We came from a city on the coast and now we live inland. We came from a place where hole-in-the-wall, authentic ethnic cuisine reigned supreme, to a land where chain restaurants and dodgy dives flourish. This blog is to chronicle our culinary adventures in region that seems to be a culinary wasteland.

Lvoers The Kamloops Farmers Market
The farmers market is back. Happy times.
What a gorgeous sunny morning for the first day of the Kamloops Farmers Market. This section of St. Paul Street is fairly quiet in earlier hours, but became a bit more abuzz later in the morning.
Eggs ($4.00 per dozen extra large or $3.50 per dozen regular size)
Arigato Sushi - Kamloops, BC
Mon, 04/25/2011 - 06:00 | Lvoers 
Arigato Sushi. I had to step back from this particular entry for a breather and gather my chi before writing this. If you have been reading this food blog since the beginning, you may recall that I have some aversions to eating fish and other seafoods so far away from well, the sea. I know, it’s kinda silly, but that’s what I’m working on.
Sægreifinn The Sea Baron - Reykjavík, IS

Sægreifinn or Seabaron is a little seafood shack on the marina in Reykjavík, Iceland. This is also the place where I discovered my love for malt drinks. I came for the lobster stew. A local resident, I was chatting with earlier in my visit, spoke about this shack passionately.
Lobster Stew (1,100 ISK; approx $9.45 CAD)

**Update July 2011: Bistro 326 is now closed. Terra Restaurant now occupies this space.**
Bistro 326 is a casual dining space located in downtown Kamloops on Victoria Street. The bistro has a small front patio area which I’m sure will be popular when the warmer Kamloops weather finds us.
Bakari Sandholt Bakery - Reykjavik, IS

Bakari Sandholt is a bakery in Reykjavík, Iceland. They have some incredible looking sweet treats, but I’m here for something a bit more substantial. With only four hours or so of daylight during the winter months, I always feel as though I’m eating dinner.

Egils Maltextrakt and the Search for Malt Beverages in Kamloops, BC
Mon, 04/11/2011 - 06:00 | Lvoers 
Fun fact: did you know beer was banned in Iceland until 1989? During Iceland’s prohibition era some non alcoholic or low alcohol beer-like beverages became common in Iceland. Some of those virgin libations are still popular today. One of them is my current obsession: Egils Maltextrakt.
Passek's Classics Café and Catering - Kamloops, BC

Passek’s Classics Café and Catering. I didn’t know this place existed. I happened to glance over one morning as I drove by and noted the $6.95 breakfast sign. Apparently Passek’s has been here for a few years.
