Today I found, of all things,  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tortugarumcakes.com\/\">Tortuga Caribbean Rum Cakes<\/a>.  I had never heard of it until a few weeks ago when I started researching my upcoming <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/int\/cayman\/\">Cayman menu<\/a>.  Apparently, these cakes are a very famous Cayman product, known throughout the Caribbean.  I was planning on making a rum cake myself (from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.recipezaar.com\/Almost-Tortuga-Rum-Cake-108524\">this recipe<\/a>), but I&#8217;m thrilled at finding the real thing.  And at Grocery Outlet, no less!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the price is also unbeatable &#8211; $1.50 for the 4oz cake.  Not cheap in the abstract, but  Amazon sells <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000GJQ5C2?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=marga-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B000GJQ5C2\">the 16-Ounce cake<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=marga-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B000GJQ5C2\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/>  for over $13, twice the per-ounce price.  The cake gets great reviews at Amazon and other places.  I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;ll save it for when I serve my Cayman menu or whether I should just eat it and buy more if I like it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love Grocery Outlet, you never know what you&#8217;ll find there.
