Where can I find black sesame seeds?

I'm pretty sure I saw them at Galleria, a Korean supermarket with several locations in T.O. Newest location, recently opened, at Yonge & Steeles in what used to be Chapters. Also, a fairly new location at Don Mills & Leslie.

Fish and Chips

It looks like no one here has mentioned my very favorite place for fish & chips.

It's the Fry Basket on Yonge, a few blocks n. of Steeles.

It serves old fashioned f & c with great fries. Also has all-day breakfast if you're interested.

Best Party Sandwiches

Juno, everything Sonny Langer provides is on the expensive side. But always beautifully displayed and tasty. He never disappoints.

Copacabana on Eglinton and Mt Pleasant

Tried it for lunch yesterday. There were five of us. For lunch it's $11 for a main course selection, plus salad bar and a few pasta choices. It was very disappointing.

The space was formerly Piatti which was a Brazillian barbeque style restaurant, but with pasta instead of the meat skewers. It was quite good, but too expensive to go very often. The salad bar was fantastic I suspect that Copacabana is a re-incarnation, since Piatti was owned by the same people as Red Violin.

Our lunch was very disappointing. The steak sandwich was not prepared medium-rare as request, was way too salty, and over tenderized. I thought the meat had gone bad.

The salmon was also too salty, and reportedly was not fresh either.

The shrimp skewer was "o.k."

We went there after others raved about the lunchtime offerings, but would not return very soon, if ever.
