favorite things you'll miss from canada

[Cristy 4]

I love the big turk.

Smarties are way too sweet, but I think that's just taste and what you grow up with. I heart M&Ms, and Chad loves the almond kind (which for some reason we can find in West Nowhere, Alberta, but not on the East Coast.)

Not surprised, as ON is only ahead "in own delusions", other than in PRICES (much higher).

Ontario is hardly on the coast!

Ontario is hardly on the coast!

It does have coast on the NORTH--to Hudson Bay (part of Arctic Ocean--which itself is considered by some geographers to be part of Atlantic Ocean) and borders on at least one coastal (Atlantic proper) state.

Oh, I was thinking East Coast as in Connecticut. Every time he's down here we look for almond M&Ms and we have no luck in any of the local stores. And usually, it's much easier to find things here than there. They must just not sell well here.

(Don't misunderstand -- I love West Nowhere, Alberta. I just want the M&Ms here, too.)

They're available in Balto--which (on Chesapeake) is definitely east coast.

Just wanted to say hi to the group! HI!!! My fiance is the Canadian and I have to say in reply to this thread that I won't miss my favorite thing from Canada 'cause he's here with me! LOL

One sweet I was remembering was these chocolate covered almonds from Fortino's!! OMG they are the best I've ever tasted...I also miss Fortino's in general. Reminds me of the Italian specialty grocery stores I knew as a youngster (none here in this mountain town)

And thanks again to those who have helped me so far in answering questions I've had relating to his VJ. I know I have more coming....

adding my 2 cents worth! well I have to say...everytime I drive to the USA my American Husband has me bring down 12 packs of orange & grape "crush" pop (soda as they say). they seem to have discontinued Crush brand in Oregon and Washington State. Oh yes, and educating/introducing americans to "Nanaimo Bar" and 5.5% beer! In return I like to bring back good "cheap" wine. I can usually save $8-$10 a bottle from the USA. No tax in Oregon! Yahoo! I like that! Denise/cdancer

PS very sad that Cheeze whiz tastes like nacho dip! oh YUK!

My fiance is the Canadian

I can't believe I called him my fiance!! He's my husband...duh!! I'm still trying to remember to write my new name too!

[payxibka 10,045]

People who say "ay" at then end of each sentence ay!

[Caladan 19]

Canadians don't do that.

its 'eh' and there is a correct and incorrect use of it, its a secret that we will never share either because it weeds out the wannabes from the real canucks

My fiancee rarely says "eh." She really gets annoyed when other people use it a lot though. She once told me a story about this lady on a bus who was saying "eh" after just about every sentence, and my fiancee was sitting there thinking, "It's people like you that give us Canadians that stereotype!"
