Re: What do you find good and bad about Canada?
It will mildly interest you to know that I had an email from my general manager just now. He and his missus took part in the Ironman thingy in BC yesterday. They both lived and are now on proper vacation. Self-catering, I guess. His email went along the lines of: "is it just me, or are groceries seriously f*****g expensive in Canada?" I gave hime some tips and kept clear of cheese. I am mulling the possibility of asking to have my salary indexed to groceries (cheese for bonuses).

I defy anyone to make authentic UK fish and chip shop chips without the right potatoes, oil and equipment, it just ain't possible (I know, I've tried). Even the guy that runs A Salt & Battery in New York admits that he can't get them quite right due to the availability of ingredients (there's a good write of that in one of Heston Blumenthal's books). Agreed on all the others though.
Best fish and chips ive had were in Dingle, Ireland and Pahia, New Zealand. BBQ'ed some freshly caught BC wild salmon last week in Sechelt... absolutely savage. Dont really like the batter thing.

But that would mean that every FnC place in the UK does it the same, which they dont.
