BUT there are some things that the citizens of the Great White North lack – COOL FOOD! When it comes to wicked, awesome processed stuff our neighbours to the South have it on lock down!
- Ding Dongs
- Twinkies
- HoHos
- SnoBalls
These are just a handful of the amazing food items that never came to Canadaland (at least not when I was a kid, I think NAFTA was brought in to help open the border to better highly processed foods.)
You can only imagine what my trips to the grocery store are like. They usually take twice as long (although, I’ve never been the most efficient shopper…hey, I work in advertising, SHOULDN’T I be compelled by all that pretty packaging?) So imagine my shock when I found this…
OMG! There aren’t words to describe the awesomeness. Art and Food, coming together to help you make your holiday table the best it can be. Hot damn that is just too much!!! Best part is, there are OTHER sculptures to mark various holidays like Thanksgiving (a turkey) and Christmas (a little tree). These pics were on the back of the package (sorry, forgot to take a pic – but don’t worry…that’ll be tomorrow’s update!)
However, in the interests of equal opportunity blogging, I’ll have to do a post where I celebrate uniquely Canadian food. Like the other day, I’m in a meeting and Mr. W brought “Pop’ems” (which are essentially Tim Horton’s Sour Cream timbits, but not HALF as good). He also brought some wicked Marzipan chocolates that I’ve been slowly eating all week when he’s not looking…sorry!
Anyway – what’s your US fantasy food? OR what’s your fav uniquely Canuck grub? Write a post in the comment section. I’ll see if I can bring back some of whatever you crave. OR take a picture of me eating your fav food and then you can just photoshop in your face. Or not…whatev.
Have a great Thursday. WooHoo, one more sleep till Rico in NY!
Viva Le Weekend!

Charleston Chew is my fave US food you can't get here. Oh and my husband is addicted to the Propel Grape water which is also not here yet. I am a starstruck idiot in the grocery store whenever I'm in the states.
