This was a much more pleasant food special than usual.

Canadian Food Special | Ashens

JOIN US: https://bufferfestival.com/schedule/buffer-festival-2022-toronto The snack joys of Canada have made their way to the sofa! And no, not that chewing gum that tastes of soap. We've got: Kraft Dinner, All Dressed Ruffles, Dill Pickle Chips, Canada Dry, A&W Root Beer, Coffee Crisp, Turtles, Lifesavers, Big Red Gum... All the things that Canadians said I must try for this video! Sadly no poutine, but I'm totally getting some of that when I'm in Toronto...

Shadow of Light

Only thing is that the Mac & Cheese box you have there is not from Canada. Ours is bilingual and just says KD in large letters on the front.

Have you had butter tarts and Nanaimo bars yet?

NadetteNoire

Noir sheds a patriotic tear. I agree with Shadow of Light. That's probably the American one. However I think they are the same in flavor. If you can find the butter rum lifesavers they are the best things ever in existence. I buy them online by the commercial boxes I love them so much. Also Pop Shoppe cherry cola is amazing, and this comes from someone who does not drink any pop/soda. (I hate the feel of carbonated stuff in my mouth, only make the exception with beer on rare occasions. ) But I can drink catastrophic amounts of that cherry cola when I find it. I will open the bottle, wait for it to go flat and then consume it's sugary nectar of the gods. Though I think they are more an Ontario and East Coast thing as I never saw them in Montréal, only in specialty shops on occasion. Over here on the east coast you can get them easily and they still come in the old school stubby glass bottles here.

That's odd as a Canadian gave it to me! Does it perhaps differ by area?

Ashens

Nope, I shall seek those out when I'm there. In fact the only time I've heard of butter tarts is in the lyrics to "Steal My Sunshine"!

Shadow of Light

Not likely since bilingual text is mandatory in Canada.

Ashens

Theory: The Kraft Dinner was stolen and they were trying to hide its American origins to keep the feds off their trail.

Oh I just thought of a uniquely Canadian chocolate that I adore and they are sitting in my cupboard as we speak. Cherry Blossoms are amazing. It's a syrupy cherry, that's encased in a chocolate dome with peanut pieces in the chocolate. Another thing I buy by the case. Don't judge me! lol

Alex Rockey

Make sure your sweet tooth is ready. Think little pies of sugar syrup and super sweet and rich chocolate bars.

Shadow of Light

To get the true essence of Nanaimo Bars, you must visit the west coast (and the city of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island) where they were invented!

NadetteNoire

If he does not consume those or Hickory Sticks with No Name Beer, he's not got the authentic Canadian experience. Haha!

NadetteNoire

Also with Cherry Blossoms, I have found them out here on the east coast in Walmart and some Sobeys, but they are getting harder to find. It's going to be a sad day in my world when they are no longer in existence.

Forgot all about Nanaimo bars. I'm not Canadian, but I've had them before. Dey gud.

If Ashens likes coffee flavoured things, then he should try Ferrero's "Pocket Coffee".
