 Finding lemongrass in Istanbul? We checked out a few groceries stores while we were in Istanbul for our look-see. I looked everywhere for fresh lemongrass and couldn't find it anywhere. Anyone have any ideas? I can always bring over some canned minced lemongrass (we're moving next week), but it's not quite the same.

Spices were traditionally sold in these little shops with burlap bags full of all types of dried herbs and spices. I have actually seen lemon grass in one of these stores and I remember being surprised to see it. But I can't remember where. I will keep an eye out for it.
