My store has it occasionally but irregularly. And none last week
when I had the urge to get some. It does have both taro and cassava
roots all the time which perhaps says something about Yellowknife's
changing demographics.

One root vegetable I did pick up was parsnips which I haven't had in
a long time. I think of them as a fall and winter vegetable but they
were on special so I got a couple. Actually all the winter root
vegetables were extremely cheap while the leafy greens and other
salad things were all premium priced. Very seasonal. But it was just
50 F last night and 60 F today so I'm ready for soups and stews
instead of salads and grilled meats. I ended up buying parsnips,
turnips, kohlrabi and beet root as well as the usual carrots. The
first meal was a Scotch broth made with leftover roast lamb, barley,
split peas, parsnips and turnip (real turnip, not rutabaga).



Cheers

Jim
