Fage yogurt by the bucket load
Biscoff cookies by Lotus
LaCroix flavored water
Oscar Mayer turkey bacon
UTZ's potato chips & party mix
I enjoy the Newman's Own frozen pizza's so if its wintertime I will haul some of those back too.

The decline continues...

Passed this place on Yonge near College. I didn't have time to stop but the sign on the window advertises "American style Philadelphia Cheese Steak sandwiches." I am curious if anyone has tried them out yet and how they measure up.

Fever Tree has more flavors...Regular tonic, Bitter Lemon, Light Indian tonic but it's sweeter than Q. Q Tonic is a bit more dry than Fever Tree. I tend to favor Fever Tree because it's easier to find in stores and less expensive than Q.

+1 for NaRoma.

1. Fage (preferably the European made)
2.Skotidakis
I prefer the taste & consistency of Fage. I think the issue with Skotidakis
is that it isn't as widely available as the pedestrian varieties of Astro Greek, Liberté, Oikos, Chobani et al. I only see Skotidakis occasionally at Longos.

I have seen the small fruit flavored cups at Real Cdn Superstore for $1.99. Not seen the full fat plan tubs of it yet.

I too haven't seen the cinnamon powdered old fashioned in a long time. I believe it may have been discontinued several years ago along with the following:
chocolate dip with peanuts
chocolate with coconut
plain coconut old fashioned,
raisin twist(which I liked)
cherry stick
honey stick
sugar twist
and the real cream filled fancies and wedgies

They occasionally turn up at Winners / Homesense in the gourmet foods section.

Thanks for the info. Seems like broth based soups are the way to go.

@JErix "Without question the best pizza I've had in Hamilton".

I would go so far to say it's the best pizza I've had in the GTA and Golden Horseshoe combined.

I've been driving between Oakville & Hamilton about one a month to get pizza at NaRoma since last summer. Whenever I feel like pizza this is the place I have to go. It's worth the mileage and gas. Every pizza is consistently well baked with a nice cornmeal crunch to the crust--we always get the Carne with roasted garlic and caramelized onions.

The prices are excellent the coppia (small) is enough for 2-3 people for under $20.00. They have an ideal location for drivers and walkers by so hopefully they will be around for good while.

I am curious of people's experience with this place. After being told by my co-workers it was the best soup in town I decided to give it a try today. I ordered the West African Senegalese Peanut Chicken. I found it to be ridiculously thick and not in a good way. It is as if they went overboard on the thickening agents. Has anyone experienced this before or are there certain type of soups that are best to be avoided at this place?

Maria's Brasa has closed. I went by there yesterday and there was a 'for rent' sign in the window.

I dined there yesterday for lunch and had the pulled pork sandwich which was I thought was very good as well as the red pepper soup and frites . My least favorite items are the beef tacos and the various quesadillas very ho-hum. The mussels seem to be their popular item although I have yet to try them.

Progresso brand soups are not sold in Canada. Primo soups may be your closest bet.

The same question can be asked of Whole Foods in general. When my local Whole Foods in Oakville opened a few years ago I would shop there at least twice a week sometimes more because the takeaway foods were fresh and well prepared and the prices were decent. They had different products lines--stuff you couldn't find anywhere else and I enjoyed some of their 365 products. Fast forward to 2011 and its a vastly different experience for me now..they have shrunk the portions of the takeaway foods and increased the prices and their product list has reduced to the point where the majority of what I see in the freezer section are McCain products?

+1 for Bistro Biscuits. I can go through a whole package in one sitting.

@murtabek-I feel your pain!! I became a fan of HD pineapple coconut on my last trip to the States. It's currently not part of the HD Canada line up of products unfortunately. Some hounds have found US dairy products at Summerhill market, if you can't find it there your best bet would be to drive to Buffalo and pick it up at Wegmas/Tops/Target or Wal-mart.

Went there tonight for the first time. I ordered wings with two sides cornbread and sweet potato fries. Wings were excellent very meaty and nicely sauced smoke flavor was not as intense as I would have liked but they were still excellent none the less. I lucked out as they just had a fresh pan of cornbread coming out of the oven--it was very moist I would order it again. The sweet potato fries (from frozen) were adequate--would be nice if they did fresh cut fries. The owner/staff person Jean is from Montreal originally and some of the recipes he mentioned are his grandmothers. I will definitely go back even though the location is a bit out of the way for me.

Brown Brothers Meats in SLM make their own chicken/beef/veal burgers I believe you can buy them fresh or frozen.

The Eg&Hwy 10 used to be my go-to location for Licks back in the late 90's til I early 2000's. I used to like the turkey burgers. The owner/manager (big burly guy) ran a pretty tight ship--the place was always busy and very clean, prompt and courteous service. Last time I was at that location in late 2010 its a totally different kind of place..new management/owners not the same level of service or quality of food.

I haven't tried Charlie's so I cannot compare.

Freddy's Kitchen 2515 Hurontario Street Mississauga 905-848-3733 I have eaten from their take out counter and attended a wedding that they catered back in April. The food is excellent--I would highly recommend.

"Wondering how many people in the GTA will be eating $3 day-old (or 2 day-old, or maybe even 3 day-old) cupcakes this weekend! "

I purchased a dozen mini's on Thursday and popped them in the freezer as I want to eat them over the weekend. They suggest you do this if your not going to eat the cupcakes right away...

The patties sold at Ralph's are Michidean brand.

Try Prairie Girl at King & Victoria.

Just walked by this place on Victoria St @ King--it looks brand spanking new. Cupcakes are $2.95 each. Flavors are pretty much standard...choc, vanilla, red velvet etc. I am curious if anyone has tried them yet.

Growing up in the 80's Hostess used to be my fave ketchup flavor chips. Now if I am in the mood I go for Herr's brand--you can usually find them at Loblaws or No Frills.

Had the escoveitched fish with rice and veggies on the weekend. The fish was a good size and was very tender and flaky. They are generous with the sides too I asked for oxtail gravy for my rice and they provided it no extra charge.

Just about every health food store carries it as well as Bulk Barn.
