Starsky
I have this secret love for grocery stores. When I travel, I try to at least visit one grocery store, usually a big chain store because of its category and product selection. I love roaming aimlessly through each lane reading labels and comparing prices – I know, sounds boring but I can spend hours doing this 🙂 In Toronto, there are a number of different grocery stores, some national chains and others that are ethnic specific. Well recently, my friend I introduced me to one called Starsky. Its an Eastern European grocery store carrying a wide selection of meats, sweets, baked goods, and ready made foods. One of their specialties is cheesecake – slabs and slabs of different cheesecakes, cut to whatever size you want and sold by weight! The two slabs I purchased were approximately $10 each – score! To my surprise, these cheesecakes are light, not too sweet and don’t have a crust. They have so many varieties it becomes hard to choose – I’ve vowed to try a different one each time! The strudels and the Paczki (Polish donuts) were delicious too! I will have to try their deli and meats on my next visit which I hope will be sometime soon 🙂

Starsky – traditional raspberry strudel. They sell these in slabs as well so you can purchase any size piece you want.
OMG, you went to Starsky!? I'm so surprised, would have never thought that you're into Polish/Eastern European cuisine... Yes, it's paczki, you're correct! Next time, I'd love to join you, and we should get a poppyseed strudel, simply delicious (just after cheesecakes!)
For sure! Whenever you want to go, I'm game!
