- .RZ "NANAIMO BARS I" "A Favorite Canadian sweet"
- This comes from a page in an obscure magazine called something like
- \fICanadian Homemaker\fR, by way of a Canadian friend, Steve Deering. This
- is a traditional Canadian sweet, much loved and admired. The origin of the
- recipe seems to be lost in the mists of time, though everyone seems to agree
- that it comes from the town of Nanaimo, in British Columbia.
