I don't recommend any of the alternatives here - I've been a game gal and tried them all and they're all GROSS!!!!!!!!!! The States is the place to go for veggie fare, sorry to say. Canada's about 13 years behind the UK in terms of thinking "veggie" (although I've heard BC are pretty advanced). Ooh, just remembered Lick's Burgers (and frozen meals). I will eat my words coz Licks veggie stuff is good - their cottage pies are THE BEST Canadian veggie food I've had (don't quote me but I think they're only available in the GTA although we had a Lick's restaurant in Barrie and the Barrie A & P sell their frozen food)[/QUOTE]
can you get that mail order as i have 2 vegies ?

Could you not get a nice turkey and pretend its chicken. I do know what you mean the chickens here are also on the tiddly side and there labelled frying or ?? I'm new to this lark. Getting my mother to post some bread sauce mix to go with turkey (I know it's lazy of me and when I have a decent kitchen i'll make my own). Will also miss Bisto Beef gravy. Is the bread here on the sweet side or is it me - a bacon sarnie aint quite the same but i'm sure we'll get used to it.

QUorn is the only "meat substitute" thats doesnt give me a bad tummy -so may be making trips to Seattle or getting friends to send it discguised as pressies!!

You should check out Whole Foods Market in West Vancouver and also Caper's Natural Food Markets (there are 3 in Vancouver) for your Quorn, they may have it. Whole Foods is also opening up another huge store right downtown Vancouver and they own the Caper's stores. They are all great natural food stores and serve amazing salads - I shop there whenever I go into the City. Lots of good vegetarian restaurants are around too!

You're showing off

If you're in BC Carri, you'll get the best deal Canada has to offer for veggie stuff, I'm sure. Avoid Yves (but don't take my word for it!).

The word on the street about Quorn not being available in Canada is that it was not subjected to the rigorous testing that the Canadian Food Agency would carry out on any new products. The fact that it's now being kicking about for 10+ years doesn't shift how Canada feels about it as a product.

Morningstar is a range of good products also available in the US.

(info lifted off the Licks website retail page http://www.lickshomeburgers.com/merchandise.html )

if the product has 'Nature' in the title it's veggie - they also do regular burgers. I apologise, it was shepherd's pie not cottage pie

34DD bras in all shapes and colours. I have found that anything above 38DD over here morphs into something that could safely assist the space shuttle upon landing. Victoria's Secret will disguise most south facing assets, providing they are below the aforementioned space shuttle cut-off size.

Thats really funny i didn't post this ?

For some balance here is what you can't get in the UK. Tim Hortons, who cares moving. Kraft dinner, don't judge me, if you have kids raised in Canada you know they love it too. A molson tshirt. Pancake mix and waffles that are made in the toaster. Also, syrup to put on the pancakes or waffles. Pumpkin in a tin, trust me I looked everywhere, ruined my thanksgiving. Plus you can't get away with picking your nose on the street corner bc there is some camera to catch you, and going shopping in your pajamas without it being assumed you have a mental health issue.

Have I lost the plot - is this good or bad...my friend craved Kraft Dinners...and asked me to bring her some back (I took a leap of faith as she couldn't remember what it was - but I got it right)...what's the fascination - isn't it just macaroni cheese????

Coffeepot

Never heard of Kraft dinners ? Pumpkin in a tin, what do you use that for, is it for pumpkin pie ?

Whats the syrup you put on pancakes and waffles yum yum, we have golden syrup and maple syrup also honey of course.

Tim Hortons apparently we do have them here now on m25 and other places,

We have great cheeses, greek yogurt, yorkshire puddings, fab chocolate and cereals that taste nice
