Canadian/American Food

I found Root Beer, the real honest to goodness A&W at my local mall!
They ship it in for me at only 2 bucks a can. Life is goooooooood.

I posted a poll in general discusion (Im not sure if the poll actually showed up or not *hmm*) but if it did, can you guys go vote?

Cheers

I know it is not Canadian, but Ukranian, but I just love Perogies and no one knows what I am talking about here.but then I didn't know what roussells (sp?)and lamingtons were either? Wish I could get some perogies in Cairns.

Hi all,

Great to hear about these sites. I am having some difficulty with the missyoucanada.ca site. Anyone else?

I am also trying to find in Auckland, Honey Grahams and tinned Pumpkin for making Pies. Love the price of wine here!

Nanaimo bars can effectively be made using wheatmeal biscuits. Not quite the same, but it works.

I also found alot of small Asia food shops strangely enough have Canadian/American imported food items? I just picked up a flat of A&W rootbeer for $20! It was a steal! I am in heaven!

If you want some KD or an Oh Henry then you have to check out ocanada.com.au It is unreal! They post it to you in a week. Graham Crackers are sold out at the moment though. : (

Bagels, smoked salmon, good dill pickles, proper mayo, iced tea powder that isn't in little sachets, Reeses Pieces and the peanut butter cups, micro brewery beers, Crown Royal, Fire Balls and Mikes Hard Lemonade, poutine, hashbrowns.... and the list goes on and on. Oh, the food I miss.

And on top of missing the good stuff, every time you order a hamburger you have to specify that you don't want beet root or shredded carrot or that nasty bar-b-que sauce. If it wasn't for the weather and the awesome people I probably would have gone home just for the (junk) food and alcohol that I miss.

Mind you, I have managed to lose weight since moving to Australia. So part of me wishes I hadn't seen all the posted web sites that are leading me to order all my bad habits over the internet...

What I have recently discovered is that Australian Cadbury's chocolate is absolutely vile, I nearly threw up, like Hershey's chocolate with sand in it.
