured Chorizo, diced
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Pepper
Preheat Oven to 350º. Butter a casserole dish.
In a sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat.
Sauté the onion, but do not brown.
Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs and cream.
Add the bread and toss to coat.
When the onion softens, add the chorizo and toss.
Stir the onions and chorizo into the bread and cream mixture.
Add salt and pepper.
Pour into the prepared casserole and bake until custard is set and the top is slightly brown, then serve.
