Manitoba-based Eric Maciejkow drove for 36 hours to Vancouver in a bid to put his edible photo cookies in the picture at the 2010 Olympics."The Olympics is a huge event and a great opportunity for us," said Maciejkow, owner of myphotocookie.com, on Monday.  "We can do cookies with corporate logos or photos on them for VIP parties." The cookies were one of 85 different food ideas, mainly from B.C., at a Vancouver trade fair aimed at cashing in on the 2010 Games. According to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, 3.7 million Olympic-related meals will be served at official and unofficial events throughout the Games. "From a food-service perspective, there's no greater opportunity in terms of visibility," said Jeffery Lang, AAFC's 2010 Winter Games product-sourcing advisor. Suppliers showed off everything from bison to biscuits. Denzel Sandberg of Enderby, owner of Denzel's Gourmet Foods, offered tastes of his chipotle, fruit-based and habanero hot sauces and BBQ sauces. "I'm targeting the Jamaican bobsled team," he grinned. "We make Caribbean-style sauces. I learned how to make my original sauce from a lady from Trinidad." North Vancouver's Leanne McDonald, president of Oooli Beverages, gave out samples of her company's low-sugar, organic iced teas. "Our line has zero-to-60 calories, compared with other beverages which have the equivalent of nine-to-13 teaspoons of sugar in them," she said. "Imagine putting that much sugar in your coffee." Jeff Linton, food-service manager for East Vancouver's Ethical Bean, said his company already does a lot of unofficial business with Olympic employees. "Our cafe is across from VANOC's offices," he said. "We're looking to supply non-official opportunities like VIP lounges and we're having some interesting meetings with potential, non-official Olympic suppliers." Saltspring Island Cheese hopes to pick up winter sales for its line of goat's milk cheeses during the 2010 Olympics, as well as international exposure, said Denise Moxey. "Goat's cheese is a healthy option and we are looking to supply athletes and media," she said. Lulu Island Winery in Richmond is only a 10-minute drive from the Richmond Olympic Speed Skating Oval and hopes to become a destination. "We're looking for someone to open a restaurant at the winery," said Heather Turnbull. "We've already had some of the Canadian Olympic athletes come in so now I know who to cheer for!"
