Powdered sick... *LOL*

No, I like my nightly malty beverage at times...

DBD33 - but Pickering huh? We're going to be thereabouts initially... hhmmm
There must be a Canadian equivalent of Horlicks and Ovaltine though I suppose...

... and for the puds, I've always had electric cookers and have never had a complaint about my Yorshirers! I'm special...

hehehehehe....

I enjoy those beverages myself, especially Ovaltine and Milo. A brit that lives by us, recommended a place in mississauga to us, they sell a lot of stuff from the UK. They have a website, and they can deliver to your home as well, if you can't make it down there.

I mentioned Pickering as your profile says you're aiming for the Durham region. I haven't actually been to Pickering and I'm not suggesting, for one moment, that you would want to go there. However, if you really want that Ovaltine.....

Ouch... you're forgetting the veal, fresh fish and butternut there...

Having said that, my local Loblaws has a whole isle devoted to chips (crisps) which I find pretty incredible. Having said that, the range of fruit and veg is also fantastic (five different varieties of pomegranite juice for example)

The thing I find strange is just how long it takes milk to go off in the fridge. I've been away from home quite a lot over the last weeks (dirty stop out ) and I had a litre on the go for about 3 weeks. It never went off. This is just plain wrong...

Ah yes, it's illegal to sell real milk in Canada. My sort-of-ex has a share in a cow so she can get natural milk. I don't think there's an actual cow, rather the "share" is a device to meet the letter of the law. It mildly amuses me that she drives an SUV from Mississauga Road to Bathurst and 7 to collect this ecologically sound milk.

It's not just milk. I'm amazed at how things in general, with the exception of dead creatures, just don't seem to go off. I don't want to know what's being put in them.

Aaahhhhh.... I see... I didn't think ppl paid much attention to the profiles, so thanks!!
We're headed for Ajax initially, so I've been "about" the area a bit as the daughters of the Family member we're staying with played ringette for both Pickering and Ajax (has anyone tried to explain what ringette is to someone who's never seen it? *lol*). Seems pleasant enough from what I remember though... Family have been living there for almost 2 decades, so can't be too bad! *she hopes*

... and I've been thinking about mashing up maltesers with warm milk... that should do, shouldn't it?

Only if you can find malteesers. Seen ovaltine & horlicks in our local Loblaws/NoFrills, but never Malteesers :scared:

Re: The Horlicks.

Check out yer East Indian Stores, you know, the little corner ones that sell the spices and cooking gear.

They usually carry Horlicks, Ovaltine, Woodwards Gripe Water, Carbolic Red Soap, Mint Sauce in bottles, Vimto, Ginger Beer, Liptons Loose Tea in 1lb boxes, Oxo's, bisto, Cod Liver Oil and all kinds of hair preps.

Before I came here I got my firends Mom to give me an intensive training program on how to make Balti, Parotha, Roti, Bhajia, Dhal, Curries, Bombay Potatoes, Sabjhee. I knew moving here may have serious implications concerning curry withdrawal.

I managed to learn some Punjabi into the bargain as well so this was good.
