I gotta meet a friend in Richmond and was an hour-and-a-half late by the time I got to BC Place. (Sorry, Steven! And thanks so much for waiting!) This year's show is pretty much the same as last years. Ah! Didn't see Saveway there! They had good samples last time! Oh well. And... didn't get to see Rob Feenie close up! Last year I was in line to shake his hand but he had to leave right after I took a picture of him shaking my friend's hand! Aaaargh! No fair! And no hand shaking this year either! Sob sob sob...The more memorable samples are...
- The smoke salmon nuggets are the best!
- The flavored water is weird. It's like pop diluted with water and without carbonation. But actually quite nice with no after taste. However... it's probably gone through some artificial or chemical process as they use "components of the fruit's sugar". I'd stay away from it.
- The "queen of all fruit" (sorry, forgot its name) juice at $40 a bottle ($50 outside the show) is unbelievably expensive. Well, they're selling it as health supplement instead of juice, though.
- And... of course, ya gotta try the chickenless chicken nuggets! They're made with tofu and... hmm... not too bad, but you can tell right away it's not chicken.
- The truffle spread was nice too! It was my first time ever to experience truffle at last year's show. Somehow I forgot what it tasted like. This time it's like condensing 50 cans of cream of mushroom soup into the size of your thumb nail. And a little woody too. Nice.
- The pet food section was interesting. I didn't know dogs are eating better than humans! (Boneless Chicken! Turkey! Buffalo! Wheatless!) And every booth has take-home sample, including the "raw" dog food that needs to be refrigerated. (That's like uncooked meat...)
"Have A Rice Day" car! So cute! (And yup, got their sample bag of brown rice.) And I never imagine making sushi with brown rice! Well, too bad they didn't actually have any sushi sample of that, but I imagine it wouldn't feel right.
A weird sign near the exit. Does this mean the exit is disabled, or an exit for disabled people???Didn't sample any wine this year. Too tired and I'd probably pass out immediately if I did.

I saw the pictures at your blog too! Looks like fun! (But sorry didn't read the details...) I wish I could cook, and nope, haven't taken any cooking class except for the ones in high school. That's one of the things I'd like to do when I get stable income... but I'm still unemployed. Sigh...
Hey, would you be interested in taking a baton? My Japanese blog friend handed me a "self-introduction baton". It's like a list of questions about yourself. I'm sure you've done those throught e-mail before.
Thanks for taking the baton. I'll let you know when it's erady.
I think my body can't take the beating of that field anymore. Sigh... not sure what I should do either. Hmm...
