Ottawa Foodies

I shop at both the Byward Market and Billings Bridge locations quite frequently, and am always able to find quite a few things to fill up my bag. Both locations have attentive and knowledgeable staff. Such a better alternative then shopping at the big box stores.

Oh, sorry Corneggs. I actually just hate the taste of spelt, even in bread. I've never even tried the spelt samosas because of my aversion to spelt. I'm also pretty firm in my preferences. I'll pick out the fried samosas first and if there aren't very many I'll buy some of the baked ones too.

Well, I got day-olds for 70 cents. They usually sell for under a dollar.

Mousseline, what's wrong with the spelt ones? I actually prefer those.

How cheap is cheap? Samosas *at* Haveli are quite pricey at around $3 or $4 a pair. They charged about 75 cents each for them several years ago at the Allspice Superstore (next door to the Bells Corners Haveli) -- although I heard from Indian friends that this is the "white man price." :-)

I picked up good Samosas for 50 cents each at the Super Sweet Mart on Rochester just the other day.

They get them from Haveli (I've asked). I like these samosas so much that if I spy only 5 or 6 in the basket I'll buy them all, so that the people behind me in line are SOL. Just not the spelt ones. I don't even consider spelt pastry edible.

The nice folks at NFP will also order things in specially for you. I get 1 kg blocks of lactose-free mozzarella and lactose-free cheddar there.

Their samosas are good and cheap. They must get them from somewhere though.
