skip the ketchup try a bit of Lousianna Hot sauce on your eggs!!! It is good!

mmmm... I don't know.....if I could stomach it - Louisanna hot sauce....on scrambled eggs?......give me ketchup any day (but I might give your suggestion a good "old Canadian try" one day).!!!

I couldn't stomach either on my eggs!!!!

Even Cadbury's from the US and from Canada taste different to each other. As Wizzard pointed out, there are loads of recipes for chocolate - even within one company. For example, "bar" chocolate is different to "Easter egg" chocolate because they have to be molded in different ways to make the final product. So you should get your sister to send a product that you can get a Canadian version of to do the direct comparison.

In addition, one factory might have different recipes fro the same product depending on its destination - eg hot countries need a different proportion of fats to help stop the chocolate melting in the shops. If you ever take a trip to the UK, try doing a visit to Cadbury World in Bournville!

And for crisps fans, Walkers now produce "Smiths Salt & Shake crisps" with the little blue packets.

As for cream cakes....no must stop drooling on the keyboard now. I guess all I really need is a job reviewing junk food to make my life complete;-)

The last time I was in England - the SE - Kent - I figured things weren't too expensive - I would buy a baguette and it would be around £5 - and then I realized that I was thinking dollars - $5 and not £5!!

On a slightly different tack - I found it really strange that when you order nachos in a restaurant you get salsa and sour cream and guacamole - but the chips are like Doritos - they are flavoured!! I thought it spoiled the nachos - I much prefer plain corn chips like we have here.

I tried those last week in shakespeare ( towards stratford ontario ) last weekend from a brit that had a store on the side of the road, they are flippin' good and I finished 2 bags before I left the store, and ended up buying loads of them, which I now take to work with me daily.

They sure beat ready salted ones, and isn't the packaging the most cutest thing, and is Gary Linekar still doing the ads, or is it Michael Owen now?

Gary Linekar is still doing them, maybe they will stop him soon as the Tesco adds with Jane Horrocks are finally coming to an end after what seems a lifetime.

Oh, and I prefer Hershey's to Cadburys anyday. Then again I also like root beer and live in Wales so It might be due to the lack of availabilty that Is appealing.

Ever tried A&W's root beer??

I like root beer too, it's the best that I've tasted.

Jane Horrocks with her mum, still doing those Tesco ads? She must be loaded by now. I always thought that her mum in those ads, and victor meldrew will make a good couple, what do you think?

What about the OXO mum, is she still on TV?

Thats what I'm drinking now as you can get A&W in bulk ordered in the UK. Have you tried Maple Soda? Now that's one I would love to try.

And I haven't seen the OXO family adverts for ages. And just think, being In Canada you missed watching Big Brother where the winner was a transexual - you lucky people.

We get north american big brother - it's not as interesting - I can't get past the white teeth and perfect bodies to get enough interest going.

The Amazing Race is much better - one of the teams is a pair of models who attempt to manipulate the other teams, another team has a very tough little lady who's a dwarf and kicks butt on the challenges like somone three times her size.

Never tried maple soda - I haven't had a root beer this year - been too intent on getting fit for races. There's a lot of calories out there with your name on them over here - if you don't dodge them, they hit and stick!

Am not big on buggers ( pardon the pun ), which will explain my slim like figure, but I do enjoy what A&W call bugger, and tuesday night is cruise night where I live, so I usually pick one up on my way from work.

I did hear about the BB winner, and how she ( or should that be he ) has now been reunited with her mum that she hasn't seen for a while. £63k seems like a tidy sum for 6 weeks work, some footballers don't even get that
