Pomi they are from Italy and are in a vaccum sealed foil lined

This is a great product. If Pomi is not available anything that says San Marzano is awesome.

Anybody ever cook with "Muir Glen" tomatoes?

Not their tomatoes, but I recently bought some of their vodka pasta sauce at Big Lots ($1.30 instead of $4.99) and it was the best jarred or canned pasta sauce I ever had. I now wish I had bought every jar they had.

great with corn chips

Went looking for San Marzano Tomatoes today. Only found the 'Cento' Brand of San Marzano.

Does anybody know where I can find some 'Pomidori Pelati' San Marzano Tomatoes in Baton Rouge?

The absolute best canned tomatoes are definetely Pomi available at most stores including Fresh Market and any San Marzano tomato is a very, very close second. I have a couple of Italian business associates who visit often and they introduced me to both brands and were suprised to find them here in most stores they visited.
