ISO Toorshi pickels

[Herne]

Looking for a retailer in the Bayview Eglinton area

and a review of the pickles would be appreciated as well.

They have a table at the Brickworks Market on Saturdays. Strictly speaking not a retailer but they have the product and it is in area to your OP.

Cheers.

The Toorshi pickles are well made, they use good veg and you can tell, this is not the cast-off stuff a lot of other commercial picklers use.

However they not exactly the pickles we are used to, they are a specifically Armenian style (Toorshi is an Armenian word that means "pickled mixed vegetables") and the flavour profile is quite different than the pickles we usually get, some people love them, I'm not a fan myself but you should try them and see for yourself. if you visit their farmer's market stands they always have samples available. Hratch the owner is a really nice fellow, just don't call the pickled cucumbers "dill pickles".

I think had one at Goody's but I don't actually remember it. Anyway it will make for an outing for a few hours. I'd like to go to the Wychwood Barnes (I grew up not far away) but I'm leery of finding a place to park.

I think we buy them for $8 at Wychwood Barns. We enjoy all of the varieties....including the spicy ones.

[Herne]

Thanks. Can you tell me where you can park near the Wychwood Barnes?

[MeMeMe]

There is street parking all around - on Christie, Wychwood, Helena, Alcina, etc.

And parking spots on Saturday morning?? (*.*)

On the west side of wychwood, there is saturday only parking which doesn't seem to fill up till later in the morning.

[Herne]

Thanks Aaron. North or south of St Clair?

South of St Clair on Wychwood Ave, and they have samples out so you can try them too.

Ok. Thanks for your help. Only rain or the unexpected will keep me away this weekend.

The left side of their web site lists retailers.

They also serve the pickles at Goody's Diner.

Thanks Toronto Jo. Apparently they are sold at Bravo Pizza on Millwood. At $10 a bottle they had better be good but I see Goody's uses them so I'll take the chance. I also see that McKeon sells them and I'll have to check the price next time I take a tour.

Interesting that Goody's and Toorshi's are about a block away from each other.

As it is expected to rain Sat am I decided to buy the pickles at a retailer listed on the Toorshi web site. Royal Beef was sold out and Fiesta Farms was as well. Must be a big seller. So off to Wychwood Barnes tomorrow. Unless it rains
