I have just returned from visiting Vancouver(and family)…and of course I checked a few grocery stores. In the local SaveWay the fresh produce was labeled…but not the fish. Though one can assume their salmon is BC salmon. Right?
The nice little gourmet shop “Meinhardt” did not label anything. They have a deli, fresh produce, and lots of packaged foods. Since they are gourmet, the products are from all over the world. I did not expect a lot of local food…but I did think they would label the country.
My favorite food store in Vancouver is Capers. It is an organic grocery store which also has a deli, bakery and lunch counter. I love having my lunch there….they always have hot soups, salads, sandwiches, along with the best looking sweet selection I have ever seen. They labeled all their products.
Their fresh fruit and vegetables are split between BC and California. There were a few items from Washington..and Hawaii. I am not sure I have ever seen anything here in NB from Hawaii…but then…this was the west coast. I liked how they labeled what part of BC the products were from. I also liked their huge selection of apples. Wow. I bought Pink Ladies and Gala. I think there are four Caper stores in BC. I go to the one on 4th. It is the best place to shop, eat….or just buy a coffee and sit by the window watching people.
Check it out…….and their recipes.
