Tomatoes freez e wonderfully and make great recipes(Cooked) throughout the winter, herbs also freeze , minced in water in icecube trays. Don't even get me started on frozen fruits, canned fruits etc. AS for Sushi, if you are willing to experiment there is ahull less oat grown in Manitoba which can be substituted for rice, You would have to find a binding ingredient as it is not as sticky as sushi rice.Lemon balm (herb) will give you a citrus hit through out the year.

My husband and I try to eat as locally as possible, I even bought an indoor lemon plant that didn't really fair well under my black thumb. I gave the plant to my mom, where it has flourished. It took 4 years, but we ate our first 100 mile (I guess 30 mile) lemons this year, they (2 of them) were good, if not a bit extreme in effort. 100% sourced in Canada…like Janet, I’d miss citrus, spices, coffee and chocolate as well.

I'll be interested to hear how the limitations - particularly cost and ingredients - determine what you eat. So far - anything new that you're actually enjoying and/or looking forward to? ...I'd have happily helped with the crab-eating project ;-) I think about food a LOT: I’m a self-proclaimed glutton, vegetarian, wine-o (now I could find THIS very interesting in Canadian terms!)

Second - I find tomatoes - out of season - the hardest thing to avoid buying (without tomatoes I would lose at least 3/4 of my fall meals!!). And then, at some point, even the apples aren't from BC anymore and you either have to eat no fruit or buy the closest (sourced) you can get. As far as chocolate goes, obviously you can find lots of BC/Canadian <a href="https://bit.ly/psdTCw" rel="nofollow">chocolatiers</a> but is anyone growing the actual bean in Canada anywhere? I try my best. Meghan First – I LOVED that “colin the chicken” video – so funny!!
