There's an amazing gourmet foode shoppe near my house (an extra e at the end of a word means it's e-xtra swanky) called the "Cheese Boutique".
I've lived in this 'hood for 7 years and had never been inside til just the other day...which seems weird, but, since it's called the "Cheese Boutique" and I was vegan for so many years, I didn't think the "CHEESE Boutique" would have anything to offer me! Silly me. It's awesome! With something for EVERYBODY!!

If you like cheese, it's got every possible kind...many of which, I've never even seen (or smelled) before. It's also got fresh breads, soups, baked goods of all kinds, organic veggies, desserts...I could go on and on!
And it's HUGE! Like the size of a regular supermarket almost!
And since it's sort of in a residential area (and not on the main drag of Bloor Street where a lot of these gourmet shops are located), it's not crowded either. The shops in business districts have their products JAM-PACKED in order to maximize the space available to them and, as a result, navigating around shelves & the other customers is almost impossible (at worst) and incredibly uncomfortable (at best).
Anyway, I love it!!! I love it so much, if I were Tracy Jordan, I'd take it out back behind the middle school and get it pregnant!
Yesterday, I was perusing the shelves, wandering around, because I had some free time and wanted to check out every bit of their inventory, at a leisurely pace. I wanted to see everything they had to offer and I also wanted to memorize where everything is so that I can be an expert patron of the store. (Everyone needs a hobby).
Oh! Also, you could conceivably eat enough samples of cheese & pickles & crackers & bagels & chocolates & cookies & chips & grapes & cake (etc etc etc) whilst walking around inside there, you wouldn't even need to buy anything! (Not that I'm recommending this...your patronage allows the "Cheese Boutique" to maintain it's fantasticosity!!).
It was a lot of fun. Wheeeeeee!
If you couldn't tell, I highly recommend the "Cheese Boutique."

P.S. As I was looking through an area of canned goods, I noticed a can of something called, "Vegetarian Haggis". Um..WHAT??!!!!
Regular Haggis=Ew (but who am I to judge the Scots...to each their own, just keep it away from me)
BUT.....
Vegetarian Haggis=HUH?!?! What the WHAT?
I don't get it.
Why, why, WHY would anyone want that? <-------------not a rhetorical question
