Cheddar with Guiness at Oyama Sausage

Submitted by Roland on Sun, 02/16/2003 - 21:14

We finally got around to buying something (as we promised long ago) at Oyama Sausage (604 327-7407) on Granville Island but it's cheese not sausage.

We tried their Guiness flavoured cheddar and are delighted to report that it is fabulous and inexpensive at $3.99 for 100 grams. Check it out.!

We'll be back soon to buy some sausage! We promise!

Mama's Banana-almond-chocolate Muffins

Submitted by Roland on Thu, 02/13/2003 - 08:36

This recipe for banana almond chocolate muffins from Scott in Germany looks great! I wonder if there will be any adjustment necessary since the general purpose flour in Germany in my experience is slightly different from Canadian and American general purpose flour.

One of us will try this recipe and post a follow up!

The room is not elaborately decorated but full of energy as the staff juggles the food fast and furiously.
