Warning - General Mills bought Liberté yogurt, it's now Yoplait crap for premium price!

General Mills didn't buy Liberté. They bought Yoplait and Liberté came with the package. Maybe they just have no idea what to do with the brand.

Best cold cuts in Montreal

Queue de Cochon has a nitrate-free ham, but I'm not certain if it's organic. It is truly nitrite/nitrate free so it doesn't have any celeri extract. You can expect it to go grey and not keep very well.

Their jambon blanc is also very good and they have other great charcuterie.

Can anyone confirm or deny the closing of Influences on Van Horne where La Chèvre used to be?

I've been going by there and seeing no signs of life, but I'm never there during peak dinner hours. One thing Iv'e noticed is that they are still advertising their Easter special in their window.

What's new Montreal??

"It now serves French brasserie food"

Unless things have changed very recently, the menu at Square Dominion is actually more British-inspired.

A Burmese place? That's intriguing. I've never had Burmese food and know next to nothing about it. I suspect most Montrealers are in the same boat. I hope there's enough of Burmese community here to support this place.

It's still happening to me, too. On Safari 6.0.4 on OS X 10.8.3. I made sure to flush my cache and all my cookies, as well as turn off AdBlocker and my other extensions.

Best store-bought hotdog?

In my opinion the best store bought hot-dogs in Montreal are the Kirkland signature Polish sausages at Costco. The regular all-beef hot-dogs are also really good, but both are just so damn big.

I haven't had a Hebrew National in a while. I thought they weren't available anymore. I should go check my local kosher store.

La Louisiane on Sherbrooke: Yay or Nay?

I haven't been in over three years, but I stopped going because the food kept getting worse. It's also really expensive.

BYOBs on Rachel E.

There's Les Infidèles, Au 917 and Le Flambard. Last time I went to Les Infidèles was a few years ago and I thought it was fine, but nothing special.

Not to get all finicky, even though that's exactly what I'm going to do, but L'Eixample is a district not a neighbourhood and Paco Meralgo is in L'Antiga esquerra de l'Eixample whilst Casa Milà is in La Dreta de l'Eixample.

And it's not just a line on a map. When you do the walk from one place to the other you do feel like you are going from one neighbourhood to another, notably when you cross Balmes. That being said, it's not a very long walk. Google maps puts it at 13min and 1.1Km.

The coconut flavour has skim milk and whey in it, there's a chocolate yogourt one, and there are flavours with cream, but I haven't yet seen those in Montreal.

Reply window very slow to expand

I think I've figured it out. It looks it's AdBlock that's creating the problem. I guess i'll turn it off for this site and hope it doesn't get too annoying.

Thanks for your help.

Yep, it still takes forever for the window to expand. Right now, I'm writing in a window that is only two lines and the beginning of my text is unreadable. I can't even grab the corner to expand it manually.

...

And now it expanded after about two-minutes.

Berkshire Pork

Fruiterie du Parc is indeed in Les Galeries du Parc where it also goes by the name Eden.

I think the place kpaxonite is thinking of is Marché Lobo.

Just as a reference for future readers, the Fira d'Artesans de la Plaça del Pi is only on the first and third weekend of the month and on certain holidays. I believe the Mercat del Art de la Plaça de Sant Josep Oriol follows the same schedule.

I like your list of addresses on Carrer Mercè. those are some of my favourite places in Barcelona.

I would make a few corrections to what you wrote: it's pescaditos and patatas bravas or patates braves in Catalan. Also Paco Meralgo isn't that close to La Perdrera. It's in another neighbourhood.

You can't do that here. And this is not a site for advertising your services either.
