Sausages and meats at Oyama Sausage

From Zara's, continue along the aisle then turn right at Dussa's Ham and Cheese. There, in front of you, is my personal favourite: Oyama Sausage.

This locally-owned gem has the look of an old-world sausage shop full of hand-made sausages of all kinds, from prosciutto-style meats to chorizos. But it's the wide range of pâtés and terraines--the Terraine Landaise is sublime--that make this must-stop shopping for me.

If you've never had a terraine before, you must try it. Thicker and more crumbly that the smooth pâtés, terraines are so old-world French they seem like a true delicacy in Vancouver.

Tip: Buy French bread to go with your pâté at La Baguette, the French bakery outside the market and across the street from Oyama Sausage.
