Guest guest Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I found a gourmet site today and was ordering some cornichons (I had never heard of them before but they were little bitty pickles in vinegar. It was called for in a recipe by Alton ) and was going to get some capers and some pepper jelly and some apple cider jelly and then some cheeses. My order was about $51 and it cost $4.95 for insulated packing (for the cheese) and then $16.95 for postage so it was over $21 for shipping. If I bught just the cornichons at $4.95, it was $6.95 or $7.95 for shipping so it was over $11.00 and didn't need the insulated part. I just cancelled the $51 dollar order. I figured I'd try to go to Boca Raton to see if they had a kitchen store or a specialty store or gormet store. It made it too expensive for me at over $71 for the order. I thought the cheeses were interesting as well as the jellies and the little pickles. They were used in a potato salad. .
