Last week we blogged Zingerman's, a deli and purveyor of fine foods in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We really like their homegrown approach and locally-owned flavor, but we also love their excellent taste for unusual foods. Zingerman's has a frequently updated list of rare and exotic foods that they think we should try. They call their list The Great Unknowns and we are giving you a few of our favorites below the jump
Red Rice, Licorice Chocolate, and Violet Mustard: Zingerman's Great Unknowns
• Camargue Rice - Rare red rice from France. We've never had rice from France, let alone red rice. This is supposed to be nutty and fresh.
• Licorice Chocolate Bar - Figs, hot pepper and licorice are apparently the three cornerstones of Calabrian food. This licorice chocolate is from Calabria, then, with dark chocolate and that licorice flavor we love.
• Violet Mustard - Along with walnut mustard and cognac mustard, a trio of flavored mustards from France. What would you do with violet mustard?
• See entire list of The Great Unknowns - Old favorites, new stars, and a few things that defy classification.

I've been looking for violet mustard locally for a while now. I had in France and should've brought back more! It goes especially well with rabbit, and should not be heated at all or the flavor will be destroyed. I can't really afford to order from online sources now, but if you can, you should buy some!

We use violet mustard at the restaurant where I work. It's delicious and goes well with anything normal dijon would. Charcuterie...salads...even turkey sandwiches. :)

if you live in NYC I think you can get red rice if you eat at Rice. They have all sorts of kinds of rice there (as you might imagine.)
