The most recent lobsters we ate, that came from the Caribou fishermen, were stuffed and barbecued. Have your tried them cooked that way? It was my first time (I've previously only eaten them boiled) and they were actually pretty good.

I think the stuffing was comprised of lobster livers, garlic, butter, breadcrumbs and possibly some complementary spices other than the usual seasoning.

I don't care. I don't have a (connected) television. Neither do I have a radio (except Sirius). I'm still exposed to Canadian television and radio now and then and so can't help knowing that it's no better now than when I did have a television and radio. Are you going to try and make the case that Canadian television is watchable?

I'm looking forward to being a housewife for a while when we get to Canada (On) it'll give me time to locate all the lovely farmers markets I'm hearing about and really figure out how to "cook Canadian"

Something else to be aware of with food here, is that they are not required to label whether there are any GMO elements or not. This goes for everything from apples to cookies, flours, meats, everything. I tend to stick with organic/local where I can, although there are still no guarantees, but it's the best I can do. It doesn't bother everyone I know, but I also know people who have moved over, weren't aware, then looked with horror at all of the No Name brand ingredients in their kitchen cupboard.

Sounds like a very good plan to me......

What do you believe the difference is?

In the round? I'd say so. You'll likely not starve for lack of something you can stomach.

I suspect, once you arrive, you'll no longer be big cheese eaters lol

Mostly cause I've never been one before (except when I was on maternity leave with my 5 year old)

GMO has been messed about with a little too much for my liking, non-organic has been sprayed too much for my liking, and I prefer my food to be more on the natural side. Yes I'm aware that hybrid varieties both naturally occurring and humanly encouraged have been around for centuries, but engineering something that is specifically resistant to plant killing pesticides so you can just spray everything, including that which is bound for our plates, doesn't sound appetising to me. All down to personal preference, some people care, others don't. If you do, it's good to know

So, I'm guessing you wouldn't be a fan of this...

Lol! Um... no. I think it's clever what they have done, but I can't see it making it to supermarket shelves in the UK for the time being

Shard

You say that, but the supermarkets have been dishing out horse (up until recently)!

Dashie

I have no problem with horsemeat. As long as it's not GMO fed..lol! Lying, or omitting information about our food? Not so much a fan of that regardless of what's not being said, horsemeat, corn or anything else.

Fair enough. Other than intellectual property concerns, I have no issue with GM food. As you have stated, it is simply taking what farmers have done for centuries and made it faster.
