VASHIKOL: A Bad Acronym for (Hopefully) Good Food

At last years BarCamp Vancouver I prepared food inspired by the Sikh practice of Langar. You can read more about it in post Borrowing Great Idea from the Sikhs.

This year, I'll do the same, but I'm going to use local food that is organic. This might be a bit tougher - especially as I am running late on sourcing out suppliers. At least there is one obvious local choice - Small Potatoes Urban Delivery. SPUD, as they are known, delivers organic (and local, when they can) produce and food products and has a neat system for rewarding people for choosing local products over imported.

Other suggestions for local providers are welcome.

As for VASHIKOL, it stands for Vegan, Allergy-Sensitive, Halal, Ital, Kosher, Organic, Local - a heck of a mouthful.
