Not sure what you mean... out the back of the bag? If so, you didn't
twist it shut and squeeze from the end.

You answered the question... pasta is ethnic, certain shapes very
ethnic... there is no market for jumbo shells in a hood that has
little to no Eyetalian population. Stores tend not to stock ethnic
foods that don't sell in a particular hood. The area where I live is
populated almost exclusively by Irish, German, and Italian... all
those ethnic ingredients are available year round... but Asian and
Hispanic ingredients are virtually non-existant, especially noticeably
absent in the produce departments, I haven't seen a plantain or a bean
sprout around here in nearly ten years.

It's very easy to make ravioli from wanton wrappers... if you want big
honkin' plumpers fill spring roll wrappers. I honestly don't see the
point to stuffed shells unless they're some quirky family tradition
for certain holidays... if I'm gonna stuff something I'd much rather
have cheese blintzes. And yoose thought I was gonna say something
naughty.

I'm sure you could find them online. I buy Tinkyada, but they are a rice
pasta.

If I have to, I will go that route, but I would rather find them in a
store so that I can buy them when I want them and not have to wait a
couple weeks or pay for shipping. I do travel a bit for cat shows, so
I may be able to go to stores that aren't in my own area,. I will be
in Oregon in 2 weeks, and Boise, Idaho a week later.

'Zactly. And even in major Eyetalian hoods they probably will only
have those large shells during certain holiday times.. same as 'talian
bakeries produce certain baked goods. in some areas stupidmarkets may
have those shells all year because likely they are left overs from a
year ago... those things are not a very popular item, nowadays folks
don't have time to fuss over pasta, they just want to dump sghettis in
a pot of boiling water and ten minutes later eat.

I don't know about that. I haven't bought them since we moved back because
when my daughter was younger, she wouldn't eat them. She will eat them now
but requires the gluten free. I can get those here, but not all locations
that sell gluten free pasta sell them.

However before I moved from here about 16 years ago, they were very common.
I made them all the time and even bought frozen ones. I did look online and
haven't seen any frozen ones.

We can get plantains and bean sprouts here at pretty much any store. We do
have a lot of Asians here.

What mess? Take a water glass (5" tall, maybe?) and put the bag in it
for stability. Fold the bag down around the outside of the glass?that
will give you an open mouth to spoon the filling into. I have a 16"
plastic-lined canvas bag that would be perfect for "piping" the filling
into the manicotti tube.

Friesian (sp) wants them premade, not me. Thanks anyway. I'm just
looking (not very hard) for dry shells that are larger than jumbo.
Paul (I think) gave a link that indicated to me that one brand says
jumbo, another says giant... and both are too small. He seemed to
think he was the last word and that was always the size. He's wrong.
I said at the top of the thread that it looks like the size I want is
not being made in or distributed to the US and Barilla's jumbo is
smaller than the size I was looking for.

There was/is a shell size larger than jumbo? I've only ever used jumbo for
my stuffed shells. They're plenty large when cooked -- the same size as
I've ever seen in pictures of stuffed shells.

If your pathetic grocery stores have them, it's a local phenomena.

The only time I ever had a mess with a pastry bag was when it split open.
The bag was very, very old though. I bought a couple of them probably 30
years ago. A lightweight one and a heavier one. I kept using them until
they got brittle. And then I still kept using them. And then... Well you
can guess what came next.

I was actually thinking of using a food bag with the corner cut off.
(I don't have any pastry bags). So, that is definitely the way I will
go. I am hoping to make them on Sunday or Monday. I have a cat show
this weekend, so not much time to experiment.
