    I just ordered a variety sample pack from a place. I haven't gotten them in yet, but I've been researching them and now I'm feeling pretty confident that I'm going to like them too. *fingers crossed*

    I get them at the Asian store. They are in the cooler section - the ones I get are in a bag with water. You can also order them online.

    Everyone should give them a try :)

    I got these from my Asian market , but I've also bought them from Sprouts and also Whole Foods (Tx's more healthy stores) . Asian place is the cheapest. at $1.79. Theyre close to Tofu in the refrigerated section. I live in San Antonio , but I'm originalyy from Canada (Vancouver where there is a HUGE asian population), so I'm thinking there is a big asian population in Eastern Canada??? so try the Asian grocery stores.

    www.MiracleNoodle.com will ship. They are 3.29 per bag (but I believe it's a much bigger bag|??? 7 oz. ??? Or check out Amazon.com

    Make sure you
    1. Rinse with hot water
    2. Dry fry in saucepan with a little Pam to get the consistency.

    I just bought some today and can't wait to try them! I live in Dallas and they sell them at the 'healthier' stores like Sprouts and Whole Foods. They were in the refrigerated section by the vegetables at our Sprouts store.

    You can also order them on Amazon. I live in a small town and get some grocery items online.

    I tried these before and didn't have luck. Any suggestion on how to prepare them, what type to get?

    My grocery store keeps them in the produce section next to the tofu...kind of a weird place to keep them if you ask me - but they have 'em and they're great!!

    www.miraclenoodles.com or on amazon. They SHOULD ship into Canada. I'm Canadian myself... from Vancouver!

    These are great and I love them. Warning though - when you first open the package you are hit with a strong fishy smell and I don't like fish. However, the instructions tell you to rinse them. I open the bag and dump them right into a colander and run cold water over them for a few seconds. Then I pat them dry in a paper towel and microwave them for 1 minute. After that, I can use them in ANY recipe and I love them.

    The point is - don't let that initial smell keep you from rinsing them and trying them. They are awesome once you prepare them. Try 'em!

    Also, if you can't find them, make sure you're looking in the refrigerator section with the tofu. I first tried to find them on the pasta isle - wrong! I can get them at Publix and Kroger food stores - in the tofu section.

    Am I the only one who has a huge problem with the texture? I think I was expecting such a different mouth feel it kind of shocked me. I tried the fettuccine shaped shirataki, do different shapes feel different at all? I really am tempted to retry them because I didn't mind the flavor and the calorie content can't be beat.
