Does the peri peri sauce improve that?.. :rofl::rofl:

Re: Snack food
 

Which beers did you have? Old Vienna, Labatts Blue, Molson Canadian, Bud Light, Miller, etc etc would make me a non drinker.

Re: Snack food
 

I've never understood this.

My own preference was always for what North Americans call 'warm' beer. Bitters, ales whatever you want to call them. I didn't really have brewery preferences, most pints of bitters were okay. Directors was nice as were Ruddles, Newcastle Brown, Samuel Smith (not John) Wadworths 6X, Owd Roger, Boddington, Marston, Theakston, Tanglefoot, Royal Oak, etc etc

But on a hot summer's day there was always room for something cold when lager - or Eurofizz as we called it - would do the job instead. Even if it was Fosters or Labatt's which was hardly European. :lol:

I remember not being overly keen on Carling or another one I can't remember but we used to replace the last part of its name with 'dust'.

I was never keen on Harp either and that was only drinkable with a dash of Lime.

But really, Fosters, Heineken, Holsten, Stella (reassuringly expensive;), Skol, Viking, Carlsberg, Kronenbourg were all pretty much acceptable.

North American beers - Coors, Bud, Labbat, Moosehead, Molson etc to me are just more much of a muchness in the same way. They're beery and on a hot day they're cold and that's what you want. :thumbup::unsure::nod:

Re: Snack food
 

IMO Coors, Miller, and Budweiser all have a very unpleasant aftertaste that European and Australian lagers don't have. I have drunk Molson, Labatts, and Labatts ice when I was still in the UK and not noticed any unpleasant aftertaste.

Re: Snack food
 

off topic a bit is that brew, not really a snack food, so I'd be guessing yours is a 'Newcastle Brown' or 'Irn Bru'

Definitely need to swish down the hi-cal, salt, grease and/or chocolate with something :nod:

The mass produced adjunct pisswater, yes.

Canada actually has some incredible craft breweries - and a lot of them. In fact, in the last 2 years about 8 craft breweries have opened in Calgary alone, with another 4-5 slated to open in the next 6 months.

If you like real beer, you're in the right place. If you like Carlsberg and Fosters, then reconsider your life choices.

Re: Snack food
 

Craft beer elitism is just another example of the coastal middle class liberal imposition of cultural hegemony on North American society. It’s precisely this type of condescension that has led the precariat to see Donald Trump as their savor. If he wins in November, it'll mainly be the fault of craft beer drinkers. I say to the people of this continent, put down the warm, brown and sticky goop and open a bottle of ice-cold, yellow and fizzy nectar.

Re: Snack food
 

Domestic swill has its place. It's called breakfast.

If, however, one likes good beer, there are plenty of craft options here. I like pilsener-style (Urquell etc). The best I have ever tasted, by far, was from a microbrewery on the Ile d'Orleans (an island in the St. Lawrence near Quebec City). Very little of it gets shipped elsewhere. I'm not surprised. The locals are keeping the good stuff for themselves!

Re: Snack food
 

I had a green tea kitkat a while back. It was not good. I do like the orange ones though. Another vote for paprika Pringles, but haven't actually seen them in years. Recently developed a fondness for a snack called kheeta matta (or something like that) from the imported snacks section.

Re: Snack food
 

I really don't like Pringles, they don't seem like 'proper' crisps, I'm quite partial to a Lays Salt & Vinegar...especially in a sandwich. Roast chicken is good too.
The BBQ & ketchup/fully dressed are most horrid:thumbs_down:

I'm a dark chocolate woman, and used to love a Terry's Waifa (?) which was like a dark Kit Kat.

I've recently discovered Mango Lime Salsa, with Tostitos White Corn Scoops. Boy but is it a good snack? The salsa can be homemade or Presidents Choice have it in a jar.

Re: Snack food
 

Crisps are quite a weak point, hence a general ban over the last year or so. Ditto M&Ms. Lately its been pistachio's, but fortunately, they are easier to moderate.

Re: Snack food
 

Digestives are up there, I can polish a pack off with a cup of coffee. Snacking on random blocks of cheddar is known to happen. Speaking of cheese, I love those big tubs of Cheeselets you get at Christmas!

Oh and Brannigans, love those crisps.

The list of my favourite snacks could go on forever to be fair :)

Re: Snack food
 

God I remember those! Lovely!

Considering that labatts is actually a belgo-brazillian brewer, Coors is half american, and sleemans is Japanese i wonder whether Yorkie has had a canadian beer. On the other hand as Coors Banquet is one of the better pisswater lagers, maybe it's just a taste thing.
