Out of a Jam and into a Pickle

You'd never find them when driving around. They blend in too well with the commercial environment of ethnic restaurants and businesses along Fraser Street in Vancouver.


Although in British Columbia over nine and a half years, we'd never gone shopping expressly for Sri Lankan food products. Yesterday, we found three, main grocery shops on Fraser Street in Vancouver, BC. These small markets carry otherwise-impossible-to-find items which are manufactured and exported from the island. We returned with a cache of goodies that I've not eaten since several months in Sri Lanka in the fall of 2004.
