Americans and Canadians culture Q&A Thread.

Canadians, any questions on American cuisine?

What is the appeal of Collard Greens? It looks like hot, mushy spinach to me which I know is probably horribly inaccurate but I just have to know!

Southern states tradition for several different reasons (including unfortunately slavery):

Well.. that was brief.

Canada out of the World Cup after 2 straight losses. (Not entirely unexpected..but by anyone’s standards it was brief! smh)

Best wishes to the US and UK team going forward.

You guys played as best you could and made history. Be proud. I have the highlights on my thread. Feel free to talk about the match further there if you like.

Why are you hogging all of the Bugles?

 

[bcwife76]

@Buzz Rules thank you for all that, I definitely have a better understanding now!!

You guys are not buying enough of them. I don’t eat them at all for the record.

That can't be true. Nearly every single holiday snack mix recipe on the prairies includes Bugles! What am I supposed to mix with my Shreddies, mini Ritz crackers, and pretzels now???

I've had it once and honestly didn't like it. But I'm sure there's Midwestern stuff that Southerners (or other regions) find not so good.

Your article said that was the reason in the past.

I think people just need to find the right recipe to use with them.

Please tell me we have some commonality in putting bugles on fingers just for the fun of it??? As a kid that was the thing to do.

We absolutely make "finger hats!"

Will you be rooting for America and England then for the rest of the tournament? Also you should still watch Canada’s final match as well. The Canadian nation should not abandon its team now. They will be competing in two more international tournaments next year. They will need all the support they can get. Otherwise, us yanks will dominate our friendly soccer rivalry. Unless Canada doesn’t mind us beating you at home.

Yes! And ringolos go on fingers too. I hope you have those…..

I cannot believe we don’t get bugles any more! That’s BS. And now I want to buy a bunch when we travel to Disney next month!

Order them online (Walmart, Target, Amazon).

I don't think that the majority of the U.S. can get ringolos anymore . If I search it comes up with Canadian sites and Amazon lists "Imported from Canada" but I remember something similar from my childhood, funyuns, which aren't quite the same but similar. That I do remember putting on our fingers.

It's been years since I've had bugles but now I want some thanks to this thread

We always called them witches fingers lol

Shipping anything to Canada from the US is ridiculous. Most often, the shipping is more expensive that what you wanted to buy in the first place.

How much do Canadians desire Bugles?
