Does anyone know where sells banana leaves in the Pickering Scarborough area? I looked it up and it says Asian stores but I need first hand info, I plan on making conkie and don't have much time to run around. I'm gonna start heading North soon and plan on taking up some Guyanese items to make while there.

There is a store on Kingston Rd name Pacific  they carry ethnic food.

Do you know what is conkie? You need a large leaf that can wrap.

Maybe I'll call em before leaving. I have a couple hrs drive South , pick someone up then head six hrs North and get there before nightfall. An eight hr drive could turn out over ten depending on weather.
