Turk71 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 When I was little my friends dad used to bring Canadian bacon back. Just tasted like ham to me. Molson Brador was my favorite food smuggled out of Canada. It was too strong to buy in the states then. 23 hours ago, Fadingpain said: I love Coffee Crisps, but that isn't Canadian. Like most candy WNYers associate with Canada, it is British. How about Mr. Big bars? (Love 'em!) Or Mackintosh's toffee! My favorite! My mom loved Mackintosh toffee. Every trip to Crystal Beach she would bring home bags of it. We would freeze it and then slam it on the counter to break it into little pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame that Crystal Beach is now condo's... that was the highlight of summertime in WNY as a kid... parents would always surprise us and boy did that get the blood flowing... the "are we there yet" kind.

Montreal and Vancouver are held in much higher regard. Like Vancouver Toronto has a number of excellent Chinese restaurants serving dim sum; my wife and I eat there when we visit and my wife is Hong Kongese so she knows dim sum.

Alcohol content of 6 or 7%. We thought that was great. Nowadays there’s beers with 9.25% I hear. Crazy. Brador was one of my favorite beers; used to get a case of Brador and a case of Molson XXX every time I crossed the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in some black diamond extra sharp cheddar and wash it all down with Wink soda. I also thought their gummy candy was better up there.. like the cinnamon lips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Bills Fan Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 On 2/24/2018 at 1:46 PM, BuffaloBill said: What’s your favorite Canadian food? Like the U.S. the Canucks have a hard argument around claiming foods as all their own given the heavy borrowing (stealing) from immigrant cultures. However, a meal that includes poutine, peamean bacon and butter tarts would leave my American ass feeling pretty Canucky. Personally I would say those three are in a tie as the holy trinity of Canadian eats. Also, I think anything involving Maple, excluding syrup, is just a tourist trap pile of ****. What do you think? BTW - while several of my Canadian friends might argue otherwise, Beer is not a food. Hahahaha came here just to post this Obviously Poutine is amazing. We do it so many ways here, cheese curds, pulled pork, curry chicken etc... Ketchup Chips and Coffee Crisp are amazing. I truly feel sorry for you guys that you don't have them down in the States. I would also add All Dressed chips to that list. IMO, its hard to beat a nice Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich Mmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
