Roasted Tahini - who carries it?

My favourite hummus is made with ROASTED tahini, and I used to be able to find it at Whole Foods any my local organic food store. I know that I can use the regular tahini (sesame paste), but it just doesn't do it for me.

Anyone know where I can get some in Vancouver?

What grocery items are not readily available in Montreal?

Yeah, she actually said this week that she hadn't been able to find dried refried bean mix! Now there is definitely an item to send. Any more folks?

Yeah, I know that practically everything can be found in Montreal. Since I am doing up monthly care packages, I figured I would see if there was anything that might be just a little harder to find.

Thanks folks. While I love grits (I even had them shipped to me while living in South Africa in the '80s!), I know she has never even tasted them and so wouldn't be all that enthused about receiving them.

The ice packed sushi would be a waste on her as she is a vegetarian.

I mailed her a package today that consisted of a lot of small dry goods (won't go bad in the shipping process & doesn't weigh all that much.)

Since she JUST moved there, I thought her pantry might be a little bare of all but the necessities, so I put in packets of herbes de provence, garam masala, five spice blend, and dry mustard, a vacuum sealed package of Vij's curry paste, sun-dried papadums, my own special tamari almonds, and a little packet of Cocoa-West organic chocolates from Bowen Island (where we live.)

I am thinking that next time, I will try some dried bean mixes, or wild rice blends, and maybe some dried nori or some other light weight snack.

Any more suggestions to go in the packages? Thanks!
