| - This is going to sound a bit random but... pies. It's a huge relief that we found Tau because of pies. Specifically, Amy's Kitchen broccoli and cheese pies.
Let me explain a bit more: my daughter has a corn allergy and it's difficult for us to find quick, easy to make, packaged food that is filling, corn free, and safe for her to eat. She loves and eats these tiny little pies like candy. Normally, they're not hard to find, Amy's is a brand that is completely engrained in Natural and Regular food stores all over Canada and the US. In most cities, you can easily find entire sections filled with these pies... and other corn safe food.
But, not in Pierrefonds. When we first moved to Montréal, we discovered that many of the foods/brands that we took for granted in other cities were simply not available in Québec (or so we were told). I was told by one store (Provigo) that if we wanted many of the corn allergy safe brands that we'd have to drive to Ottawa to get them. It was like being thrown back 7-years to a time where we were pre-making all our food every week from scratch and freezing it... and driving to several smaller shops to find ingredients.
When a friend told us about Tau, it was like being thrown a life line. They're similar to Whole Foods in the brands they carry; and, they also go around to the local businesses and bring in homemade food (many of it corn free). From here we've been able to learn more about our community and local corn-safe businesses.
To be able to shop for food without having to worry is a tremendous gift and for that reason we love Tau. For my daughter: they have a wall of Amy's products including her beloved broccoli and cheese pies.
