It was owned by Wendys for several years, but they spun off their interest in the company to focus on their core business, and Tim Hortons corporate office will be coming back to Canada, maybe already has.

I see.
Perhaps the putrescent slime was the product of rendering down "eager expats" (presumably mostly Chinese in this case) in the melting pot? I've heard that Tim Horton's is anyway now a subsidiary of Wendy's, or some such american corporation. |

I think you are right. Tho in the list of crappy burger joints, Wendy's is reasonable high up the pecking order - at least I'd rather eat a burger from them than a sandwich from "timmies" as people like to call it.

Yes he was an NHL player I presume he got "iced" at some point (Feb 21, 1974 to be precise).;)

This is endlessly fascinating. But why does he think that brake fluid is mustard?
From the Wiki: Early on the morning of February 21, 1974, Horton was driving on the Queen Elizabeth Way from Toronto to his home in Buffalo after the Sabres had played in Toronto the night before, in his De Tomaso Pantera sports car, a gift from Sabres' GM George "Punch" Imlach. He was negotiating a curve on the QEW where it crosses over Twelve Mile Creek in St. Catharines when he lost control and hit a concrete culvert. The impact flipped the vehicle and Horton, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected. Horton was reported dead on arrival at the local hospital. A police officer pursuing Horton's vehicle said that he had been travelling at over 160 km/h (100 mph). |

Considering the manner of his death your brake fluid analogy is macabrely (is that a word) apt.

I ordered, and was duly served, with a "ham & swiss" with mustard. Mustard? The bread roll was smeared with a disgusting yellow fluid reminiscent of sweetened brake fluid, rendering the putrid concoction utterly inedible. You requested mustard expecting this http://specialedandme.files.wordpres...hs-mustard.jpg But what you got was a variation of this http://www.billybee.com/en/grafx/new_h_mustard.gif :ohmy::eek::eek::thumbdown: |
Re: Tim Horton's mustard... wtf was that?
There's nothing good about the food at Timmies and fortunately it all has gluten in it so I can't/shouldn't eat it.
I did once try a doughnut and it was terrible. Dry and stodgy with some god awful Canadian flavour. If you want to try a real doughnut then you need to go to St John's Wood in London. The bakery on the right at the bottom of the High Street does the most divine jam doughnuts. Well it did 20 years ago. I'm rambling again, but its late and I'm at work and this is Novo's thread so I feel OK about that. It's not as if he's a sensitive flower who will faint and wilt if his mustard slime is hijacked. He may even feel good about it, but I doubt it. Still it's good to have our Marvin back isn't it? |
