We want to bring a cooking book to our friends in Milano as a gift. It's a latin fusion cuisine book and we would like to know if they will be able to find things like cilantro, yuca, mango, jicama and those kind of ingredients in Milano.<BR><BR>Thanks

Have you ever heard the phrase "carrying coals to Newcastle?

Looking at those ingredients, I think Z means Latin American. Cilantro has another name in Italy, can't recall. Mango, yes. Yucca, don't think so. And jicama, not sure what that is.

I agree with yyy, there's no place more Latin than Italy. <BR>As for Latin American products they are not common in ordinary supermarket but if they look for them, they will find a few places where they're sold.

Cilantro is fresh coriander, or 'coriandolo', I think. Jicama - I adore it but have never seen it in Europe anywhere.
