During a recent stay in Penticton, the daughter had the opportunity to see and shop at Grimm's…read moreSausage before she returned home. Thanks to her trip, we received a 'sampling' of tasty treats -- liverwurst, weisswurst, and European wieners. The gifted offering was directed primarily to her Mom -- definitely the one who knows, and is able to really savour the distinctive flavours of these kinds of meats. And she sure did. I managed to target the weisswurst, and ensured we enjoyed a meal together with this sausage. It is a sausage favourite of mine, and I really enjoyed their product - creamy in texture, and rather 'lighter' in flavour. I could enjoy that sausage often, and in so many ways. At this time, that included one taste of sweet & savory, open-faced sandwiches -- made with slices of weisswurst sausage on cinnamon rolls -- tried before the sausage was gone. Thanks to A&K Grimms for their well-made, flavourful & tasty sausages, and daughter for catching some for us to taste at home.

They have a wonderful selection of pastries and breads. While we were there they gave us a couple of peanut butter cookies that were just about to be placed in the display case. They were delicious. The service was very warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend for good service, good food and fair prices.

Bought sliced headcheese yesterday . Should have checked the meat before I left the store.

I tried a peice of it, was extremely sour and tasted like it had gone off a long time ago. I did notice that the brand new package of headcheese was not opened for my request, so the old sour small peice behind the new one was sliced up and given to me. Very disappointed, this will be the first and last time I buy from here.

Last time I was there, they were introducing the BEST Jalapeno Cheese Smokie that I've ever tasted. They also sell local eggs by the dozen, dairy products and have a freezer with a large selection of Pierogies.

Did someone say Schnitzel!?…read more Okay, this isn't your typical Wiener Schnitzel you'd get at a German/Austrian/Swiss Restaurant. It's Chicken Schnitzel and it's in a sandwich, but it's pretty good albeit it a bit thin. Served simply with mayo and cheese, it still hits the spot. I suppose lettuce or tomato would take away from the schnitzel! My husband got the European Donair which he was pleasantly surprised by the sauce, the pickled cabbage (or was it onions...) and the roast beef. It was totally different than a normal donair you'd find at a typical Donair shop. We both added on the soup of the day which was delicious. It's no frills but not hole in the wall by any means. Go up and order at the bar and wait for your order to be delivered to your table. There's seating in the corner with a decent amount of chairs. Very modern inside. This is a market/butcher/deli restaurant. You can browse some neat European goods for taking home as well.

On our way to Tappen with empty stomachs we stopped at their Vernon location for a sandwich. Both craving BLT's the lovely K, thanks to Yelp saw that they had that offering. We pulled in, parked, and entered the store. It's always a treat to go in as the store is well stocked, well lit and always clean. The young man that helped us at the counter was courteous and informed us of the soups that were available that day. Borscht I think might be a staple here, and the other offering was Mulligatawny, which we have made at home. Our soup and sandwiches ordered with the choice of back, or side bacon, we went to the bistro area to await our lunch. Prior to stepping away however our bacon was cut fresh from the side. Who does that? Needless to say our sandwiches and soup were delicious, and from the looks of it we weren't the only ones that have discovered this gem. Another redo while in Kelowna or Vernon? You betcha, and we can't wait!
