It has been a few years since we last went to Eat! Vancouver. This year, looking at the interesting lineup of events, we returned as a media and checked out the event at the beautiful BC Place Stadium.

Eat! Vancouver 2014

Eye Catchers

There was a good amount of samples to try, and if you like anything, you had the opportunity to buy them at a slightly discounted price. The following especially caught our attention:

Pulo Cuisine – These are some great marinate. And they’re vegan. I especially like the Lemongrass marinate.

Pulo Cuisine

Pure Infused Maple Syrup – They have some really interesting flavour combinations and they were all very good. I especially liked Chipotle Lemongrass (yes, savoury maple syrup) and Maple Syrup, Ginger & Apple Cider Vinegar.

Three Farmers Camelina Oil – Camelina oil is cold­pressed and it has a nutty, earthy note to it. It also has a high smoke point at 475F so it’s great for cooking and making salad.

Bruce Cost Ginger Ale – The ginger flavour really comes through – and it tastes like real ginger. Original flavour was good, so was the Pomegranate one.

Habibi’s Hummus and other products – The various flavours of hummus were very good. (more…)

Eat Vancouver Part 2 – Likes vs. Mehs

Posted in Culinary Events, Eat Vancouver, Indian, Joyce, Lower Mainland, Lunch, Mr., Vancouver, tagged , , , , , on June 22, 2011| 2 Comments »

(Editor’s note: Here is Mr.‘s take, part 2 of 2 of the Eat Vancouver series.)

The Likes

New India Buffet & Restaurant – Butter Chicken with Rice

This was the first thing I ate at the event. So my judgement might’ve been a little blinded by hunger. I ordered the butter chicken (safe bet I know). I was almost too hungry to really taste it. But I have a feeling it was delicious. Compared to what my friends had, mine was bigger, thicker, spicier, more flavourful, oh and my butter chicken was better too.

I’m no expert in Indian food, but this gets a thumbs up from me. However words don’t mean as much as this empty plate.

Gramercy Grill – Mac & Blue Cheese with Meatballs

Blue cheese in Mac and Cheese? WHAT? For those of you that don’t like strong cheese, (more…)

Eat Vancouver Part 1 – Things I Liked vs Didn’t Like

Posted in Culinary Events, Eat Vancouver, Joyce, Mr., Vancouver, tagged , , , , , , , on June 18, 2011| 1 Comment »

Last weekend, I sent myself and Mr. to check out Eat! Vancouver 2011. The biggest food consumer show in town, Eat Vancouver attracts visitors in the thousands each day. Except for the Pet Food section, we dropped by almost every booth at the event. If you didn’t go to the show, it’s actually impossible to tell you everything, so we will give you a glimpse of what you missed.

Things I Liked

BC Salmon Farmers Association – A huge fan of its smoked salmon nuggets, a must-have at the show. They hand out small pieces of the salmon nuggets as a sample, but you can also pay $2 (or 4 tickets) to get a bigger serving.

Island Farm – They used to hand out free ice cream, but it’s gotten so popular they now charge you $1 for a generous scoop of ice cream. We tried a flavour called “Moose Track”, which is vanilla ice cream with fudge swirls and tiny peanut butter cups. It’s very creamy, a bit rich, and I like the crunch of the peanut butter cups.

Cupanion – It looks just like one of those traveller’s mug out there, but in my opinion, a cooler concept. (more…)
