Unless she provides us with more frequent news updates, we are stuck with some filler bagged milk discussion/speculation for now
There’s actually been a lot of news. It just got drowned in milk.
Okay, now that this thread has been moved to Le Cafe, I can finally ask this without contributing to the off-topic:
Some people here have made Ontario sound like a barren wasteland when it comes to finding Slavic food! I thought there were a lot of Ukrainians in Canada? I was considering possibly moving there someday, but not if I can't get buckwheat and dill! So what's the real story?
So I may go to Toronto in September - anyone know of a great Turkish (as opposed to Greek, Middle Eastern, Lebanese, or Moroccan) restaurant? Cheap or expensive is fine. I adore Turkish food but it’s impossible to find in Denver.
Can't say for Toronto, but if you get to Ottawa, head to Topkapi in the suburb of Nepean.So I may go to Toronto in September - anyone know of a great Turkish (as opposed to Greek, Middle Eastern, Lebanese, or Moroccan) restaurant?

Yup, 50 years ago Ukrainian was the 3rd most spoken language in Canada.I don't know about slavic food because I'm never really looking for it, but I would guess it's available if there's a big Ukrainian population. In Ottawa there's a big Lebanese population and there is lots of Middle Eastern food available, both restaurants and grocery stores. There are Shawarma places everywhere actually.
According the the Canadian Encyclopedia, "Ukrainian Canadians are Canada's eleventh largest ethnic group; Canada has the world's third-largest Ukrainian population behind Ukraine itself and Russia". And it sounds like a lot of them settled in Ontario.
There are definitely several slavic restaurants and delis/smaller grocery stores (though can't attest to the quality since I've never shopped there). I'd imagine there's more available in Toronto, just because it's a bigger city.
You can definitely find fresh dill in regular grocery stores here though.
Why, though? You should just drink bagged milk.
Link is jumping to weekly specials (sigh).Well, we do have this. :dev3:

Says something about Canadian commitment to dairy milk that there are competing brands of lactose-free milk, available in skim, 2%, 3.5% and even whipping cream....but sadly not in bags . . .
Do they still sell lactease? Does it work?
