After 20 odd years in Canada it still irritates me.

Instead of saying "tasty" they say "flavorful," or "flavorsome."

What the heck is wrong with "Tasty?"

Steve, I think that these illustrate perfectly what Brits mean when they say they can't get good cheese in Canada. I am sure that someone will prove me wrong, but I don't recall seeing such "cheese" over here
