Good morning! It feels like yesterday that we sent you our weekly newsletter but it's already been seven days since the last one! Time flies and before we know it the neighbourhood ghosts and goblins will be out looking for treats. But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves; we still have Thanksgiving to enjoy. And that warrants a reminder that our store hours will change for the holiday weekend.
Saturday, October 7 7:00AM - 7:30PM (normal hours)
Sunday, October 8 7:00AM - 6:00PM
Monday, October 9 7:00AM - 6:00 PM
Pepper's is proud to carry some amazing products from Cure Artisan Meat and Cheese of Cobble Hill, and just in time for your Thanksgiving entertaining! They're Cowichan Valley's premier charcuterie shop, featuring house made pates, sausages and cured meats as well as a large selection of local and imported cheese.
For all you hot sauce lovers out there, prepare your taste buds for a unique and healthy local sauce by Zing Tang! Born out of a love of spice and a surplus of backyard rhubarb, Zing Tang hot sauce is designed to give you a balance of sweet-heat and sour. Add to to your salad dressing, spice up your marinade or make the best Caesar of your life with this hot sauce made of rhubarb and habanero peppers right here in Victoria!
We have a solution for making your juicing easier! Introducing locally grown Organic Juicing Bouquets. Just as the name suggests, there's a blend of locally grown organic kales, chards and mint sold in a bouquet to make your next juicing session quick and convenient!
Dipping snacks are another convenient choice for adults and kids alike, but they're also something fun to eat! Introducing new Jif To Go, with your choice of either creamy peanut butter or peanut butter and chocolate flavoured spread. They're eight individually portioned cups perfect for dipping pretzels, apple slices, strawberries, celery, crackers, wafers or just about anything else that you might want to dip! Pack 'em in your lunches, in the car for a roadtrip or keep them handy for an afternoon or after school snack.
And finally, we have another exceptional, local line of products to inform you of. Twisted & Bitter is the name of the aromatic bitters produced locally by Victoria Distillers. Bitters are highly concentrated tinctures of herbs, spices, fruits and spirits. They don’t just belong at the bar but have huge potential in the kitchen to add depth and kick to food. Twisted & Bitter are handmade in small batches on Vancouver Island with a copper pot still. Each flavour adds character and complexity to food and drink without sweetness. For detailed descriptions of each flavour, recipes and more head over to www.twistedandbitter.com
From all of us at Pepper's Foods, we wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! See you soon!
