Default What kind of food do we have up here that the US doesn't?

And another food thread. There's gotta be more than just poutine and ketchup chips.

I am actually not quite sure. Yours just have more substance and flavor to them. My wife complains every time she gets one from 7-11 here. She says here its "foamy and light and not as solid." You also have quite a few more flavors than we have.

Oh yeah also we dont have restaurants or food kiosks that just sell fries like NYF. I love their fries. Also ranch dressing on everything up there doesnt seem readily available. I would love to take that BBQ seasoning pour it on some NY fries and dip them in ranch.

Is there a difference between M&Ms and Smarties?

That's really odd. I always thought slurpees were just ice and syrup.

M&Ms use a weird type of chocolate that somehow manages to taste gross. Smarties are made of delicious milk chocolate in a candy shell. I use to love sucking on them so the chocolate would melt, then I would split them in half and lick out the chocolate. Wow. I have not had smarties in a long time.

I have some friends in California, and I was floored to learn that they never heard of them. Then again, their grocery stores are filled with stuff we do not get up here. They had a whole aisle for twinkie-related junk food, and the superstore I go to has a shelf. (twinkies make me want to puke anyway) Not to mention all the different pops they get down there.
