Hmm how legal is it to mail these things? Because maybe exchanges can happen. One country's special for another's. I'm pretty sure I can mail canned poutine and kraft dinner without getting arrested.

Funny story: One time I heard a comedic skit about canned poutine. It went something like when the plane goes down in the wilderness, you eat all the food, then cannibalize the pilot's legs, then maaaaybe if you're desperate you eat the canned poutine.

In this case though I'm just referring to cans of the sauce. The person receiving the can would have to go out and find french fries and cheese curds to put it on.

That's a relief. I thought you meant, like... a whole poutine. In a can. The face I made was just -

That would do.
Or maybe this one:


Though I fear none of them perfectly conveys the feeling of "eugh" that I had.
(Seriously, imagine it, a whole canned poutine... Eughhh)

Yeah I don't see the appeal of soaked fries either.

Or of poutine-flavoured chips, for that matter.

Happy Thanksgiving! (canadian edition)

Some thankfuls: I am thankful to Minna for her dedication and her wonderful comics. Thankful to Eich for making this forum where I've made so many wonderful friends. And lastly thankful to everyone here for being such an awesome and creative community.

Well, I'm thankful for you and all the other wonderful Canadians in this Forum.  Solovei, Luth Nightbreeze, Vafhudr, Ana, Yuuago, your hockey-playing sister -- who am I forgetting? 

Also, what's on the menu for a real Canadian Thanksgiving dinner?  (The American menu is pretty canonical: Roast turkey with stuffing and gravy, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, various kinds of winter veg. (yams, winter squash, string beans, pearl onions, etc.), pumpkin pie.)

: )

For Canadian Thanksgiving - it probably varies a little, but my family menu is pretty much the same as the American version. 'Cept we usually do a very small turkey. And the pies are always home-made.

It's pretty similar, turkey or ham, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, carrots and squash, apple or pumpkin pie. The largest difference that I can see (aside from the date) is that the US has the whole pilgrims and indians story and we don't.

Yeah as far as I am concerned it's pretty much the same as American thanksgiving, menu wise. :I
I mean, I do believe we just kind of imported up here.

We celebrate it earlier because, I presume, harvest was earlier in these cold climates.

But otherwise it's mostly an excuse to feast on the good things of fall. So as mentioned above - purées of carrots, squashes, potato mashes, apple pies or crumbles, pumpkin related stuff, attocas, mostly turkey and ham. It's basically Christmas lite.

Which is why some of us find it odd that it's celebrated so late in the US. It's a lot of turkey between the time of thanksgiving and new year's eve.
