Not something you can do in Calgary ... maple trees don't survive in our flaky climate.

Come on now, I lived in Kitchener-Waterloo, and it gets damn cold....all you need is a few maple trees.

And no, I haven't tried marmite (not being of Scottish descent), but if I ever feel the need to throw up....I will certainly keep it in mind..... :p

It's not the cold that kills them, it's the chinooks ... some species wake too easilly from dormancy ... they think it's spring when it's only a chinook :(

Like I've told you before, you have ten perfectly good fingers if you feel the need to throw up :p

Too chicken to try a new experience??

Cluck, cluck, cluck ....

That makes more sense, but I'm still with maple syrup.

Unless the other choice is ice cream & chocolate sauce :cool:

We got the same type of weather in KW. One xmas is was warmer there then in Victoria.........try it sometime.....remember change keeps you young at heart..


If I want to experience something I'd try a Cadbury hazelnut choco bar over marmite any time..... :p

I'm just reporting what I've been told ... I'm on my second (or is that third?) attempt at growing grape vines in Calgary ... you see them in SW Ontario ... do they survive chinooks ... let's just say they haven't so far ...

You can count a Cadbury's hazelnut chocolate bar as a "new experience" ... not unless you dip it in tempura batter and deep fry it :p
