I've stayed with Hellman's Mayo and don't find a difference at all, my biggest cooking issue is BUTTER...I miss BECEL!!! I was shocked to see it wasn't available here!!

They don't have Becel in the US? *stare* But... delicious olive oil Becel!

I'm serious........ and please don't rub it in.....that is what I used to buy, the Olive Oil..Mmmmm...darnit!!

We are actually having a vaguely frantic discussion of this right now. She uses I can't Believe it's Not Butter. And eeeeeew. Unless it's very different in the US, the only one I hate more is Lactantia.

Ewwwww...is right...... I've been buying the "Land O Lakes" Olive Oil Butter in small tub as a replacement, you may want to consider checking that out. Closest thing I can find that doesn't make your toast all soggy...yuck....

Soggy toast is disgusting. I think Partner may be sideyeing me for being worried about margarine. Ah well. I'll find SOMETHING I can put on toast.

DO NOT GIVE IN TO" I can't believe it's not butter"!!!! Please, as a fellow Canuck, stay strong and find a better alternative...buahahhaaaa

I call it " i can't believe people eat this #######" but that's just me

The only thing worse than I can't Believe it Passed Food Taste Testing is lactantia. Which is freaking disgusting. I liked the "I can't believe it's not butter" spray when I was a kid (for corn on the cob, popcorn, that kind of thing), but I don't think they make it anymore and everyone in my family agreed it tasted nothing like the margarine.

[inlovesalem 17]

Honestly I haven't tried Lactania, or the I can't believe it's not nutter spray. But now I am craving Becel on toast. lol

[Not a Tailor 1,370]

Sorry.

I've tried the Herr's ketchup chips and they're awful. I miss Old Dutch chips. I hardly buy chips anymore because I just don't like them here. Also, good coffee is hard to find. Someone mentioned kicking horse coffee...great stuff! The British Smarties and Cadbury bars still taste different than the Canadian ones. I miss Aeros and Coffee Crisp of course. They have a similar bubble type bar put out by Hershey but it's more solid chocolate than bubbles. I also miss Bicks pickles. The canned tuna here is way different too.

Yay! Got my mom to bring me some more Ketchup and VH Plum sauce when her and my dad come here Saturday (Yay Canadian Thanksgiving!). That and the Monarch cake and pastry flour and Tenderflake shortening! Gonna make me some tourtières!

My husband made dinner last night and he had somehow got a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese in the house...and made that to go with dinner. All I had left was American Heinz. It just felt so wrong!

EVERYTHING here has HFCS. It's disgusting! Whenever I go back to Canada I get so excited about eating real tasting food...not sweetened versions!

For a while we were buying Aunt Millie's bread, but it looks like she sold out and now uses HFCS in her bread so we stopped buying those and now buy fresh bakery bread. Currently i can only eat this healthy lifestyle stuff made with Splenda due to my Gestational Diabetes. Once i'm able to eat normally again, i have no idea what i'm going to do. Being off sugar for so long everything is going to taste disgustingly sweet again.ugh lol.
