Manager Sue Langedijk
says the store has a regular
clientele of single people who
don’t feel like cooking a full meal
for themselves, and many stock
their freezers at home with the

single-serving entrees that are sold

in microwave-friendly containers.
Popular items are the no-MSG

dim sum, lasagna ($1.10 per 100g), i

moussaka ($1.35 per 100g), and at
lunchtime, the spinach salad,
homemade soup and fruit salad top-

ped with comage cheese or yogurt
and Reel Apperite’s homemade
trail mix.

Added benefits of grabbing a bite
at Reel Apperites are the company

says Langedijk — and the oppor-
tunity to browse through the gifts,
cookware and novelties.
