The latest news on Monday afternoon: a total of 10 dead between
Durham and Gatineau (Greater Ottawa Area on the Quebec side). Still
over 400,000 homes without power in two provinces after 2 days.
Yes it was crazy. Still no power in teh woods either.
Unprecedented.
For sure!
On another topic: My Loblaws store is stocked fiddleheads this
year. They grow wild all around me anywhere its wet but these are
flown in from the Maritimes and cost 12/lb! Crazy.
Laugh! Is anyone crazy enough to buy them? We missed them this year
as we couldn't get to the park in time to harvest.

You do know how retail works, don't you? It's only stocked if there is
a market for it. So, if they're stocking fiddleheads they certainly do plan on selling them.
selling product. I have to explain this to customers with older cars several times per week.

I don't get it though, if they grow everywhere (such as here) why would someone pay for them?

True enough. I get it.

Same reason some pay Campbell's or Progresso for chicken noodle soup in
a can when it's so easy to make fresh at home.

Laugh, true enough. The only canned soup we buy is cream of mushroom
and tomato. The tomato is for me as it's a comfort food, and COM gets used as a sauce a lot. (There is a brand that is GF)

Most of the time my usage of Cream of (whatever) soup is as sauce/gravy
or in a casserole. IOW, it's an ingredient. I've even made "cream of" soups - but that's a LOT of work.
Mostly my soups are like chicken noodle - fast and easy. Or can be made
in big batches and frozen for future reference.
