I'd guess smaller than a marble. REALLY teeny tiny. I'll take a picture when I use them.

Hope this helps. They really are tiny. I put a fork there for sizing.
Sprinkles teeny tiny red, yellow and orange grape tomatoes.

Lidl Feta and olive salad - not bad, but not sure if I'll get it again.

The Lidl Beef flavored rice and vermicelli was excellent. As good or better than rice a roni. And it made a lot.
We just tried out a new-to-us hot sauce, Fatakra hot sauce. Interesting combo of Squash, onions, scotch bonnet peppers, cider vinegar, distilled white vinegar, sunflower oil, garlic, spices, sugar, salt. Quite tasty, I really enjoyed it on my hamburger yesterday. It went well with tonight's merguez sausages. https://montreal.lufa.com/en/marketplace/product/seasonal-hot-sauce--fatakra-10645

DD picked these up when we went to Trader Joe's. They are excellent. Reminds me of the vegetable tempura we would get at the Japanese steakhouse.

Found this at Trader Joe's. It says use 1 - 1 for vanilla extract. But the paste has sugar in it. It tastes pretty good. I will try it when I do a test run of mini cheesecake bites.

Found these last week. I thought they needed a little more flavor, so I added some praline topping left over from Thanksgiving. I'll buy them again. So easy to make this side dish.

I just picked this up. I hope it's good. Will try it for New Year's.
I'll bet that gravy would go great over my leftover goose! Wonder if I can find that here.... gonna look for it!

I tried the beef version of this and honestly, we like Heinz better. Let us know what you think of this one.

Ok
You can type in your city here to find out where to buy it. They seem to sell it in Montreal.
I did, but nope, can't find any around me.
I've been using a fair amount of BtB lately - honestly I still think the liquid of Bovril and Knorr much better. But BTB has more variety.
Even in hot water the paste of BTB took a lot of stirring to melt and incorporate. Also tricky measuring a tsp or so. Find liquid much easier to measure, no need to level nor scrape it, and as mentioned it dissolves much faster.
The BTB needs to be refrigerated after opening, not so the liquids.
Haven't calculated the costs yet.

I just noticed that I seem to have forgotten to include the link.
Tried it taxy, they couldn't find anything near me. Very strange, would have thought they'd come up with something in Toronto at least.
But I also don't like their search engine, way too nosy.

I don't understand the attraction of going shopping at Trader Joes. It's a trip to a groccery store, not a pilgrimage to Mecca!
The first time I ever heard of Trader Joes was when I first moved to California in 1979. At that time they were advertised in tiny ads in the Classified section of the LA Times as Trader Joe and Pronto. All of a sudden they exploded as Trader Joes. I refused to shop there for many years, until they explained what they did with Pronto. Did he die, sell his share, did they take advantage of him because he was Native American, or did they just kick him to the curb like Sears did with Roebuck?

So, which was it?
