He was driving home and indicated that he had picked up Egyptian pastrami (basterma) from Adonis. He had visited the Mississauga location.\n\nIt's fascinating that I know about both Adonis locations in Mississauga and Scarborough. I also know that Adonis hails from Montreal. Have I ever visited Adonis anywhere? No!\n\nThis past weekend, I visited the closer one to my home in Scarborough. I normally visit the Best Buy within the same area. \n\nI do not know why I have never visited this supermarket. Perhaps it is because the store is always busy.\n\nIt's like going into food heaven when you first walk in. I felt like I was in the Middle East and Istanbul. Fruit and veggies immediately greet you. They looks impeccably fresh.\n\nIf you are ordering at the counter, get a number from the ticker dispenser. I was mesmerized by all the olives, deli meats, meat, and dessert areas.\n\nThe hot food area has kofta. Yum! I felt like being in Istanbul all over again. I also figured out that it sells my favourite dessert, osmalieh. My boyfriend advised that it means Ottoman.\n\nI bought some potato beef chaps. They are small, but mighty tasty. I also got some mini hot dog pies. I love hot dogs. He does not. An hour later, we were chatting over the phone. When I told him that I had bought a box, I could picture him rolling his eyes. He knows that I love eating them and do not eat them daily.\n\nI am coming back to this place again. I don't know why I stayed away, but I am glad that I finally took the plunge.\n\n(238)"^^ .
