My local grocery store labels its cheese scraps “hodge podge fromage” and I think that’s just great.

Boycott U.S. products / services
My partner noted black tarps covering U.S. wines was removed - shelved items replaced with non-American products.
I was initially worried (when she told me) that the U.S. products were back ... NOPE! ️

Boston/Cambridge/Somerville peeps:
If you need a futon, or anything futon-adjacent, I want to give a HUGE shout out to Bedworks in Central Square.
Yes, I'm sure you already know about them and I know they've been there forever and I know they're practically an institution (I think I bought my first futon couch from them in the 80s?)...
but it was just *such* a lovely experience to go in and buy something local and spend the time having a lovely extended conversation with the staff person there (wish I'd gotten his name!)

The small private #tariffWar: It was extremely easy for the pre-Eastern #shopping not to buy any #USproducts. The hypermarche has even started to sort out some products because people #boycott them. #buyLocal #boycottTrump #buyRegional
It’s my first columnaversary as CBC-KW’s food columnist! What better way to celebrate a year of exploring local foods than with maple syrup? Talked about terroir, this year’s harvest, and there’s a Salted Guinness Maple Caramel Syrup recipe that’s mighty good on ice cream!

@silverphoenixjewellers Oh, hello, and welcome to the fediverse. Glad to see you here :)
PS. There’s also an Irish server at mastodon.ie.
I'm guessing the Dictator Trump team didn't factor in the global USA Boycott that is unfolding
It does not seem that the financial news is much factoring this in either. Yet.
But #Tesla is the canary in the coal mine, if you ask me

Yay!! I got extra cucumbers because we didn't need the fancy cheese and I loooove snacking on cucumbers. The first greens of the year with some spinach. Microgreens, rutabaga, potatoes, carrots and cabbage. And I got some dried chilies!!
Multiply this by the *whole world* doing a #BoycottUSA, of which travel to the USA is only one component
...and it all amounts to an enormous tax on American citizens and harm to their economy, for no purpose other than handing tariff revenues to billionaires and other wealthies that frankly don't need the government handout

Searching our phones indiscriminately at the US border is something that non-Americans can easily avoid
Boycott all travel to the USA

Five years ago, Covid kept us home while restaurants and other food businesses looked for ways to stay open. From cookies, to cooking classes to cooked meals, I spoke with three local business owners about those days.
US produce wears out welcome with Victoria, British Columbia grocery store
The store says it has made moves to source all 380 of its fruits and vegetable from non-American growers
“Prior to all of this, one of our most popular spinach was Popeye Spinach. We used to sell 60 to 80 bags a day of that stuff,” said Innis. “In the last week that we had it, we sold two bags. That’s a message.”

Hey @SMC, will you be getting any more external DB25 BlueSCSI's on BlueSCSI.ca anytime soon? Hoping to #BuyLocal #BuyCanadian if I can
https://buybc.gov.bc.ca/ I’ve recently looked more closely at Buy BC and have found some good substitutes for several food items. While prices are more expensive, I am very happy to support local business. Has anyone else used the BC’s government Buy BC?
