Desperately seeking edamame
posted by SVinAix on Sat, 2009-07-25 12:01
I live in the south of France and I can not seem to find edamame anywhere. Does anyone have any ideas? It is one of my favorite foods and I am really missing it badly! Thanks in advance...

I just looked and saw a recent comment in another blog from someone who lived in Marseilles asking this same question.
The response was the frozen food company Picard. Hopefully there's one near where you are.
I investigated and found this:

It's a bit pricey, particularly as it comes with a sauce you probably won't want.
Maybe not much help to you either, but Sainsburys now have edamame in the freezer section. Birds Eye brand of all things!

I'm headed to Aix in about a week for a month's stay so I'll look around, but for the moment the only edamame I have found is frozen at one of the stores in Lyon, which I wrote about here (it wasn't at Paristore, but one of the other places...I can't remember which at the moment). At this point I'm thinking that if I want a steady supply of edamame in the Provence I'm going to have to grow them myself...which shouldn't be hard, given the climate, but a garden would be needed of course.
