The Great Sweet Potato and Squash Hunt

When I lived in Victoria B.C., I ate muffins for breakfast religiously. 

Now that I live in Calgary, my cravings have switched from sweet to savory

I also haven't found any bakeries that even come close to the ones like

these back in Victoria, so I have been sticking with eggs and toast for now

1 slice whole grain toast topped with 2 slices of natural 

turkey deli meat slices, 1 poached egg and black pepper

The important runny egg, great for dipping into with pieces of the toast

All of you who have been reading Snacking Squirrel for quite some time 

now know how addicted I was to root vegetables, namely kabocha 

squash, Japanese purple sweet potatoes, and purple-flesh yams

I have searched tirelesly for weeks trying to hunt down these sweet potatoes

 and squash in Calgary but could only find white/yellow skinned and 

fleshed sweet potatoes, among the not-so-exciting acorn and spaghetti squash

But it was during my bus ride out to the Forest Lawn area

 that I noticed a large international grocery store, Hong Kong 

Food Market. I knew this would be my best bet, and alas, I found

 my squash and sweet potatoes! And the prices were dirt cheap!

Cinnamon roasted sweet potatoes and squash with yellow

mustard drizzled over a bed of assorted greens and vegetables

 You can find the recipe here

Questions: Are there any foods that you love 

but cannot find or had to temporarily part from 

until you found them again? Ever craved something

 so bad that you traveled all over the city just to find it?
