Your Mission Completed: snack time!
Last week, Gastroposters engaged in the time-honoured tradition of sharing at snack time by posting these delicious
between-meal morsels, both sweet and savoury. From morning to midnight, it looks like you sure know how to tide
yourselves over! On these pages, Twitter handles are in blue and Instagram in brown.

Your next
mission:
Spring has sprung in Vancouver! Besides hoping
the weather holds, we wanted to keep things fresh,
light and flavourful this week. Your new mission is
to enjoy something that showcases herbs at their
best. From versatile parsley to fragrant cilantro
and tangy thyme, who doesn’t have a favourite?
Whether you eat them fresh or dried, nosh on
some deliciously aromatic herbs and share the
experience with your fellow Gastroposters.

Where to start?
Mission Inspiration
What food shows off fresh herbs better than pesto?
Gastroposter Michelle Rodriguez celebrated herbs
with this homemade pesto, which also incorporates another spring-like ingredient: ramps, also
known as wild leeks. “Finding these guys in the forest was easy,” Michelle says. “Cleaning them was a
pain, but man was it worth it! Happy spring, y’all!”
So how will you enjoy herbs this week?
Gastropost it
Whatever you eat in order to complete
the mission, the important part is sharing
it with the Gastropost community.
There are several ways to do that:
Matthew Blandy
@chefblandy
Raw chocolate and double
chocolate brownies
Russell Co
@hungryslif
Warm double-baked almond
croissant, A Bread Affair
Yilin Zhang
@yilinz13
Sticky rice cake, a perfect cool
treat for a hot afternoon
Kumiko Omori
@after5english
So these were irresistible even at
3 a.m.
