The West End in Vancouver is where the “real” people live. The hardworking, everyday kind of people, which makes it the most diverse place in Vancouver. If you go on a stroll up Denman Street, or down iconic Robson, you will encounter people from every corner of the earth. There are many mom-and-pop eateries still in existence and that is a heartwarming thing to see. Those old fashioned cornerstones businesses of a neighbourhood that takes pride in community.

A few ways to use your spice blends according to thekitchen.com
Fish or meat: Speaking of fish, this is another easy way to use any spice mix. Coat fish fillets, rub into a steak, or sprinkle liberally on chicken before cooking.
Popcorn: The first, and easiest, way to enjoy almost any spice or spice mix is to sprinkle on freshly-popped popcorn.
Salad dressings: I like to add spices to a basic vinaigrette.
