Re: FW: GG: arrowroot biscuits

     Arrowroot cookies ("biscuits" if you are in the U.K.) are 
     readily available at the supermarket in the U.S.  People 
     have sometimes given them to me as a joke because they know 
     how much I like G.G.  I cannot remember the brand name I 
     have seen but you will have no problem finding them.

Hi, Junichi:
     
Re:  Arrowroots
I believe it's a Canadian phenomenon.  Growing up in southern Ontario
     
(about 60 miles southwest of Toronto) I too loved to munch on Arrowro 
ots.
With regard to your questions:
     
1.  I think that Christie's *is* the only company to market Arrowroot 
s.
    They may have trademarked the name.
2.  They are well-known in Ontario and I would assume that Christie's
     
    distributes them across Canada.  I doubt that they are available 
    here in the U.S. (I'm in Nashville), but I'll have a look next ti
me
    I'm at the supermarket.
3.  You might search the Web to see if either Christie's or Loblaw's
    has a site from which you could order these cookies.  Loblaw's is
     
    a large food chain based (I think) in Toronto.  I'm sure they sel
l
    *lots* of Arrowroots buscuits.
     
Happy snacking.  I think most people who grew up in Ontario have fond
     
childhood memories of Arrowroots and cold milk!
     
Best regards,

After the mail, he also told me to 
"try Zehr's markets 
(they are owned by Loblaw's)
in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario".
     
Now I try the search for arrowroot biscuits.
I will post a report when I find a way to purchase them. 
Thank you John.
