Yes, let's hope. This would be me on the outside: This would be me on the inside:

Congratulations to your friend and enjoy the party!

This is from a classic New Jersey Diner.

"Bundy"

I've seen poutine on the menu in various restaurants throughout the US. It's no longer some exotic foreign thing. Is Chris Therian Canadian?

I have to go to Ponzio's again soon. It's THE ultimate diner experience in that part of South Jersey. It's been at least a year, but I would go much more often when I lived in Cherry Hill decades ago. Even after I moved away, I would take my mom there for dinner about once a month.

I don't think of poutine as exotic . . . simply strange.

Not in the least Exotic.. 5 minutes to make....

I have seen it all over as well. .

Yeah, exotic wasn't the best choice of words, but I don't know if I'd call it strange either. Just "different."

I've never eaten poutine. It may be delicious, but the appearance turns me off. Is it eaten with a fork or with your fingers? If the latter, is finger-licking acceptable after eating them?

As for Ponzio's, I can still hear "LBIJim, party of 6 to the Haddon Room." Ah, sweet memories.

I can't eat cheese, but my family are all poutine LOVERS.. A fork most definitely.. I love frite sauce (sans cheese).. It looks gross and mushy, but I am told it is excellent..

In our younger days, it was a must have after the bars, again mine was sans fromage

Um, yeah. There's an existing thread about Target Canada, and since one issue in that thread is the lack of groceries, how is this news pertinent to this thread?

 

[Carina]

Yeah, I've known what Christmas Crackers were since I was a kid, but they're still far from common in the US. Wild guess: fewer than 25% of Americans have ever heard of them, and fewer than 10% have ever used them.

Most Americans familiar with Christmas crackers would likely consider them a British tradition, not Canadian.

I have not had a Christmas Dinner without a Christmas cracker (and accompanying crown) that I can remember.
Even when I was a little kid in the 70's they were at every dinner.

Just looked them up on Wikipedia and it appears that they are pretty much a Commonwealth Country thing

If you check the time stamp, that thread did not exist when I posted this link to this thread about Canada.

 

[SkaGoat]

People in this thread make me sick, lay off TVGuy... at least he's attempting to add to the conversation rather than attack fellow users.

Don't you have better things to do with your time rather than attack him.

And then going as far as openly mocking him in other, threads... I'd be ashamed if my children acted like the grown adults here.

 

[ronandannette]

Shout out to tvguy - your input is more than welcome in my threads anytime!

Just got back from shopping for today's event; went to a place called "The Real Canadian Superstore", which is a ubiquitous big-box discount grocer. Well they'd better start calling themselves the Real UN-Canadian Superstore... I couldn't find frozen saskatoons OR fresh bison and the smoked salmon they had came from Asia

I agree. Some people just take things to far. If you disagree point it out. But leave it there. No need to mock anyone.

And the going on about fruitcake? Give me a break. It's obviously regional and common on the Prairies.
The donair thing must also be regional. Never heard of them.

 

[Carina]

I had my first donair about 15 years ago in Vancouver and also in Victoria

With the sweet garlic sauce? Donairs/schwarmas are easy to find here in Ontario, but the East coast version (with the sweet sauce) is hard to find.

ronandannette - have you had Saskatoon berry pierogi? So yummy (might be an Saskatchewan thing - combination of ubiquitousness of the Saskatoon berry and a large Ukrainian population, I guess).

 

[Larissa]

Poutine.

I cant remember TBH. It was at the Molson Indy. I want to say it was a tzatziki type sauce.

 

[bcla]

I remember the chocolate moose served by a waiter in a Mountie uniform from of of the Naked Gun movies.

That was a joke, right?

Yeah, that's the type we normally get around here. I think that the NS/NB version is an acquired taste.
