Strathroy, Ontario, which has a population around 24,000.
I visited 4 businesses in Strathroy today.
Strathroy Deli and Dutch Shop, where I purchased some Gouda, Dutch coconut tarts
spices, blackcurrant concentrate, and a few other things.
I like taking photos of various Dutch groceries.
.
Alla’s Restaurant, a Ukrainian resto and café opened by a Ukrainian woman who immigrated to Canada a few years ago.
I bought some borscht and 3 types of pierogi.
The cottage cheese and potato pierogi, that I prepared for dinner tonight:
Art’es Bakery, a Portuguese bakery I have been visiting for years. I bought a Palmier and Flan today, as well as a ham and cheese turnover. Cash or debit only.
Hamilton’s Bakery, an old-fashioned bakery selling traditional Ontario baked goods, reflecting the English heritage. I bought some date oatmeal turnovers and oatmeal raisin cookies. Hamilton’s Bakery has been in business since 1946.
Some places I will check out on a future visit:
Tia’s Place Portuguese Restaurant
The Mexican Colombian shop
