How ruuuuuude!
Like Canadiana is famous for its cuisine.... 
Weird things you have read about. Page 10
I never watch cooking programmes, Curt, it's just cheap TV. Too much modern TV is given over to these sort of lifestyle shows, it's just wallpaper.

Moose burgers? 
Quote: Aaron @ September 26 2008, 4:40 PM BSTMoose burgers?
That my friend is a delicious meal and a delicacy....since you have to get a hunting license, get a Moose tag to be allowed to kill a moose, find a moose, kill it, butcher it and then cook it.
So if you find yourself being offered a Moose burger be sure to take it.

You forget - we have the French, thus our food tastes good.
Pah.
If we're going by that, we have every nationality in the world here! So our food is the bestest in allll the world.

Here here! Thank god for multiculturalism because I could not live what the founders of my country eat. *clinks a glass of wine*

I know the nice French are outnumbered by the assholes but I'm telling you, you'd love Northern Ontario French. The're funny, polite, hard working and all around good folks. I should know, half my family is made of them. 
I know, I'm just f**kin' widja.

Not at all biased then.
Your hate for the French knows no bounds I see. Culinary or geographic. 
Much of my hatred of them comes from the cuisine.

wow must have been some really bad food.
And don't get me wrong we have our assholes.
Example:
-My home town has the highest population of French in Canada outside of Quebec.
-In High School I worked pumping gas, it was the ONLY job I could get (mainly because I didn't speak French).
-Anyways I go to pump this guys gas and before I can say anything he yells out his side window "Remplis!" (It's a slang for Fill it up).
- I fill it up, I wash his windows and even check his oil fill up his van and ask for the amount that is owed (in French) but he catches my poor French accent right away.
- Fat French F**k: "YOU ARE NOT FRENCH?!". He tares into me and has the nerve to say I should 'not have been hired' because I was English.
-Curt: I wait until he's finished and say "I...pump...gas how much lower down do the ladder do you want me to go?"
- FFF: Yells at me a bit more for being a stupid Englishman and how I should be more respectful to him because his people built this city. Oh yes and then he hands me his Visa....
-I say nothing else, take his Visa and process it. While waiting for it to process I write down his name from the card and have him sign it. He calls me a few more names, tells me he's going to complain to my boss and leaves.
I then do 2 things:
1) I call up my boss and tell him what happened. He doesn't care and tells me to close down the station for a few minutes, go have a smoke and relax (note: he's French). As a side note later in the week he bought me some beer because he felt bad about what happened.
2) I take that name written down look it up in the phone book, take down his address and that night me and my friends (anglo and franco included) do a hardcore Drive By Egging. The guy never again showed up at the gas station, the last time I saw him was when we drove by the next day to see him trying to scrub off the now hard egg (it was winter) off his brick siding.
This may sound like an exaggeration but it's not. The guy was that much of an asshole. Overall I can't remember ever meeting anyone else like that...in my home town at least. I've meet them in Quebec and Ottawa though.
That is actually ace.
