Readers spot oyster crackers

It’s soup season, and oyster crackers always add a nice bit of crispness to a steaming bowl. And for Roz Wagner, fellow readers Aaron Mantz and Renee Witt e-mailed that she can find them at Smith’s, while Rose McKie spotted them at Walmart and Dave Levesque maintained that "Trader Joe’s has the best oyster crackers around." …

For Traci Riley, Mantz said she can find Teaberry gum at the Cracker Barrel in Kingman, Ariz. (there’s another one in St. George, Utah), and Frank Dunigan said it can be found at www. VermontCountryStore.com (or call 802-776-5730). …

For Deborah Morelli, Mantz said cherry slices candy can be found at various convenience stores, and Lenore Hammer, an employee of Camping World at 1600 S. Boulder Highway in Henderson, said that store is carrying them again. …

For readers who are looking for peppers, Renee Passadore recommended Bruno’s Peppers of Lodi, Calif., available at www. BrunosMarketplace.com (or call 209-367-5914). …

More (the last, I promise) on sweet potato fries: Diane Smart recommended Create, 7290 W. Lake Mead Blvd., and Michelle Knoll of the Treasure Island, 3300 Las Vegas Blvd. South, touted the "awesome" ones at the resort’s Gilley’s. …
