Re: What you can't get in Canada
Thank you - I'll think on it - but I somehow do not think our bacon consumption will justify this. My fingers might think otherwise!
I've been looking for cooking apples for weeks now with no luck. There is so much lovely red cabbage on the shelves that I need some soon? What would you use - just normal eating apples (but the sharp ones)? Or do Bramleys exist here and I just haven't found them yet?

I'll let you know how it turned out.Jo xx

I bought a Jar of PC Tikka Masala sauce and whilst not at all restaraunt quality it was on par with a Tescos jar of the same. With the PC Naan breads as well it was a really good "homemade" Indian.

Re: What you can't get in Canada
Went to the local supermarket today,( Overwaitea, great name eh)
asked for gravy granules. Met with blank stares. When I explained two or three spoonfuls in a jug and add hot water et voila gravy, the elderly lady behind us said that if we could get some then she wanted the first case!!

Re: What you can't get in Canada
Can be bought at some British Shops (at least in Calgary) for a ridiculous price. $14.00 for a 500 gram container.
Bisto gravy powder is available at most grocery stores though.

I think they're 3.99 in Zehrs (Loblaws). it's very regional, I couldn't find any granules in Winnipeg in regular supermarkets.

Has anybody used those gravy/Yorkshire pudding pouches instead?

Re: What you can't get in Canada
We get whole chickens in Kelowna - but not cheap - and they offer frying and roasting options - what's the difference(don't say one you fry, one you roast)! How do you breed chickens one of which is best for frying (how do you fry a whole chicken?) and one that is ideal as a roaster??
I'd like to find Galaxy chocolate......hmnnnn, having a Homer Simpson moment. Galaxy. Hmn....
