Here are some more German recipe links from Andrea (Vielen Dank nochmal, Andrea!): German Recipes and Bavarian Recipes. I think it's funny how Bavarian recipes are distinct from German recipes. Reminds me of Canada! Maybe Bavaria is a "distinct" society like Quebec :-) !

Devorah Kahn, one of the organizers of the East Van Farmers Market and also the West End Farmers Market, emailed us with some feedback about our stories on the East Van Farmers Market. Thanks, Devorah!

She gave us some corrections which we will be posting shortly but also reminded us about the West End Farmers Market which is held every Saturday from June 30 to October 6 at the Lord Roberts Elementary parking lot at Bidwell and Pendrell Streets from 10:000am to 2:00pm.

Desiree's Adobo

Submitted by Contributor on Mon, 07/09/2001 - 15:33

Okay, I was recently obsessed with adobo. (My mom makes adobo chicken with a recipe pretty well as the original adobo recipe on VanEats) One of the things I ended up fiddling with was the vinegar. My brother Jo lives close to a Filipino grocery store, and he ran over and picked me up a bottle of "natural" vinegar. This vinegar definitely makes a big difference in the taste of adobo, and I recommend it if you're close to an Asian grocery.

Greg's Ice Cream in Toronto

Submitted by Roland on Sun, 07/08/2001 - 16:10

While we were on vacation on Toronto, we stopped at one of our favourite ice cream places, Greg's Ice Cream.

Since the early 80s, Greg has been making his premium all natural delicious creamy ice cream. Since the mid 80s when my friend Bonnie introduced Greg's to the gang, I have enjoyed his ice cream. If you are ever in Toronto and you love rich ice cream, you must stop at Greg's!
