Take over a huge bag cheese curds (freeze before leaving Canada) along with 10 cans of poutine sauce (available from the dollar store & a year supply of Lucky Charms cereal.

Coming back to Canada I always find cheese in 100g blocks good to bring back. Can be sourced for about a (pound or so) $1.80 - $2.20 range (chesire my favourite) & yes you can bring in a lot of cheese according to the CBSA website 'I declare'

hahahaha

Proper cheese is one of the things that I expect to find more cheaply in the UK.

Cheese curds, poutne and Lucky Charms....I'll leave them here for the people who really need them.

Malt loaf ... what!

Last trip over I was in Morrisions & loaded up with 10 of em. Put them in the freezer when I got back to Canada

Bloody good for you it is - is Malt loaf

Wombat7

that was because of my incorrect title. I was thinking about malt loaf in Canada and concluded I had never heard of it. When the penny finally dropped on my idiot head, I realized people were talking about those little oblong sticky loaves that, when toasted and slathered with butter, salted IMHO, are so good you hope there are a lot of people to help you eat it.

You know, I think it might go quite well with a nice crumbly bit of Cheshire!

ONLY because I'm completely comfortable with admitting my faults... I will ask.

What is a malt loaf?

(And now you all know the depravity which is my education. )

Oooooooo I will do that freeze the cheese curd thing, but I'll buy packets of St Hubert Poutine Gravy (easier to travel with than cans)... That was GOOD advice!!!! thanks!! (Still don't know what malt loaf is even after Wombat's excellent description... It sounds... Yummy? But what is it? What dies it taste like???

What is KD? Spent 8 years in Canada and I haven't got a clue what it is.

Kraft Dinner... Staple of kids everywhere.

OMG.

well, after reading there are folks who do not know what 'KD or Malt loaf' is... this has made my week a total befuddlement.

Of course it could be just 'wind-up Friday'

Editha

Of course I know what Kraft Dinner is! I'd just never heard it referred to as KD. I've never eaten it but I've seen the tacky adverts. I can't imagine why anyone would eat it, frankly, but I feel the same about cupasoup and pot noodle.

Tirytory

Yep definitely in Ontario and yes your title was definitely misleading

My bil brought 1 with him when he came...I think it was gone within 30min.... Bloody loves it we do
