Frisee in Edmonton?
Thanks chefathome,
I go to the Italian Centre on 51st almost every day and I have never seen the fresh lobes of foie, probably because it never occurred to me to look for it there, being under the impression that the only uncooked meats they carried that weren't frozen were the Italian sausages. I assume these would be found at the deli counter., I will ask next time I am in the store.

Little late for growing it as I was hoping for Thursday dinner. Which Sobey's outside of Edmonton? How far outside? I would be willing to drive to Leduc, but maybe not Calgary.
I meant fresh lobes of foie gras that had me drooling at the Granville Island market in Vancouver, not the canned stuff.
Frisee in Edmonton?
Thanks , Bob,
I too have seen Frisee in those pre-prepared salad fixing (about 1/100th of the total package). In fact the produce guy at Planet Organic didn't know what it was an frankly doubted there was such a thing until he saw frisee as an ingredient in one of the pre-packaged salad things.
I spoke with the produce manager at Save on Foods and he said he hasn't seen any since he was at Urban Fare. One would think that the farmers market would try to have some unordinary greens We are really in the boonies in Edmonton with respect to ingredients. See my previous post looking for Nicoise Olives. (Which incidentally I did eventually find jarred at the Italian Center south - but it is rare). Any body seen any foie gras available here?
Frisee in Edmonton?
I have been wanting to prepare a Salad Lyonnaise (frisee, bacon, poached egg) for some time now, however, I have been unable to find any frisee. Have tried, the market, Italian Centre, Sunterra, Planet organic, Save On Foods, etc without any luck. Does anybody know of a source for this ingredient? I have made it with endive or chicory, but not the same.
Nicoise olives in Edmonton?
Thanks, Bob. I'll call Paddy's. I recall now that the place I bought the Nicoise olives at is the Salt Spring Island Cheese Co, http://www.saltspringcheese.com and Paddy's does sell some of their cheeses.
Nicoise olives in Edmonton?
Does anyone out there know of a source for Nicoise Olives in Edmonton? The big supermarkets don't carry them and neither does Sunterra Foods or the Italian Centre. Is there a grocery store catering to the French population? Not that I've searched, but the only place I know for sure you can get them is this cheese place, whose name escapes me, on Salt Spring Island.
Horsemeat in Edmonton?
