I use Sharwood's Indian products because the alternatives here are
third rate! For Chinese I can do better at Kim's though.

  Subj: Q 608

 ML> locally available tree woods

Edmonton has grasslands to the south and aspen/poplar/conifer
forests to the north. No local hardwoods. One was to go west to B.C.
or as far east as Ontario to obtain decent maple, fruit or nut
hardwoods.  

I have no idea why he chose hickory over oak but I suspect it had to
do with affordable reliable supply as much his taste preferences.

 NB> French's [...] potato sticks,

 ML> a brand of potato straws in a bag [...] harder and julienne.

Canada has a tasty little snack called Hostess Hickory Sticks.
Hostess was the #1 potato chip brand in Canada until Frito Lay took
it over. http://tinyurl.com/hick-stick

  Subj: that too 611

 ML> Dragon fruit is [...] bland and useless.

 NB> interesting for a try, but not worth spending the premium price
 NB> to have regularly..

One of Roslind's brothers has some kind of specialized skill highly
valued by off shore oil drillers and being in high demand globally
has lived all over the place: England (North Sea), Russia, Nigeria,
the Persian Gulf, Venezuela, Brunei and most recently Texas. When he
was in Vietnam he went on and on about dragon fruit for breakfast so
I went out and paid a small fortune for one and was highly
disappointed. He then claimed that Vietnam doesn't export the good
ones!
