I'm Canadian, and once when I was in Nashville Tenn. on a business trip, we were in a bar. The smoker in our group moved away from us to light up until he was done. After the band finished a few songs and took a break, they asked us if we were Canadian. When we asked how the knew, they simply said that when he moved away for a smoke, they knew that no-one from the USA would be that polite!

I worked with a guy who was in L.A. for a trip, and he ducked into a bar on the way back to his hotel for a beer or two. It was pretty empty and dark but he didn't think anything of it. He was surprised to see ashtrays on the table in his booth as smoking indoors was banned up here for a long time. Several locals walked up and asked him why he's there, and to tell him that he seems to not fit in with the clientele. He apologized, and said he's just going to finish his beer and smoke and head out. Then the locals noticed his brand of cigarettes: Player's. They were tickled by this "Ayo, these are what a Player smokes, huh?" and "Pass me a Player, player!"

I'm not a Canadian, but I went up there for the first time this year on a fishing trip. I get why most of the population lives on the coasts and border. Rural interior Canada is strangely desolate. Where we were in central Ontario, it was nothing but water, rocks and pine trees. I spend a lot of time outdoors in fairly remote areas, and I couldn't believe how few animals I saw out there. There were fish everywhere, but its eerie when you're 150 miles from civilization and you're not seeing much for wildlife. Also, maple syrup beats corn syrup by an incalculable margin. Edit: born and raised in Wisconsin. Cheese curds are fantastic and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

It's only because most of our wildlife are large and skittish and what isn't is nocturnal or birds. Deer, moose, bears and wolves have no interest in fucking around with people and since so much of the country is uninhabited, they're left more or less in their natural state. And as for where we live, pretty much every Canadian city or town is on or near a river/lake of some kind. Easiest for irrigation, hydro and water pumping/treatment.

So without thinking I opened the first set of doors and kicked the wheelchair button for the second. Told her to have a nice day. I get back inside, I see a man STARING me down. Points at me and tells me to go over. (Didn’t know if it was his wife or something). So I walk over, “your not from here are you?”. Kinda confused for a second and asked him what he meant. He said he’s never seen someone go out of their way to hold the door for someone like that. “Well Sir, back home that wouldn’t go over well if I didn’t and my old man found out” Small town vibes baby.

It was to teach us about maple syrup tapping while also mixing in some survival tips for getting stuck in the snowy forest. We also learned how to skate and went on hikes/canoeing and to some baller museums.. not sure if other parts of Canada have similar school trips.

I immigrated to Canada in 1972 with my family. The first week we were there, we visited a KFC where they served chips with chicken gravy. I thought that was weird, (being used to just ketchup as a topping), until I discovered the gravy had the Colonel's 11 herbs and spices in it. I think they still offer that to this day. Salt and vinegar is also quite popular as chip seasoning. There is a chain in Canada called Smoke's Poutinery, which features all sorts of different toppings to go along with the gravy and curds. Sadly the chain's founder died this week, way too young. And Aunt Jemima's syrup? Company changed their name to The Pearl Milling Company several years ago, after it was deemed the company mascot was a racist stereotype of a black woman. Not even redesigning her to look like Aretha Franklin helped. They still have "Aunt Jemima recipe" in smaller letters towards the bottom on the bottles, and the boxes of pancake batter powder though.

@@jonathantheunacceptable4259 you might want to know that just because a company is American, it doesn't mean that they carry the same menu in other countries as they do in the US, and restaurant franchises like KFC often offer menu items that reflect local culinary tastes, which IMHO is a smart business practice. That's why KFC offers chips and gravy on the menu here. It's also why Popeyes offers their take on poutine on their menus (which is featured on their Friday value menu in Canada). I mentioned the Aunt Jemima stuff because I wanted to point out the name change of the product, and why it was changed, not passing judgement on the quality of their syrup or claiming it was genuine maple syrup. Thought to tell you the truth, I'd prefer a bottle of E.D. Smith's sugarless syrup over Pearl Milling Company's product any day. Come to think of it, a Brain Blaze on companies who had to change their logos over controversies just might prove to be quite interesting. Simon should ask his writers to look into that......

Re: milk bags being useful because they're easy to store and keep the milk fresh-- the bag of bags can be stored flat, which is fantastic for most refrigerators. It can also be stored in other configurations if your fridge is packed. The reason it keeps the milk fresher is that you're only opening one liter at a time instead of all 4L every time. If you're buying milk in bags you're going through it fast enough that the tiny hole you cut to pour through doesn't sour it fast enough to notice. It takes a week before I start noticing a difference in taste, and I'm rather sensitive to it.

So, yes, there are lots of places that still seel milk in glass bottles, you just pay a bottle deposit and get it back wehn you return them. Or, in our case, if we ever end our delivery service with the dairy, we will get our starting bottle deposit back.

Only thing about it that seems at all weird to me is that there's not been a tap added to the milk bags using the Aussie cask wine tech. Wouldn't make sense for small quantities, but for larger ones it would, wouldn't it?

Cheese curdle may sound disgusting but I assure you it is the superior way of snacking on cheese. I am from Quebec and my region is known for his incredible cheese (even the late Queen of the U.K. specifically loved cheese from my region) and the cheese curdle we have is known as being so legendary that when one of my friend went to see some of our friends who moved into western Canada he and his local friends made him bring them about 300$ of cheese

Could you let your friend know that we do have some decent cheesemakers out here? Closest to me at least is one called The Cheese Factory. It's over on Whyte ave. in Edmonton. They make all sorts of cheese like regular as well as smoked beer cheese and cheese curds. If he's in Alberta it's likely he may have tried it already.

If you come to Quebec someday try some Boivin or Perron cheese. It’s a delicacy! Perron has better high end cheese, but if you can come accross some fresh Boivin cheddar go for it instead!

Yes, bagged milk is very much only a big thing on the eastern side of the country specifically Ontario. On the west coast we use 4 litre plastic jugs or 1-2 litre cartons or plastic jugs like the rest of the world. In Alberta we are charged 25 cents when a 4 litre jug is purchased and is refunded when taken back to the bottle depot. For the most part we don’t recycle plastic bags so most milk bags end up in the landfill.

I remember getting bagged milk delivered to our door in the 90's, and if it was in the winter it could freeze solid. When it was just cold enough to keep it extra chilled it was the best thing to pour on your cereal in the morning. I used to love the little ice chunks in the milk when it was only half frozen. But the outer bag they came in left pink dye on the white shelves that could never be removed. Also I don't think many Canadians outside of Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick, know about the Maple syrup reserve. At least most people I mention it to in Berta know that it exists.

2% milk in a Quebec Walmart today: 4 litres (3 bags) is $7.50, mostly bought by families; 2L carton is $4; 2L rigid plastic w screw-top is $4.20; 1L carton is available too. Cheese curds are not old, mouldy, curdled cheese: they are very fresh and lose their squeekiness the day after you buy them, so you always know if you got fresh ones. The curdling is (I think) a process involving vinegar or something to curdle it rapidly.

Bagged milk was sold in Canada for about a decade before we switched over to metric. The size of the bags changed slightly so that three small bags now contain four litres instead of one gallon. Older people still sometimes talk about buying a gallon of milk.

One time hanging out in the woods drinking beers around a fire with some Canadians I had sort of just met and one thing led to another and they got really drunk and started physically fighting with each other. The scuffle led over near my car and one of them minorly bumped into it and and they all instantly stopped fighting and were so SORRY about my car. Like pleading for forgiveness. I wasn't worried about the car at all just wtf are you guys doing? Funniest shit. They got wild drunk but in the morning totally respectful to each other again, made a major point of cleaning up their mess and then some.

As a Finn (we do cartons pretty exclusively nowadays, but we had a bagged milk era in the 70's) who's lived in Canada for over a decade, environmentally speaking cartons (at least the ones without caps) are the way to go, but for shopping convenience bags are great. You don't have a huge bulky jug to stuff in a bag nor do you have the sharp corners of cartons poking holes in your bags. Also, you get a lot more weird looks buying 4 cartons of milk rather than one bag and I can't be bothered to buy milk every other day. 😂

Bagged milk has been found to be more environmentally friendly. It takes 20 litres of water to produce a carton for 1 litre of milk for example. The use of milk bags in Western Canada could save up to 5,000 tonnes of plastic annually. I reuse/recycle my milk bags as heavy duty freezer bags and you can freeze the milk for less food waste and bulk buying when on sale. Plus easier to pour for children and arthritic hands. 😉😀
