Hi Alan.
That reminds me.

I've eaten American, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Persian, Indian, French, English, Vietnamese, German etc... but never Canadian.

I've always wonder is there such thing as a Canadian food?

Please don;t say polar bear meat or Eskimo Pie.....:-p




>>>>>>Now there's the deli section (where they probably keep the abbreviated delicatessen), where they'll slice it for you in any amount you want, but it just takes too long to wait, and the sliced stuff doesn't hold too well in the fridge (either gets too dry or develops the same sticky film all over).

>>>>>The store where I shop has a kiosk at the entry where you can order what you want from the deli and they'll get it ready while you shop.

>>>>>This store also uses ziploc-type plastic bags. I find the deli meat and cheese keeps quite well. I buy half a pound of Dietz & Watson London Broil roast beef each week for my lunches; I get four sandwiches out of that. (Yeah, I know most people want more than 2 oz. on a sandwich, but I'm trying to eat carefully.)

>>>When you consider that a McDonalds quarter pounder is only 4 ounces of meat-like substance, how can 2 ounces be a lot? I mean, half the size of one of those patties?
>>
>>When you put it like that, hmmm. But one is a burger and the other a sandwich. Generally we'd buy sandwich meat by the quarter, and generally people have > 1 sandwich. Traditionally the English would put 1 or 2 thin slices of meat on a sandwich, weighing next to nothing.

>In that case, all you're really eating is bread. Why bother with the meat at all? Maybe you should try this. Serving size, 1 oz.

>>If you go to a sandwich shop nowadays in England though they heap the filling on, American style.

>Around here, most places pile it on to about 4 oz and offer larger. I don't see 4 oz as a major 'pile'.

>>OTOH we're now becoming more obese as a nation (the most in Europe), thanks to MacDonalds, KFC, Burger King, Subway et al leading us astray.

>Frankly, I don't know how people eat most of that stuff. I cannot eat a McDonalds 'burger', and KFC really turns me off. I guess I prefer my food to be actual, real food. Having said that, I do admit that do have the odd Sub. I only ever buy the small sub, but at least it tastes like it was intended for human consumption.
