I go to our Downtown Metro every week and I managed not to notice St.Viateur bagels! I don't appreciate even Torontonian Jewish bakeries' bagels so that was probably why I was never tempted to try the supermarket ones. But I'll be on the lookout now, thanks for the tip.
The bread and cheese selection has vastly improved though. And I've tried cretons but wasn't that impressed to tell the truth.
But Jean Talon - ooooh, the sweet memories! I took home as much stuff as the Greyhound bus would carry - and I also indulged into a cooking frenzy while staying with our Montreal host.
Alas for our mutual friend and the US Customs that as far as I know don't allow any nice foods in at all, even worse than Canadian ones. Although Aussies and Kiwis have the worst deal - especially when it comes to cheese.
And oh for the cheeses of Quebec! Riopelle might be a little over-rated, but Chevalier, le Douanier and others...
