Foods Wanted

This is a list-in-progress of foods which participants in the 100 Mile Manitoba diet are interested in eating.

We want to know how many people are interested in each, so that we have a rough idea of the importance in finding sources.
We do have sources for some of these items, so look for information coming soon.

See FoodLinks for some websites to visit and DiscussFoods to discuss and provide more info on items.

Please feel free to edit this page, add additional foods, add your name to existing foods, etc.

The "particulars" column is there for things like "organic". i.e. you are only interested in organic lentils, create a new lentils line in the table with "organic" in this column.

If you know some local sources, please add this information to help the sourcing group compile this information.
