Ah! Canadianna overload!
I just spent the last hour and a bit inside a building on one mountain overlooking another during a nasty snowstorm.. .. inside with me there was a huge curling tournament going on. THen on the TV the hockey game was on, everyone was drinking beer or tea.

I feel like poutine now.

(Ewww no I don't)

3. Tomorrow grab a gun and shoot whiskey jacks
It may leave you uneasy, but I promise you, it'll make you fit in with the locals.

7. Hows about a nice grilled cheese samwidge
and chips (that's fries to the Americans) with vinegar, salt and pepper on them.

8. You guys don't eat grilled cheese down there?
Sadly, many younger, and olde Canadians now use the term "fries"

When I was a kid we called em chips and that was just in the 80s. I don't know when the switch was made, I gues I missed the meeting.

9. I'm a proud Canadian too
living in the banana belt of Vancouver island. My daughter lives just out of Seattle though and it truly is a foreign country even there, but was even more foreign where she was before in Alabama.

I think grilled cheese is more or less a Canadian thing. And I remember once in California, I ordered "fries" and asked for some vinegar for them. The waitress thought I was nuts, but brought me a bowl of it (she obviously had no idea how to serve it). Then she went into the kitchen and I could see her and the cook peering around the corner to see what I was going to do with it. It was some yucky old malt vinegar too but I felt like I had to use some anyhow.
