The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly.

Snow.  Cold. Beautiful.

Put on my snow boots and took the 30 minute tram ride to a specialty grocery store for ‘real cooks’ with Lucienne, a Canadian Michelin expat.  And a ‘real cook.’ Pulling our little ‘trollies’ to carry groceries, since you have to carry what you buy.

The Good.  The Bad.  And the Ugly.

I’ll let you decide which adjective goes with which picture.

 Produce from Spain

 and France. Fried pork fat. Feet.  Head cheese (a loaf made from the head and flesh of the animal.  Really.) Brains. Pig ears, feet & cow tongues.

You know what I think about eyes on my food.

 Olives. Fresh from the farm.    Pumpkins. Snails. Nuts. Fresh meat. Candies. More Candies. Don’t know what this is.

 Stuffed pork feet with head parts.

You know what this is!

Ok, this was funny.  There was a shelf labeled “Tex Mex” and I thought, “Oh GOOD!”  But it was all soy sauce and ramen noodles….no enchiladas or tacos in sight.  🙁

So this is what we ended up having for dinner….plus a few good old pork chops (meat that I can identify!)

An adventure every minute!
