Sharp-eyed readers find Bosco syrup
This is one of the primary reasons I never get tired of doing the Taste of the Town column: It’s a great source of surprises.
Last week’s column included an item from a Bosco Chocolate Syrup company representative who said he didn’t believe Bosco was available at any local stores, and that the company Web site (www.boscoworld.com) was the only choice for local Bosco lovers. Well, readers Spencer Kazanow and Jerry and Lisa Bosco (no relation, they assure me) beg to differ, e-mailing that they found it at the new Glazier’s Foods Marketplace at 8530 W. Warm Springs Road. Kazanow and the Boscos note that the store carries a lot of favorites from the Midwest and the East. …
