Toronto food bloggers are getting into tasty local produce this week. At Recipes For Trouble, Marusya compares the growing seasons of Ontario and California and bemoans the end of Ontario strawberry season. Psst - there's a vendor at Nathan Phillips Square and Metro Hall who grows everbearing strawberries. I've got some in my fridge right now, and she generally has them straight through until October! Meanwhile, Catherine of Sugar and Ink ponders the Melon de Cavaillon. Crack it open! They're awesome!

Catherine also experiences a pushy and uninformed fish clerk in a post where we all share horror stories about cod worms in the comments. mmm... worms.

Elsewhere in the blogosphere, Daphne of Edible Tulip reviews Torito, and points out that, despite a recent foodie fuss, it doesn't matter if the owners are not Spanish. Which is true; Greg Couillard is known for his Jump Up! soup, but he's not Jamaican, I once worked in a French restaurant where most of the kitchen staff were Sri Lankan, and there are half a dozen punk-rock Mexican places with kitchens staffed with Caucasians. All that matters is whether the food is good or not.

And since we're on the topic of authenticity, Meena at Hooked on Heat reminisces about Indian street food and offers up a recipe for Tandoori Chicken pops.
