Julie are you ready to be swamped with Laura Secord chocolates

[Micheme]

It was awesome for Julie to give kudos to my favourite chocolate store Laura Secord here in Canada. The historical figure Laura Secord is a huge hero and figure in my home area of Niagara since this is the area where she made her journey.

I am a huge fan and my favourite is French Crisp !!! MMMMM Hubby brought me a mini box last week, they are so good.

So Julie do you have some favourites or should all us Canadian fans just send a lot of mixed boxes.

PS I've alway pronounced it Laura SEACORD, any other canadians can confirm.

Your pronunciation is correct, Sea-cord.

She had nothing to do with chocolate, the company was named in her honor.
My late father was a big fan of Laura Secord chocolates, Gingers to be precise.

Just a little info for those that may be curious....

For me growing up in Ontario Easter wasn't right without my Laura Secord egg.....but it has to be the one in the purple box. I had to have one sent to me my first Easter away. And then the french crisps....

Laura Secord is harder to find in Western Canada....when I brought up Laura Secord when I first moved away I was quickly corrected Purdy's are prefered out west.

I have seen Laura Secord chocolates sold in Walmart now!

Is it wrong that I haven't had a Laura Secord chocolate in lord knows how long. I can't even remember the last time. Sounds like a great excuse to eat chocolate.

And the last time we were home in Canada, the only store I could get to was out of French Mint bars.

How wrong is that?!!!
Anyone in Canada that'd be willing to mail some (prepaid of course) to an expat, PM me, please!

I am very lucky since we are only about 1/2 hr away from the outlet for Laura Secord and you can get large plastic tins of chocolates for cheap cheap cheap !!!
