It was thin but was generously and tastily stuffed. The crust had a good texture - light & flaky. Banana had the same good crust and was also generously stuffed with rich, creamy banana & dulce de leche goodness. They also have cold baked empanadas to bring home, but they're the same price and have tax just like the hot ones. Go figure.

BUT for the rest of you culinary connoisseurs, drop by this St. Lawrence Market butcher shop to diversify your pallet in unexpected ways! The folks at WhiteHouse offer a large variety of exotic games meats. Their games meats include: venison, buffalo, caribou, Berkshire pork, wild boar, kangaroo, crocodile, musk ox, camel, goat, and rabbit. They also have a variety of birds: pheasant, partridge, duck, quail, cornish hen, guinea fowl, squab and ostrich. You can order your meat in several convenience cuts, including burgers and sausages. I personally tried the crocodile and the kangaroo sliders. The crocodile was the most novel of the two meats for me. The meat's texture was somewhat like a mix between a soft pork and the flakiness of most fish. The flavour also had a somewhat fishy tinge to it, but you should try it yourself for the full experience. On the other hand, the kangaroo meat was much more similar to what you would expect from your typical beef. Its texture is fibrous, and the flavour has a hint of barbecue. I could definitely see myself enjoying kangaroo on a regular basis. (Anyone want to move to Australia???) Drop by WhiteHouse Meats for a new food adventure! But recognize that you'll be paying a premium for the experience. It's not like you're going to find ostriches just outside your backyard.

Sanagan's Meat Locker is not just a Butchery, but also a market that showcases many high quality artisanal and local products. Their meats are always high quality and enhances whatever recipe you are using. There's also an educational aspect to Sanagan's. If you subscribe to their newsletter, or buy Peter Sanagan's book, you learn so much about what cuts of meat to use with what types of dishes, you discover hidden gems in cuts of meat, not to mention fantastic recipes. I had never heard of flat iron steaks (one of the most tender cuts of beef and very affordable) before Sanagan's and now it's a staple in my household. You are also able to order cuts of meat that are not available at the counter (I ordered duck hearts once) as well as order ahead online. The housemade sauces and charcuterie made by Sanagan's are also delicious. They might be slightly higher priced than supermarket brands, but they're highly worth it. Everyone is also super friendly and helpful at Sanagan's, you just know that they're being treated well there.

Oh by the way, did I mention my husband was Italian? He knows knee caps pretty good. Budda boom budda bing. I'm a shopper who should come with a warning sign that reads "You fuck up my meat and I'll fuck up your meat". Witteveen Meats is my go to place for meats when I'm making my Saturday morning grocery run at the SLM. The meat case is absolutely pristine and that is a big selling point for me. Even on the customer side of the glass you'll rarely seem any smudgy finger prints. Meat cleanliness is an important sign and tells me that these are people I want to do business with. It was a frosty Saturday morning when my kindred spirit in meat, Shari M. and I hit up the SLM to stock up on our provisions and meat was one of them. I have been tutoring Shari in the fine art of making Bolognese sauce so she needed her some extra lean ground beef and some lean ground pork. I steered her in the direction of Witteveens which was perfect because it was kitty corner to the table and chairs we had managed to snag while giving some mouth to mouth to an absolutely perfect, juicy and fully loaded back bacon on a bun from the Carousel Bakery. Witteveen Meats is one of the largest, if not, the largest purveyor of meats in the SLM. They sell some beautifully stuff pork loins filled with everything from fresh rosemary to dried fruits. Their French prepped lamb racks are a thing of beauty. Korean short ribs are fucking amazing and only take 3-4 minutes on the 'cue. There is every kind of beef imaginable available on the butcher counter. Price is accordingly scaled....tenderloin, grain fed, Alberta beef, it's all over the place. Yesterday they had strip loins on for 8 bucks a piece. I bought two and turned them in to Beef Strognoff, enough for two meals. I also picked up a fresh air chilled roasting chicken for ten buck which is about to get sodomized with a beer can and strapped to the Weber later today. The best thing about hanging out at Witteveen Meats on a Saturday morning is the chance to have some potty mouth exchanges with Toronto Maple leaf hockey legend and all around bad ass guy, Eddie "Clear the track....here comes" Shack. He had Shari and I just splitting a gut laughing. Meat and laughter together, What a great way to warm up a freezing winter day.

So I walked into the St. Lawrence Market this morning looking for some grass fed beef liver. I was…read moreimmediately drawn to the Witteveen's store by the giant poster that advertised local, organic, antibiotic-free, and grass fed meats. I asked one of the employees if they had any grass fed beef liver, and he said their beef liver was from cows that were grass fed and then topped off with grains to add in some fat. I then asked if he was 100% sure that it was grass fed. He checked with his co-worker who also assured me that it was indeed grass fed. I purchased 1.8 Lbs of liver for $28.62 believing that it was grass fed. Once I returned home, I visited the website of the farm that produces the meat. To my utter disbelief, the farm openly states that their meat is corn-fed. I immediately called Witteveen back and enlightened them on the fact that their meat is NOT grass fed. The responses, as I anticipated were "Oh, we were told it was" and "we didn't know" and "the owner is not in today but you can call back on Monday". Needless to say I retuned the liver to the store and got a full refund. As a goodwill gesture, they offered me free meat to make up for the lie. I politely declined and left the store. I later visited Wittevens website which turned out to be equally misleading. The website suggests that Witteveens is a 5-generation old dutch family run company. It's not. It's owned by a guy named Sainu Kanichirakal - clearly not from Holland. I am ok with the fact that they don't sell grass-fed beef liver (it's very hard to find), but don't BS your customers!
