  • AWESOME! Thanks so much... I've had some pretty good culinary experiences in Toronto in the past, so I'm feeling pretty optimistic about the move so far. These recommendations will definitely help!

  • I celebrate their entire catalogue (I put them in the same family with lychee and longan, is that wrong?). Had a great experience this time a few years ago eating mangosteens in Malaysia just about as fresh as you can get.

  • I learned in Finland that if you pour beer on the rocks it smells like bread. I also learned in Finland that you're supposed to drink in the sauna with your coworkers.

  • It's great to see you've got those classic RD and Kalyanji/Anandji cuts in your mix... Bappi I could do without though. haha! I only use the dialogue at the opening - that track is much, much too much!

  • Is there a reason why Polish ebay sellers won't take paypal? Some kind of banking miscomunications? Lots of times good Polish jazz LPs have been up, but I just can't deal with mailing money orders anymore.
