Best night of my life, actually. Me and three mates tried to break into a girl's only 6th form boarding school. We scattered when the Party Van turned up, mind.

Good times.

heheheh very classy


As a side note. . what is with british people and curry?

Cause none of the 'British' food either exists or is any good...

Except crumpets and fish and chips.

Racist.

Can you say... McDonalds?
OK, so you're not American, how am I supposed to know what Canadians eat?! Actually, what do Canadians eat?

yeah, I've heard about this gak called haggis, and while i know a few dakka users like it, just the idea of it makes me never want to eat again. ugh.

Maple syrup, bacon, Tim Hortons donuts and coffee, Tourtière pie and beaver tails.

All together?! Damn, put that between two buns and you've got a tasty snack.

I think you might be re-inventing British cuisine. Either that or KFC will get a hold of the idea and call it the "Canadian Heat-Attack" sandwich.

There is no British Cuisine, we just eat everyone elses food and occasionally fish and chips.
Nonetheless, don't say that KFC idea aloud! They may see the idea. Seriously, I'm expecting that to appear in an advert any second...

I have to imagine, after reading this thread, that Domino's is very different in Canada. There are to many positive things being said about it beyond "well, it is technically still pizza and it is cheap". Of course this is also poutine (french fries covered in curdled cheese and smothered in brown gravy) country we are talking about.

Thanks for that. I was about to make lunch, but now I think I can wait to eat til dinner. or next week.

Exactly, hence the Empire. We wanted Tea and Curry, and knew just how to get it. Chinese was just a little unexpected perk.

Hmmm. Good point. I think they skipped that reasoning in History, but it all makes sense...

Rubiksnoob has it correct.

If all you're eating is chain pizza, you are missing out.

Oh yes, how could I forget poutine when talking about Canadian cuisine one of Canada's most infamous dishes. Fries, cheese curds and gravy mmmmm...

Wow, that looks terrible.

Really? That's actually way truer than you realise - the British Empire was founded on things like sugar (in a MASSIVE way, the west indies had something like twice the GDP of the Thirteen Colonies around the time of the revolutionary war), spices, Tea, Coffee...

Oil and stuff like that came later.

I was informed it was mainly about money rather than 'curry' and sugar, but two birds with one stone, eh?

Yes, it was about money. In fact, once people discovered that they could exchange money for it, the weekly free sugar deliveries started to dry up. Weird that.

This is why I'm proud to be British.
