So, why am I getting upset because I can't buy Stork margarine [for my home made crumbles]

What a stupid thing to get upset about!
Butter is better for crumbles. I bought a great book which is all about crumbles while I was home in London over Christmas. Besides... no hydrogenated rubbish in butter. Also it gives the crumble surface a much better taste.

Sort of related, but does anyone know where you can buy a Pork Pie in the Ottawa area? That is the only thing I miss from the UK.

Have you tried the Scottish & Irish store? There's one on Robertson in Bells Corners and another one on St Laurent.
