Impressive shopping checkout total of $16,69 including 2 big Pollock fishes and cooking oil which could last you a long time, but great shopping and even better items for home.

Glorious croquettes, my late mom's specialty she made supper for 4 boy's for years and years & remember when the potato stuffed bread crumbs balls were in the works by her. I finished all of them on the plate and can't say that for my least favorite food awful tasting Brussels sprouts, even tried to hide them in my pants pocket cause mom knew I didn't care for them and there were boiled which brings out more taste , fresh don't taste as bad just think of the fresh sprout as a mini iceberg lettuce.

In northeastern Alberta or Alberta Canada in general it routinely gets as cold as -40 degrees Fahrenheit & if there a windchill factor your easily looking at -50 degrees & winter is my favorite time of the 4 season climate I live in because you can easily dress down in the winter in the super hot heat wave of summer you can only dress down so much like Golf shorts and that's it & still be overheated which is uncomfortable and sometimes risk of heat stroke which could be lethal if you don't get medical help immediately which happened to me this summer was rescued by 2 stranger's at my apartment complex and the one fellow recognized heat stroke symptoms and help me to my apartment & gave instructions to recover for the next hours ahead but a very scary out of the blue experience, never have problems like this in the winter time but that's much different climate than heat wave summer time. Cary lots of fluids like water when out in the heat & keep hydrated is important. To stave off heat stroke.

Some of the unusual foods people eat in Canada are mostly in season wildlife like rabbits, bear, moose, white tail deer , & when legal the premium hooved deer the caribou. Me I don't hunt or never was a hunter of wildlife, that definitely helps with sustaining the animals from going on the extinct list for future generations to enjoy seeing the live wild animals still alive.

You really checkout Examin the food you'd like to buy, good example being the apple cider liquid bottle, you looked at it up and down side to side & back and forth & noticed lots of sediment which concerned you & put it back on shelf.

No have not tried Eggs with sesame sauce flavor, but might like to, I'm more comfortable with western food that i was brought up on , meat and potatoes type of guy. White Rice & pasta is also a staple at my home.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euIdWKM7JYA&t=1351">22:31</a> yes it's hard to believe that blue looking skewer is made from eggs, nothing maybe for the exterior coating looks a little eggy.
