Ok so I'm looking for two things:

A good place to get chicken liver pate.

And where's he best place to pickup gluten free bread. Tasty and reasonably priced.

Anyone?

I've been hoping to see a box of Betty Crocker Noodles Romanoff since 1982.

A good place to get chicken liver pate.

My grandmother made the best chicken liver pate. Unfortunately I think she took the recipe to her urn, and subsequently the flower garden with her

If you are looking for retail and not restaurant, Choux Choux is the place to go I would think.

Gluten free bread? I'm not too familiar, but every talks about Origin Bakery on Pandora in Stadacona centre.

Seconded for Choux Choux.

Doesn't Wildfire do gluten-free bread?

Never been to this Choux Choux place. Nor have i been to Origin. Thanks Matt, I'll check it out.

[G-Man]

Choux Choux is also great for lunch.

Choux Choux will blow your socks off if you like meat and meat products.

I happened to be at the guitar shop on Fort today and next door, low and behold, is Choux Choux. I purchased 100 grams of "Porcini" liver pate.....only because I read about this here.

Man oh man......seriously.....it was good....now it's gone....come to think about it....so are my socks.

What kind of liver is that?^ pork or chicken or...?

They told me it was chicken liver with a hint of mushroom. Don't say I didn't warn you.

^^ Sorry for the flash....curved glass.

[gumgum]

Damn! I'm going tommorow.

^ Goes nice on a "Ace" mini baguette crisps from Thiftys....and a glass of wine.

^I never did go there. I had to leave town last minute the following day and then forgot about it. I will find the time this week. I don't how I could have forgotten though.

Anyone know where I can find organic grass fed beef in town?
Incidentally there seems to be only one or two places that farm grass fed beef on the island. And the one that had a living website had all their beef sold out.

[Sparky]

^ Don't worry gumgum, it's still good and they still make it. Do try and get a nice crisp of some kind to have it on. I am also leaning towards a white Zinfandel with this pate these days.

The butcher in Quadra Village has fantastic halal beef, and many other meaty items!!!

Grass fed? I bet you can find some frozen at the Root Cellar, maybe call any of the butchers in town to see what they source.

Matt.

[G-Man]

I believe that the beef at Quadra Village is grass fed. I actually saw some at Fairways the other day too.

[gumgum]

Thanks for the beef tips. I will look into those.

But first things first. I had a chance to check out Choux Choux and I was very impressed. I picked up some delicious non-pasteurized soft cheese from France, Turkish dried olives, some sweet hot mustard, a beautiful fresh baguette and of course a inch of their duck liver pate.
One word: fantastic. Thank you Matt R, BlueFox, G-man and Sparky for pointing this place out! Although expensive, you can tell that they source only the best.

And the pate...on a fresh baguette. Mmmm. Life doesn't get much better. Eating really good food is an experience never to be taken for granted!

Going back this week for more goodies.
