Here’s one: [Amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/Ortiz-Ventresca-White-Belly-110-Grams/dp/B004OHGOY6/ref=pd_bxgy_325_2?creativeASIN=B004OHGOY6&linkCode=w61&imprToken=EjxKnXqA.Cw24tCGyyb6hg&slotNum=0&_encoding=UTF8&ascsubtag=7dbdc7ec498ccae70cc8ba745f5e2a648d2fee24&pd_rd_i=B004OHGOY6&pd_rd_r=68220c6e-a5b7-11e8-bfc5-3db65552699c&pd_rd_w=UMHUx&pd_rd_wg=y04sK&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=7ca3846a-7fcf-4568-9727-1bc2d7b4d5e0&pf_rd_r=F2ET6E2C6S521JSXNMMQ&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=F2ET6E2C6S521JSXNMMQ&tag=kinjathetakeout-20) It’s a very high quality canned tuna. I’ve had it and its delicious – I like to put things like this on my wish list for gifts. What are some other very tasty but relatively exotic non-perishable foods available on Amazon? ---

They sell my brand of Chinese sausage: [Amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/Kam-Yen-Jan-Chinese-Sausage/dp/B000A0ZEBA/) You can also get _legit good_ ramen: [Amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015887PKQ/) That’s just an example; they have a good variety of good Japanese and Korean instant noodle cups/bowls/blocks available. You do have to be careful about checking the description for price and quantity, as these things often come in 8 or 12 packs but they also are sold individually for basically the same price. I’ve gotten good deals on canned sardines. I like the really little brisling ones, and I’ve gotten them on amazon for less than $2.50 a can. In the supermarket a can of King Oscar sardines will run you $3.99. ---

I buy this chili sauce on Amazon, I’ve been addicted to it since I lived in Indonesia.

I get: [Bottarga](https://www.amazon.com/Supreme-Bottarga-Finest-Sardinian-Grated/dp/B071Y7N11N/) (great in a simple aoili sauce on spaghetti) [Roesti](https://www.amazon.com/Grocholl-Roesti-Potatoes-14-Ounce/dp/B07G2S47ZY/) (basically a premade large potato pancake; my husband loves these) and [Peanut Puffs](https://www.amazon.com/Peanut-Butter-Snacks-Natural-12-Pack/dp/B07KYWSFWB/) (be warned if you like peanut things; these can be addictive) ---

Shipping is a bit expensive though, we usually wait till we have several items to order from them. They may also have a brick-and-mortar store near you. ---

Thanks for those suggestions – the Indonesian hot sauce and bottarga look very interesting. I’ve added just about every one of these suggestions to my “wish list” for gifts, so in all likelihood I’ll be getting to try some of them come xmas time and my birthday. ---

Penzey’s products are excellent, and maybe it’s different in other locations, but they have a brick-and-mortar store in my area and it has really bizarre hours. Like 10A-3P, what are they, a bank?!

I just checked their web site and I couldn’t find any store that has hours like that - most are open 10-6 Monday-Saturday, and shorter hours on Sunday. ---

Yeah, I think you’re right, although my store is curiously not listed on their website’s store locator. Still, those are pretty inconvenient hours for most people. I can never get over there in time, and I’m not nearby on weekends. ---

I’ve added just about every one of these suggestions to my “wish list” for gifts, so in all likelihood I’ll be getting to try some of them come xmas time and my birthday. ABC hot sauce comes in extra hot and sweet, I prefer the extra hot. I use it on food, but I also use it to add heat to recipes; I put it in my chili and most stews. But I love spicy, I’d pretty much brush my teeth with it. ---
