Came from England to the colonies in the 18th century according to Wiki. You got potatoes for your chips from the Americas, and tobacco. There's been a bit of back and forth.

Really ! In all the years I've lived in Canada I have yet to come across anyone who drinks that stuff. I thought it was the preferred tipple of British football "fans". It must be a local thing to where you are.

I used to buy Growers Cider in summer but it gave me a headache so I stopped. I have the occasional Big Rock cider and don't mind it.

I never really got cider until 3 months ago. It kind of makes sense in the summer because you can load it with ice so you are a little more hydrated and it lasts longer if it is a long day of drinking also reducing your bill. Unlike beer the ice doesn't detach the flavour to much and reduces the sweetness which is a good thing. Also cider obviously has no gluten so a bit of a fad drink now too. |
