Good morning! Did you catch the Super Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse on Sunday night? It was the only total lunar eclipse of 2019. And if you believe in the "lunar effect" then you believe that human behaviour is affected by the lining up of the sun, moon and earth. Here at Pepper's, we've put together a pretty great lineup of advertised specials for this week so have a gander at the attached flyer.
And now, onwards to the new stuff!
We're always looking for quality, local products to offer our customers so when the opportunity to add Morning Fresh Free Run Large Eggs presented itself, we didn't hesitate! These Vancouver Island eggs are super fresh and tasty and the price is right, too!
Loads of you have been wondering what the heck happened to Rumble, the (local!) nourishing "supershake" drink. There's been a switch to a more environmentally friendly package, as well as some changes to some of the ingredients. So it'll be better than ever when it finally hits the shelves again very, very soon! Here's a recent release from the company: Rumble is coming!!?? Production of the brand new Rumble supershakes has completed and our distribution partners will be picking it up in the coming weeks. If you don’t find us in your favourite natural foods store in February, reach out to us or ask your local grocer to order it. So keep an eye out in the coming weeks because as soon as it's available again, Pepper's will have it in stock!
"Spread 'em!" Fortunately, most of us will never hear those words spoken directly, unless of course you're asking someone what they're putting on their toast. If they're vegan, there's a good chance they'll tell you they're eating Spread 'Em Cultured Cashew Soft Cheeze. Our Deli Dept. has added three new flavours to their selection: Porcini & Dill, Nacho Cheeze as well as Spinach & Artichoke. Dairy free, gluten free and vegan, these plant-based spreads are full of fresh flavour with a wonderfully creamy texture and they're made in Vancouver. So come on down to Pepper's and Spread 'Em!
Yet another local company is From the Earth, which operates right here in Victoria! They make artisan, locally handcrafted products in small batches such as Organic Biryani Pilaf, Organic Kheer Rice Pudding and Organic Curry Powder. There are no fillers, additives or gluten in any of these premium plant-based, vegan and gluten-free Indian products.
If you're interested in the preceding items then you're probably going to take an interest in this next one. Raincoast Trading Bold Curry BBQ & Dipping Sauce can be used to coat your fish, beef, pork or chicken if you're using as a BBQ sauce or use it to dip gourmet meats and veggies in! The product is blended and bottled right here on Vancouver Island and the company itself is out of Delta, BC. You may already be familiar with their excellent tinned seafood products that are caught wild in Canada's Pacific Northwest (and which we also sell!). Give their website a look to see what Raincoast Trading is all about. www.raincoasttrading.com
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, or so goes the rhyme. What the heck is a peck, anyway? No matter, because if you're like Peter, you've likely picked your own peck (or jar) of pickled peppers (or vegetables, olives or other specialty foods) from Mezzetta, especially if you shop here at Peppers's. And why wouldn't you? They offer amazingly flavourful, healthy, quality, fresh and convenient foods. So when we found out that their number one favourite item wasn't on our shelf (according to their website customers), we clearly had to take action! So Mezzetta Deli-Style Sweet Bell Pepper Relish found a home in our store. It spruces up everything from burgers, dogs, sauces and even creamy salad dressings! You're going to like this A LOT so be like Peter and pick some up, pronto!
Valentine's Day is approaching quickly and we all know that it's all about the sweets. And the colour pink. That's why Create A Treat Valentine's Frosted Sugar Cookies are the perfect treat for your sweetheart, children, secret admirer or anyone else who deserves a little something-something for being so special. Plus, they're just fun to eat! But you don't need to wait until Valentine's Day because we have them in stock right now! And you can also get them in chocolate.
As long as we're on the subject of sweets, you're going to love the new Werther's Original Soft Eclairs! They take their unmistakable caramel, make it soft and chewy and fill it with a delicious chocolaty filling. Or perhaps you'd prefer the Dairy Milk Oreo Candy Bar. Just like the eclairs, it's a soft and chewy candy consisting of vanilla filling blended with pieces of Oreo cookie and surrounded by Dairy Milk chocolate! Think you can have a bite and put it away? As Donny Brasco was fond of saying, "Fuggetaboutit."
That wraps up your weekly Pepper's Newsletter. Stay tuned for another next Tuesday and until then, have a great week!
