Hello from Yellowknife
Hello from Yellowknife. Marita reporting from the Arctic Circle group, Oct 6/07.
I have no photos as I forgot to bring my camera.My tale is of frustration. I went downtown, uptown & even to a film festival, looking for breaded edibles, but found no “buns”. I ate an “apple-cheese danish” at one of my stops – the popular coffee chain Tim Horton’s (started decades ago by a professional hockey player – it was good, but it wasn’t even round. It was in the shape of a bird’s wing.
At the grocery store (Extra Foods) I found cookies, cinnamon fingers, muffins, pita, & all-kinds of intestine-challenging scones & bread products. I ended up buying a sugar-charged chocolate chip cookie. (Doesn’t count.)
At the Yellowknife film Festival (they were showing THE VENUS THEORY directed by Pasi Toiviainen, & other truly depressing climate change films) they had all kinds of candy, popcorn & even pre-packaged cupcakes. I ate nothing.

We need to do whatever we can to ensure that bunless festivals are not profitable for the organizers. My sympathy is with you, Marita.
Also, there’s an interesting detail here: should we, as the highest authority of bunkind, put out more specific details about the acceptable shapes of buns? We have perhaps been a bit too open-minded with our rules so far.
