First of all, I wish you, on my behalf and that of my team, a wonderful year 2021. And since the sweetest springs are those which follow a harsh winter, I am expecting a beautiful year, because 2020 was tough. If you are reading this message, we play a role in your life. And we take this role very seriously, because we intend to help make this new year sweeter. Our humble participation may be reduced to a simple cup of coffee that you prepare with the beans we have chosen for you, but a simple cup of coffee can transform the way we see the world. Taking the time to prepare a coffee is a symbolic gesture, a way of taking care of yourself, of spoiling yourself. Choosing your coffee, or consulting us on the subject is a deliberate action for yourself, and not being satisfied with the first pickle is taking a position, an action to take charge of your personal happiness. It is also a position taken on the origin of the grains, contact with agriculture, the land and the people behind the process. [...]

And here is our 7th episode with a counter discussion, so we talk about bread and the concentration of the baking industry, the loss of jobs in the region with the sale of the Port-Daniel cement plant in the background.

Welcome to Coffee, Chocolate and Counter Chat. A podcast dedicated to these wonderful products that are coffee and chocolate and to the extraordinary encounters we have while sharing these passions with you. We will also approach the world of these products from our point of view as an importer and manufacturer, while being in contact with, on the one hand, producers and on the other, consumers and professionals, chefs and artisans. We will also tinge our discussions with our reality, our entrepreneurial lifestyle, the rurality of our geographical positioning and the chance to live in a wonderful place on the shores of Baie-des-Chaleurs.

Lettre à Aliments Québec
Dany MarquisFeb 01, 20200 comments
Here is a copy of the letter sent to Ms. Céline Beaulieu, coordinator, certification and compliance, with whom I have been discussing the definition of chocolate products for over a year. As mentioned in the text, the popularity of subcontracting, or the use of semi-processed products in the food industry makes the work of certifiers complex. Several manufacturers, for reasons of profitability, keep the origin of their ingredients hidden, while taking advantage of the local product label. I also want to mention the goodwill of Aliments Québec in the face of my requests which come up against a broader situation which affects several areas at the same time. It's quite a challenge to draw the line between definitions, especially when certain companies make millions of dollars by advertising themselves as Quebec products when in fact it's more or less true.

I think it is high time that we set up a rule to set once and for all the space that is acceptable to take when visiting a coffeeshop. In this way, the baristas and the management will not have to break the party of your moment by coming to tell you that you take too much space on the table.
