Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-
Inuvik [...] fusion restaurant
I was surprised that this wasn't an April Fool joke;
OK, I made up the part about curried seal poutine and beluga whale
kababs but the rest of the story is true. Inuvik can anticipate
some interesting Jamaican and Pakistani food every Saturday.
an interesting endeavor and more power to them.
They get to test the market for a very small investment and keep
their regular jobs. I am seeing more and more ethnic places starting
up inside other more mainstream places on just Saturdays or Sundays.
It's a win/win for everyone. The established restaurant gets a
little help with the rent on a day they are normally closed, The
startup doesn't have a huge equipment loan and the public gets two
cuisines to sample.
In Yellowknife, the owners of a downtown diner/coffee shop that did
breakfast, lunch and early suppers but was closed evenings and
Sundays rented out the place Friday and Saturday nights to a British
chap who specialized in Anglo-Indian vegetarian curries (his day job
was in IT) and Sunday afternoons to a Filipino couple who served up
pancit, bubble tea and halo-halo, Both those little businesses grew
into full time restaurants eventually. One of them took over the
diner when the owner retired.
no sooner did I defend leeks here as an affordable allium
worthy of consideration than the price jumped up [...] $4.99
for three skinny little short ones. So they're off the menu
Are leeks a mainstream enough product to sustain
a year-round market? This may be a seasonal issue.
Nope they're a year round thing and they were generally pretty price
stable in the past.
Re: Fireball Cinnamon Whisky,
Your bad, I think. You should have known.
I wanted to re-create a complex Serious Eats punch that called for
Becherovka which is not available here.
Aloysius Percival McGillicuddy's Cinnamon Schnapps
a fictional character dreamt up by the Seagram's marketing dept.)
And Aura was disappointed to learn that Yukon Jack wasn't a real guy
either.
I wonder why the booze industry relies so heavily on fictional
characters
Perhaps because the creation of Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben and Betty
Crocker were all successful marketing campaigns?
the recent odious Tony Sinclair
I had to look him up. Very odious indeed.

But I do find him amusing. He even induced me to try a six pack.
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Canelita - Cinnamon Shooter
Categories: Beverages, Alcohol, Latin amer
Yield: 4 1/2 c
7 Cinnamon sticks
3 Cloves, whole
2/3 c Sugar
6 c Water
1 1/2 c Aguardiente, 50 proof
This is one a mistela, drinks made by boiling a fruit or vegetable
in water with sugar, and later adding aguardiente. This is a cane
alcohol that is usually 50 proof found in Chile and other Latin
countries. Mistelas are generally drunk as a bajativo, or
after-dinner drink, and are served in shot glasses.
Boil the cinnamon sticks, cloves, and sugar in a pot with 6 cups
of water, over high heat. The liquid will reduce considerably and
gradually take on a brownish-red colour. When it has taken on this
colour , and there is a pronounced cinnamon taste to the liquid,
after 40 to 45 minutes, remove the pot from the stove. There should
be approximately 3 cups of liquid. Let the mixture cool.
When it has cooled, strain the liquid and discard the cinnamon
sticks and cloves. Add aguardiente according to how strong you
want the drink. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate until chilled.
Serve cold.
