Re: [Camille] Liverpool's gourmet department

I'm not sure about PV, but we do have a gourmet food section in the Liverpool here in Cuernavaca and I had assumed that there is probably one in every Liverpool. I'm not sure of the correct name, we have always called it the imported food section. They usually have a good selection of imported wines, spices, sauces, and other imported food specialties.
Be warned, that like many stores here, they may not have all things in stock at all times. If you don't find what you want on the day you are there, come back in a couple of weeks and you may find it. If you ask a clerk if they usually carry whatever you are looking for, they will almost always tell you that they do. Don't believe them unless you have seen that item on their shelves before.
My wife and suegra shop at Liverpool at least twice per month. Their shopping trips there always include a walk through the imported foods section as my wife is a diabetic, and there are some things that Liverpool is most likely to have that she buys regularly.
Our local Liverpool also has a restaurant and delicatessen. The restaurant is not fancy, but the food there is excellent. We can order in advance, and the deli will cook to order, and we can pick it up on the day specified. Sometimes, if we are having a lot of guests on a Holiday we will order Holiday dinners with all the fixins, pies, etc. If we order far enough in advance, we have even been able to order roast stuffed turkey dinners. Be prepared, it is not cheap, but worth it. Be prepared to speak Spanish if you order anything from their deli.
