A #CanadianKvetches as I haven't done one in a while.

This isn't as considered as many of my kvetches, and it may be #Vancovuer specific but...

I can't get a gyro in this city. Everything is donair and they say they're the same thing, but they're not, nor are the way they serve schwarma here, which is often as a plate, or a wrap, and not in a pita.

Similarly, no one here seems to serve danish pastry (what I'd just call "a danish"). It's just not served here and what they call danish is what I'd call a strudel, which is a different thing.

I can't get corned beef in Vancouver, at least not good corned beef. Omniksy's does sell it, but it's (sadly) inedible. The owner is retiring this month, so maybe there's hope?

And challah... Breka is a life saver here... They offer challah on Fridays. Sadly no raisin challah, but beggars can't be choosers. But they're *basically* the only ones.
