Our local grocery chain, Dominion (William Shatner did their ads, way back when -- "It's mainly because of the meat!") was taken over by a Quebec chain, Metro, a couple of years ago. Suddenly we can buy cretons and St Viateur bagels (but no rillettes, alas).

I love the Marché Jean Talon -- the only problem was being a tourist and therefore not being able to buy much stuff to take home and cook. Oh -- there's a cheese shop at the Jean Talon that's absolutely fabulous.

Now I want to go back to Montreal. Damn.
