Hi everyone. Went to Canada over the weekend to see my hubby. I finally got to try poutine. :-) Is there anything else uniquely Canadian I should try on my next visit?

A beaver tail!!

Beaver tail? Is that like a bear's claw (a sugar coated pastry with almonds)? LOL

It's like deep fried pastry, sprinkled with a variety of choices.... for example, cinnamon sugar is the traditional BT flavour, it's shaped like a beaver tail!

It reminds me of my childhood, skating on the Rideau Canal and stopping for BT and hot cocoa !!

Where in Canada is he?

He's in Ottawa.

Then i second the beaver tail on the Rideau Canal!!

mmmmmmm And make sure you have ketchup chips.. and nanaimo squares.

Don't forget dill pickle chips, those are sooo goooooddddddd!!

I found some dill pickle flavored pringles a few weeks ago. They were pretty good.

Oh yes indeed I did! That's too funny. I was sad I couldn't get dill pickle chips here and voila, one day I found dill pickle pringles and did a happy dance

Go and see the cats on Parliament Hill. There is a feral cat colony made up of all sorts of boxes and houses on the hillside behind the Parliament buildings. Quite a number of cats live there year round and are a big visitor attraction. There is a regular caretaker who feeds them every day and people aren't allowed to get near them. They have all been neutered and vaccinated and are healthy. It is really neat to see. You should take a tour of the Parliament buildings as well - very interesting.

Good Morning from chilly St. Louis! Ugh! It's 3 degrees F right now...(-16C) coldest day on record! I don't know that I'm going for a walk today. We'll see. Everyone needs to warm up today, I even see the lows and highs in Flordia aren't that toasty this morning! That Florida weather better be nicer starting next week when I'm there!

Good morning, Carla. We're expecting another week of cold weather here in sunny Fla. Hopefully, you're arriving at the end of that. At least there's no snow.

Yeesh. VJ keeps running slow on me. I think I'm going to call it a day. Or at least an hour.

Have a great day, everyone!

(Sorry I didn't respond in that thread and brought it over here. I didn't want to clutter it up anymore than it already was. Poor guy probably feels bad enough without reading a bunch of jokes from us Canaliens. LOL)
