Seriously? I think TH's coffee is bloody awful. But then I also think Starbucks tastes like cat piss, so what do I know.

Oh, and you can buy TH's coffee in the UK if you're really desperate for it, there are various places to get it. The fact that it's sold in motorway petrol stations and various Spar shops speaks volumes to me about the quality of it. ;):lol:

Re: I miss my daily
 

We tried Tim Horton's while we were on holiday and I didn't like it either.

I love dunkin donuts coffee (so flavoursome but so mild) - I actually get my friend who lives in the states to ship it to me. No kidding! :)

Re: I miss my daily
 

i miss ......maple syrup mmm poured over my fried breakfast double mmm :thumbsup::beer:

Re: I miss my daily
 

nom nom... :thumbup:

Re: I miss my daily
 

:confused:sorry nom nom ? Whats that supposed to mean

Re: I miss my daily
 

Picture somebody eating, with a mouth full, and making appreciative noises. There you go. :lol:

Re: I miss my daily
 

ahhh of course Thankyou , my wife thinks im sick for liking that so at least i now know that im not the only sicko out there then lol :thumbsup:

Re: I miss my daily
 

Your liking of Timmies places you in good company. There are over 4,000 outlets making it one the largest, most successful restaurant chains in the world. Canadians like/enjoy Tim Hortons and that's neither right nor wrong. The coffee/baked products are not to everyone's liking but neither is the products of McDonalds, Subway and other chains, including some unique to the UK such as Costa . For many years and up until fairly recently getting a decent cup of BREWED coffee in the UK was almost an exercise in futility. Apparently over 70% of Brits still drink instant coffee (yuch and ugh).

Re: I miss my daily
 

Well i love Timmies and some of their other goods like the doughnuts yum tum .
I was just telling the wife how much i miss it only for her to produce a brand new tin of it ahhhhhh thats more like it had 3 cups in about 10 mins! Will have to limit myself or the whole lot will go tonight. Still cant beat the double double in Timmies :)

Re: I miss my daily
 

sorry my friend youve got the wrong poster. Although i do like tims doughnuts i Cant stand coffee i think it was invented by the devil , my post was about pouring maple syrup over a fried breakfast :thumbsup::beer:

Re: I miss my daily
 

I quite like maple syrup with crispy bacon. I wouldn't put it on a fried egg though as that would be disgusting.

Re: I miss my daily
 

I just like bacon.

Re: I miss my daily
 

you Shouldnt knock it until youve tried it (mind you this is coming from someone who also likes mayo on a fry up ), although it does taste better on scrambled. Yes your right, it is wonderful on that skinny crispy bacon you get in Canada , not sure what kind of bacon it is but its like streaky bacon in England. Cant wait to go to a golden griddle for breakfast now after all this talk about fry ups and maple syrup :thumbsup::beer:

Re: I miss my daily
 

Sorry about that. I imagine you're an Instant lover.

Re: I miss my daily
 

One wonders how many posters on this thread believe their obesity is attributable to their genes:p

Re: I miss my daily
 

Really, old chap, this isn't a speed dating site you know! Tut, tut.

<and TH calling that sludge "coffee" is a violation of the trades description act (if there is one here).>

Re: I miss my daily
 

Well, maybe if we weren't genetically predisposed to like bacon there wouldn't be a problem.

Re: I miss my daily
 

wrong im a yorkshire tea man , and when ive moved to Canada everyone who comes to visit had better have some in their suitcase or they might as well stay at home :thumbsup:

Re: I miss my daily
 

Why the shock? There's nothing contradictory at all about those two statements.

Re: I miss my daily
 

hey now just you hold on a min , are you trying to tell me that its not everyone elses fault that im fat , and in fact its my own fault :eek: how dare you

Re: I miss my daily
 

I wonder where you think that Yorkshire tea is grown, harvested and blended.

Everyone knows that - it's from Jeff Boycotts garden.

Re: I miss my daily
 

what are you trying to tell me :eek:do you mean its not grown in the sunny tea plantations of yorkshire :eek:nooo im not listening (fingers in ears) la la la i Cant hear you :p

Re: I miss my daily
 

Geoff. Sir Geoffrey to you.

Re: I miss my daily
 

I'm saying that anyone who puts tea bags in their luggage when coming here from the UK, is a fool.

Re: I miss my daily
 

why

Re: I miss my daily
 

Do you think 'English' tea is somehow different from 'Canadian' tea?

Re: I miss my daily
 

Oh dear, do i have to spell it out? Tea is grown mostly in India, Sri Lanka, China and a few other places, none of them in the UK.

Whatever you can buy in the UK you can buy anywhere else, including Canada, although the packaging will be different.

It's like a Canadian taking tea bags from Sobey's to the UK because they're used to French on one side of the box.

Re: I miss my daily
 

Just like the peeps that put chocolate, oxo, marmite etc.etc:p

Re: I miss my daily
 

the Canadian tea that ive tried i dont find as strong as yorkshire tea, maybe there is a tea in Canada that is pretty much like yorkshire but on the odd occasion that ive been there i havent found one. Now who knows once ive been there a while i might find a tea that i like as much or better but until that time ill just keep being a FOOL and carry on drinking yorkshire tea while i still have the odd box or 2 in the cupboard

Re: I miss my daily
 

Do you think Canadian groceries are different from English groceries :confused:

Re: I miss my daily
 

I don't give it any thought Gremmie. I buy what's available locally rather than worrying about importing licorice allsorts or Walkers chips.

Re: I miss my daily
 

Your prerogative mate, but if you think that's sensible or even sane then I don't give you much chance of successfully making the change to living in a foreign country.

Re: I miss my daily
 

*sigh* ....Arniedog, looks like you've just been given a taste of egojuice there in a previous post

On a more positive note, they just opened a Timmies in Dubai last month. I think I heard you need a million bucks for a franchise? We had a Timmies in Afghanistan when I was on my tour

Re: I miss my daily
 

Tim Hortons are in London, I think someone mentioned Leeds and Glasgow before, however I think the Brits have done a crap job by the sounds of it.

Re: I miss my daily
 

Same here. I could live on just bacon. For breakfast, lunch and tea. And snacks too. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm crispy bacon.

Re: I miss my daily
 

Oh that's easily explained its owned and run by the Canadian embassy :)
Right on the doorstep in Canadian terms distance wise! IF i pay a personal visit to said embassy i'll let you know what Timmies London UK is like.

spams nice too:thumbup:

Re: I miss my daily
 

Because they are in some cases. Many North American products contain a lot of high fructose syrup - especially, but not limited to, confectionery. Much more so than in the UK. There is nothing wrong with wanting imported chocolate, oxo cubes, teabags, or any other imported food. if people like them and can afford to pay for them what's the problem? Why be judgemental about it? It doesn't affect you, or make you less of a person because you are happy with Canadian products.
