We all want to do our part for the planet, right? Hell yeah, we’re no cretins. But beyond recycling and getting on your neighbor for buying bottled water, what can a green gourmand do?How about shopping at two-month old 1 World Trading Co. on Main St., In DTN (downtown nashua folks)? I just got off the phone w/ owner Paul to see just what was edible in his environmentaly friendly, locally made, fair-trade boutique. Maple syrup from Tilton, organic cookies from Windham, and coffee roasted a few blocks north at the Riverwalk sounds like a good start. He’s also commissioned Swan Chocs. (my new home) to make a dark organic bar. i World may be across the street from the chocolate chapel, but they don’t carry what he wants — chocolate in its purest form. More power to him. My pedestrian palatte doesn’t know the difference between organic choc/coffee and really good stuff sans the almighty O. Does your? Seems a tasting is in order. Anyone know of good chocolate/coffee parings? I guess there’s no such thing as a bad one. A green pantry in back has all the cooking herbs your outdoor BBQs will need. Oh and Glee Gum from Rhode Island receives top billing here. Who knew that was a fair trade? Sounds like a kitsch item perfect for a gag gift.1 World’s open to carrying whatever you/we ask for. So let’s ask for bread. Really it’s so hard to find great, artisan loaves around here. No?
