It's just that recently arriving Brits don't like the taste of the Canadian variety.
After a while they get used to them and quit whining.

I think it's the same with spaghetti.

I've sent them an email asking them if they plan on introducing the Balti to Canada and if it is here already, where I can buy it from....fingers crossed - will let you all know my reply
Sleemans do a cracking range of ales and lagers but for me it has to be the Honey...mmmm
Got a nice sweetness to it. I was a definite lager'n'lime fan "back home" but don't need to bother with the old Roses now - and at nearly $5 a bottle anyway, jeez I had to find an alternative!! LOL
Tonight, I'm on hubby's homebrew Cabernet Sauvignon and it tastes superb
