"Bosnian food" section at Chelsea Market Basket
|
| |
Among the many wonders of the gargantuan Market Basket in Chelsea is a first in my experience -- a "Bosnian foods" section labeled on one of the over-aisle index signs (you know, the ones that usually say "soda," "coffee/tea," etc.).

Heirloom Apples

Sushi Recommendations around Burlington, MA?

I googled it and found two restaurants: Maki of Japan and Sarku Japan (both on the Middlesex tpke). Have you heard of either of these? Or would you suggest someplace else?... more »
