What food would you miss from Canada?
So many threads and discussions end up with people lamenting the loss of 'good old British grub' and hankering after Angel Delight, Jaffa cakes and other delicious UK foodstuffs.
I just wondered, if you were to return to the UK, are there any Canadian foods that you'd miss as you were walking the aisles of Sainsburys or Tescos? Hamburger helper perhaps?
I'll get the ball rolling....Oreo Cakesters! Especially the double chocolate ones!

Blueberry pancakes with maple syrup
Poutine of course....
Affordable steaks on the BBQ
Timmies donuts
Kids would miss KD
I couldnt find grape jelly in the UK for love nor money last time I was there, so PB&J would be off the menu...my kids could easily starve!

Not so much food itself but a couple of things at such low prices.
Corn cobs, Steaks and other beef joints, Prawns.

Also there's not much better to be had then a trout, right out of the water, into the pan on a riverbank for a great shore lunch.
Wild blueberries.

Not something I often enjoyed in London. But then it's not something I enjoyed in Toronto either.

Re: What food would you miss from Canada?
still haven't been brave enough to try poutine - it just looks so grim - like dog sick! Might have to give it a go, perhaps in a darkened room so I don't have to look at it.
Ashamed to say that my daughter would pine for Kraft Dinner too.....gross, but there's no accounting for taste.

Re: What food would you miss from Canada?
I moved back the the UK last year after just over 8 years in Canada. I can't think of any food I miss but my little boy misses Tim Bits.
