Q: Please tell me where I can get lemon custard ice cream. It has been years since I last bought some. It is my favorite ice cream flavor. Thank you. — Donnie Shores, Atlanta
A: Donnie, I have a couple of options for you. First, there’s Greenwood Ice Cream, 4829 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, 770-455-6166, which produces many flavors, and the company also sells to the public. You can get a 3-gallon container of lemon custard ice cream for $27. If you’re looking for a little less lemon custard, and more freezer space, then check out the Frosty Caboose, 5435 Peachtree Blvd., Chamblee, 770-451-4556. The quirky little ice cream shop sells Greenwood’s lemon custard ice cream throughout spring and summer. Along with a scoop, you can snap up a pint for $5.50 or a quart for $8.
Q: Could you please help me find Bubba’s Boneless Ribs? They are seasoned, fully cooked and ready to heat and eat. I heard about them on the Shark Tank television show. Two sharks invested and recently gave an update that the business is doing so well it’s hard to keep up with the demand. I’ve checked local stores, and I don’t know whether they are fresh or frozen. Thank you. — Peggy Robeson, Alpharetta
A: Bubba’s Q World Famous Bar-B-Q and catering in Avon, Ohio, was founded by former Cleveland Browns defensive lineman Al “Bubba” Baker and his wife Sabrina. Baker came up with the patented DeBoned Baby Back Rib Steak. After the rack of ribs are seasoned and smoked, the bones are removed, leaving a slab of ribs you can eat without making a mess. While the company is working toward bringing the fully cooked ribs into stores, for now, they’re only available online through www.bubbasbonelessribs.com or by calling 800-278-5428. The ribs arrive packed in dry ice, ready for your freezer or fridge. You can select from various package sizes starting with a two-rib pack, each rib steak weighing in at approximately 8 to 11 ounces, selling for $39.95. The ribs don’t come with sauce, so you might want to order a bottle of Bubba’s barbecue sauce for $6.99.
Q: My father-in-law brought us back a bottle of Matouk’s Soca hot sauce when he visited St. Maarten over Christmas. It looks like it is bottled in Trinidad and Tobago. My husband, who is a hot sauce aficionado, fell in love with the flavor. The bottle is empty now, and I would love to be able to buy more, especially if I could find it locally. Any help you can give is appreciated. Thanks! — Lenna Applebee, email
A: Lenna, you’ll have no trouble loading up on the incendiary sauce packed with pickled scotch bonnet peppers. All the Matouk’s Soca hot sauce you want is available at Buford Highway Farmers Market, 4500 Buford Highway, Doraville, 770-455-0770. It’s in the Jamaican/Central American/African aisle 6. A 10-ounce bottle costs $2.29.
Q: I have looked everywhere for Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafer cookies. I use them for the recipe on the box made with whipped cream. I’ve been eating these cookies since I was a child, and I’m a long way from that category now. I, and my seven grandchildren, would be so grateful if you could help me find these cookies anywhere in the Atlanta area. Thank you. — Jane Daniel, email
A: These razor-thin, black-as-pitch chocolate wafers are most often found around the holidays, but I’ve had good luck finding them near the ice cream section, among toppings and cones, year round in some stores. But, they can be tricky to find. However, there’s one store that seems to carry them on a regular basis, so you can stock up on Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafer cookies at Publix, 2155 N. Decatur Road, Decatur, 404-638-6015. Each box sells for $4.99.
