Fraser Delicatessen, 6579 Fraser Street, Vancouver, BC 604-321-8575
A sweet German store and delicatessen where I was treated to a care package of: Schlaff-nerven tee, a natural herbal tea to put you to sleep, Goldsaft, sugar-beet syrup that is supposed to taste great over toast and Brandt Rusk which, according to my company, tastes great in milk. I think I will like those German breakfasts this week.

GF is a mishmash of fresh fruit and vegetables, Indian and Asian packaged goods, bulk spices and grains and frozen goods. It is not necessarily my favourite market on Fraser, but I could not resist the Anita's Organic Mill flours. Wonder if Anita Cakes are all made with those?

This place is always hopping. It has one of the largest selection of herbs and spices I have seen in the city and always interesting fruit and vegetables. Today's discovery is Thai Eggplants - green, perfectly round and look like a piece of art. I wonder if they will taste like a piece of art.

Now this is my preferred fruit and vegetable store on Fraser street. They always have the basics, along with great eggplants, zucchinis, cucumbers and okras. But today I found something I have not had in decades - fresh chickpeas. Yes, this is how chickpeas grow, and you can open those pods and eat the green tiny chickpeas as a snack.

Three hours of exploration is hard work and all were hungry. A diversion from Fraser Street to one of my favourite restaurants in the city. Lunch of Jagerschnitzel with potato dumplings and red cabbage along with a Hefeweizen. What a great way to wrap up the adventure. Thank you Empress and Lady for a fantastic adventure.
