Q: I fell in love with POG juice (passionfruit, orange and guava) when we went to Hawaii several years ago. I found it again in the Bahamas this year, and would love to have it on a regular basis here in Georgia. Is there anywhere we could get it? We live in Canton, but would be willing to drive 30 minutes or so to get some. Ordering it online would be fine, too. Thanks. — Chris Komp, Canton
A: You have a couple of choices, and while both are a combination of passion, orange and guava juices, the two products are different. First, there’s Hawaiian Sun passionfruit, orange, guava tropical fruit blend from Hawaii, which is available in 11.5-ounce cans from amazon.com. A 12-pack costs $16.99. Then there’s a fresh, refrigerated juice from Bolthouse Farms that offers a silky combination of 100-percent passionfruit, orange and guava, and it’s available at Buford Highway Farmers Market, 5600 Buford Highway, Doraville, 770-455-0770. A 32-ounce bottle, found in the refrigerated case in the produce section, sells for $4.59.
Q: I love Tastykakes but they’re not always easy to find around here. There’s a new flavor I’d like to try, and I’m hoping you can help me out. I’m looking for Kandy Bar Kakes that taste like Almond Joy candy bars. Thank you. — Andy Wolders, Woodstock
A: Andy, Tastykake has several new candy bar flavors that also include Reese’s Peanut Butter and Hershey’s Chocolate snack cakes. You’ll find boxes of five individually wrapped, coconut-almond, cream-filled Kandy Bar Kakes for $3.99 at Kroger, 2205 Lavista Road, Atlanta, 404-633-8694.
Q: There’s a spread that’s so delicious on toasted French bread. It makes a very quick and easy appetizer, and all I have to do is add a little shaved Parmesan cheese on top. It’s called San Giuliano Alghero artichoke spread. Is it available locally? I haven’t had any luck in finding it but maybe you’ll be more successful. I sure hope so. — M. Simone, email
A: Your quickie appetizer sounds terrific. And with the holidays here, you won’t have any trouble serving last-minute guests. I found small jars of the smooth San Giuliano Alghero artichoke spread at DeKalb Farmers Market, 3000 E. Ponce de Leon Ave., Decatur, 404-377-6400.
Q: When I lived in Ohio I used a product called Tannery leather and vinyl cleaner and conditioner. Do you have any idea where I can find it here, or if this product is still made? I hope you can help me find it. It was a great product. — Fred Brown, Acworth
A: Fred, you can call Ace Hardware, 866-290-5334, or check out the website at acehardware.com and order 10-ounce cans of Tannery leather cleaner and conditioner for $6.99 each, with free shipping to an ACE store near you. It should take a week or less for you to get your leather cleaner once you place your order. The item number for Tannery is 12694.
