I discovered a little shop that sells normal convenience store items but also some incredibly delicious middle eastern delicacies. Some are imported spices and herbs that are hard to find elsewhere. It’s been fun trying new recipes to learn a few basic middle eastern dishes I have never made myself before. I wouldn’t have found this hidden gem if I hadn’t been purposefully seeking non-american variety in my grocery options.
I do privilege Canadian products but my philosophy has been more, “Don’t buy American.”
The Eastern European and the Middle Eastern grocery / deli stores (among others) are magical places.
