Right now!
 
I'm listening to Steve Wright in the Afternoon - from last Thursday and I must say the Oldies are Fab, I'm cooking a Jamie Oliver recipe (for the 1st time) and guzzling a glass of wine (I know it's early) and at this minute bopping to metal guru:thumbsup:

Can you find Creme Fraiche in this country and where are anchovies if they are not by the tuna and sardines?????:eek:

I get creme fraiche at the cheese store. I don't eat anchovies but I'd look at the fishmongers.

Round here tinned anchovies are not with the tinned fish, they're next to the fresh fish counter! Hope that helps you locate them in your supermarket ;)

The St. Lawrence market has multiple cheese stores, alas it's in Toronto. I know you're a bit buggered for food in Nova Scotia as one of my kids went to university in Halifax and we had to send her most everything. Still I'd think you could get creme fraiche down there, it doesn't use imported ingredients. Have you asked at Great Ocean?

I have never heard of Great Ocean - what is this place? Failing that can't you just send me some from Toronto? :)

You get them in the food shops. Do you think Creme Freche and anchovies are uniquely English?

I've used the low fat sour cream from Safeways in a few of my dishes - can't taste the difference .... :)

Creme Fraiche is sometimes available in Calgary Co-op. I've had the best success at the Dalhousie store. It's made by Liberty and is in the same section as sour cream.
