The ketchup chips. Yum

I think we have pretty good beef here, but it also varies from store to store. One grocery store in the Flathead has the best beef, the rest are so so. I don't know where they get it or what the steer eats before he sits on my plate though. But it is as good as Alberta beef.

We also get a good selection of fruits and vegetables here in NW Montana. Pretty much the same as my family in southern Idaho and easter Oklahoma have. Although my Dad says Oklahoma tomatoes are much better than any he could buy here.

I prefer the M and M to smarties, I guess it is what you grow up with. Canada has much better chocolate overall though. We get some nasty *chocolate* sold in the US, it has to be mostly wax, tastelss stuff.

There are hundreds of microbrewreys all over. They have good beer, with high alcohol contents. Your very own Lanny McDonald"s son in law owns one near Kalispell.

Also we have soft drinks that are not colas that have caffiene. Mountain Dew has more caffiene than Coke. So does Dr Pepper and Sunkist Orange Soda.
