What the right hook-up can get you

Shopping for duck eggs, raw-milk cream and summer sausage on the

foodie black market

The customers arrived one by one on a rainy Saturday morning at the

secret meeting spot, a parking lot tucked behind a video store in a

suburb of Toronto. There were 30 families in all: the mother of six,

wearing a hijab, who made the three-hour round trip in her minivan to

collect 30 litres of milk ($60 plus $20 for delivery), the middle-

aged man in a red Nissan Versa, a couple of young urbanites who rose

at 7:30 to get there in time. They’d made the trek, as they do every

other week, for the big glass jars of raw milk—and whatever other

illegal treats their supplier might have for them that day...

Hah! Love the photo of black-market eggs and milk being offered from

inside the farmer's coat...
