Foodists is a collective of like-minded food worshippers. We breathe and sleep in order to eat and drink. Have something to share with us? We'd love to hear from you. If it's something to eat or drink, even better.

It’s Saturday night and I find myself consuming a healthy plate of pork and beans. But this isn’t your typical Libby’s beans out of the can. The comfort food I’m talking about is part of the menu at…

Everybody and their uncle has their special chili recipe, and they all swear theirs is the best. They all claim to have a secret, be it an unexpected ingredient or some special cooking technique. Well, to that I say…

Oh wow! This is so so so good! Thank goodness I didn’t order the hot version as the medium- spiced roti is currently setting a “delightful fire” inside my mouth. I’m not sure what I really expected, but as this is…

It’s been a year or so since I last visited this great store on St.Johns Street in Port Moody. After walking in I said hello to the owner who was busy working in the back. When she emerged she said “Hi, I haven’t…

My buddy Handsome Rob (not my name for him – not that there’s anything wrong with that) took me salmon fishing out of Sooke on Sunday without much expectation. The big springs had moved through already, and he…

Is anyone else sick of ‘new stuff’ for the kitchen? I’ve had it. Plastic, ‘ergonomic’, basically disposable junk is making me mad. It’s not just the big dopey ‘slow kid…
