You can’t have a Manitoban goodie bag without it!

The Greetalia Honey Dill dipping sauce tastes nothing like the Honey Dill sauce you get at the local eateries around Winnipeg.

It isn’t nearly a creamy.

I think that it is _shocking_ that nobody has mentioned the Jeannie’s Cake. Mmmm – love that shortbread crust.

I’m all about pastries. I also favour the cinnamon buns and the croissants from Tall Grass. Have a chocolate croissant from there and see if you can have a bad day. I dare you.

Not a food item, per se, but we like to take guests to the Fort Garry Sunday Buffet. One of the best and biggest anywhere.

Try sticking that in a tote bag.

I like ply visitors with Half-Pints, Old Dutch Ketchup Chips and Dad’s Goodie Rings (which I could never find the four years I lived in Toronto).

Lol ! A great going away gift. That could be a sideline business for you “The WoMH Manitoba Gift Bag”. I’ve had to throw together many a gift for speakers etc. at local events and always have trouble finding something local, and FUN !

If I need a local treat I love Morden’s Russian Mint chocolates. They’re on Sargent and I don’t go nearly as often since they moved from the Convention Centre. Mmmmm….

I know some people who are nuts for Clodhoppers. I like them but can only eat a little bit at a time. Warning: Don’t look at the caloric label !

Coffee — Black Pearl, 460 Dufferin Street
Maybe a smoked goldeye from Lake Winnipeg.

But otherwise, you’ve got a good list there; they’re a lot of the things I try to pick up or indulge in when I come back to visit the folks.
