- .RZ "NAINAIMO BARS II" "No-bake 3-layer (chocolate covered) bars"
- Nanaimo bars are a traditional Canadian dessert, though nobody is certain
- where the tradition came from. Laura Secord is a Canadian candy company;
- their cook book says this about the origin of these fattening delicacies:
- .br
- ``A version of these no-bake bars developed in the Canadian kitchens of
- a well-known food company, was christened by them "Nanaimo bars" after
- the city of that name on Vancouver Island. Nanaimo (from sne-ny-mo, a
- local Indian term for a loose confederation of five bands) started as
- a Hudson Bay Trading Post in 1849.''
