I am very underwhelmed by their quality. Their meat and cheese pies/
piroshki/khachapuri etc are greasy. Their baked goods uninspired.


Sure. Lot's. Most of them - right nearby. Here are the ones I use:

Europa Plus / Russian Imports

5350 Geary Blvd, between 17th and 18th
San Francisco, CA 94122
Neighborhood: Outer Richmond
(415) 387-7710

Overall best prices. Smoked lox for $7.99 per pound is very good.
Great jams from Georgia with totally unusual flavors for Americans:
Kizil (European Cornel berry, relative of dogwood) jam and jam made
out of whole young walnuts are amazing (but watch out for possible
pieces of walnut shells). Wild strawberry jams from Russia are also
nice, as are sour cherry jams.

I buy several tortes there. One is Kiev-style but with cranberries.
Another is a fruit mousse/souffl?-based with some apricots on top.
They are sold by weight: you tell him how much you want, and he will
cut it for you. There are also many boxed tortes.

Europa Express 2
750 La Playa St
(between Balboa St & Cabrillo St)
San Francisco, CA 94121
Neighborhood: Outer Richmond
(415) 751-1551

My choice for meats: hams, sausages, salamis, etc. Also a lot of
sweets. But their tortes aren?t good.

They apparently have another store in Sunset:

Europa Express
1342 Irving St
(between 14th Ave & 15th Ave)
San Francisco, CA 94122
Neighborhood: Inner Sunset
(415) 759-6500
www.europaexpressirving.com
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

European Food Wholesale and Deli

3038 Clement St
(between 31st Ave & 32nd Ave)
San Francisco, CA 94121
Neighborhood: Outer Richmond
(415) 750-0504

Overpriced. But they sell excellent almond macarons of 3 different
kinds: from very dense to incredibly airy.

New World Market
5641 Geary Blvd
(between 20th Ave & 21st Ave)
San Francisco, CA 94121
Neighborhood: Outer Richmond
(415) 751-8810

One of the oldest. The owner has built his own smokehouse downstairs
and makes his own salumeria. However, his skills aren't as good
compared to what other stores sell. But they sell seemingly hundreds
of cold cuts and sausages by weight, which means that you can try
anything before buying.

They have 3 tortes that are my favourites over anything else in SF,
but i misplaced the paper with their names. They are more subtle and
less sweet, and they sell for only $5 per pound. They are near the
checkout in the front, and you may even ask for a taste. Once in a
while they sell those huge airy almond macarons, cheaper than European
Food Wholesale and Deli but sometimes a bit stale.

But look what I found on Yelp: a very recommended deli that I was not
aware of:

Royal Market & Bakery
4.5 star rating
5335 Geary Blvd
(between 17th Ave & 18th Ave)
San Francisco, CA 94121
Neighborhood: Outer Richmond
(415) 221-5550
Marinated quails really good for BBQ!
Hours: Mon-Sun 9 am - 9 pm

All groups have extremists. They simply seem to seize on one idea and
there simply can't be any gray areas. Like anything else with modern
media it is hard to tell what is actually going on because they seek out
bizarre behavior, focus on that and play the same clip 5,000 times. So
if you weren't actually there you wouldn't even know the flavor of an
event.

The Tea party isn't an homogeneous thing. I think it consists largely of
folks who eschew the idea that some really smart person from Washington
is needed to run their lives for them. The republicans don't even know
what to do about the Tea Party because they don't embrace the current
republican ideals of socialism for big business and capitalism for
everyone else.

Well, in the US entry level cable has local channels and no BBC.
DirecTV's cheapest package had no local channels but does have BBC. To
take one example.

There is also the matter of introductory deals. Once you've had cable
for six months to a year the price goes up. So it becomes cheaper to
switch to satellite. Keep that for a year and go back to cable. It's
stupid I know but it's the way the pricing is structured. For a while I
was paying $150 a month for a cable package that if I ordered it as a
new customer would have been 55. But it's not available to existing
customers, so I dumped it and went with satellite for 55. In a year or
so the satellite will go up and it will be time to go back to cable.

Now, it may be possible to get the discounted package with cable,
however one orders new service off a Web page, to get the discount you
sit on hold for an hour or more while you get transferred around until
you finally get someone who is empowered to make such an offer, the same
for satellite, so it's easier to just dump the existing service and
change over than it is to get a discount on your existing service.

What's wrong with you? He said he used that recipe with great success
but changed the amount of salt in it. She wanted him to post the
recipe, which he did.... and now *your* panties are in a twist?
