Winter Ale is usually pretty close to Worthingtons Creamflow which I used to have back in the UK.
They've got some cracking beers on Granville Island. Second thoughts I will stick with the likes of Ricards Red, Keith's Red and Clancy's. |

You can get the tall tins (500ml) of German lager for two dollars each.
Perhaps NOT... Seriously, I only drink lager when there is nothing else. |

We found it at the Bearspaw Farmers market, sold as English Bacon, and it is produced by Spraggs Meats, based at Rosemary, Alberta. Here is their web-site: http://www.spraggsmeatshop.com/ They visit all the local farmers with their free range pork products, and their locations and days are on the web-site. Enjoy! :thumbsup: |
Re: Another bacon thread.....
Have you tried PC's Wiltshire bacon ? ( Available in Zehrs and other Loblaws' affiliates ) I much prefer this to the peameal bacon which I used to buy, much less salt than other bacon I have tried.

Re: Another bacon thread.....
In the store I use it is not with the other bacon, but in an aisle location, near but apart from the regular bacon.

I am currently on my first visit to England in 3 years. So many things I was looking forward to eating, not least english bacon. It amazing how wonderful something becomes in your own mind when you can't get it any more and - I was very disappointed it was very salty and watery and it came from a farm shop in the local market! Not near as good as the peameal I now buy in Cambridge
We were most disappointed ... They were nothing like we remembered. Likewise some friends have just returned from UK. They bolted straight to their local doner van and couldn't finish them .... They were so sad :rofl:, tried again later during the trip and same thing. I'm guessing that it's a combination of taste buds changing and confused memories. Enjoy your trip home. I'm going next year for son's wedding, first time in five years! J:) |
