But seriously, what's the point? It seems like a big pain in the ass. Cartons are so much easier.

"Big pain in the ass" is what I was thinking when watching the YouTube clip. All that extra effort and hassle...

 

It reminded me of what they say about left-handed people, how they die earlier due to all the stress they must deal with in a right-handed world. These poor eastern Canadians and the hassle over their bagged milk... I'm thinking: who wants the hassle in the morning, putting this bag o' milk into the special pitcher, cutting the corner, and then having to pour ever so carefully everytime lest the whole bag falls out of the pitcher...? Do I need this little anxiety attack everytime I use the milk?

The first time I saw bagged milk was when we made the trip to Brazil a couple years ago. We had pulled in to Fortaleza on the north coast to clear customs and whatnot before continuing around to the east coast where we would be working.

Before we departed Fortaleza, I went to a local grocery store to stock up on milk and produce and other essentials for the remainder of the trip. I was looking for jugs of milk or at least cartons but didn't see any. I was beginning to think they didn't have milk at all when I found the bags. I said "WTF?". We had no pitchers or anything that we could use and I couldn't think of any way we could use the bags without spilling it so I just left without buying any.

When someone wants to buy 3 pitchers worth of milk, they leave the store with one bag. When you want X3 milk portions, how many cartons do you carry? I like the bags a lot better.

I feel the same way about Poutine!

I've never had poutine. But, I have to say, just by the looks of it, I would only eat that on a high dollar bet. It looks like boogers and gravy on fries. Yuck! 062802puke_prv.gif

 

But, in all fairness, we eat some pretty foul lookin' stuff here in the South that's actually really awesome. So, really, who am I to judge?

You might eat it; I don't. Someone else can have my portion of hog jowls and chitlins and catfish. No, really, you can have it. I'm not that hungry. no.gif

One of the funky things I like that is purely Southern via the authentic Mexican cuisine er... "establishments"... around here are the beef tounge tacos with tomatillo salsa. Just don't ever, ever take a look at the tounge before they cook it. no.gif

I wonder if Xanax prescriptions are higher in the bagged milk locations in Canada?

I was originally against the idea of poutine until I actually tasted it. Gravy, cheese curds and fries are the PERFECT food. It's not something I'm nuts about, but I like it a lot. I haven't found it properly made here in Korea.

 

I should start a thread on Korean food, but I'm honestly not crazy about most of it.

 

 

And honestly, bagged milk is NOT some dexterity challenge tongue.gif

Actually you can get beef tongue (lengua) in various mexican restaurants in California too. I've never eaten it, but it's there if you want it. 062802puke_prv.gif

 

As far as poutine, don't knock until you've tried it. It's amazing. The dill pickle chips are tasty too.

 

The milk in bags isn't hard to get used to either. You pop one in, knock it against your palm a time or two to settle the bag and cut the corner. I've never seen one fall out, the milk fits against the sides and holds it in, not even when the bag is empty.

 

This is coming from someone who was born and raised in California for the first 40 years of my life.

My wife used to eat potato chips and popcorn with ketchup when we first got married. She had a Canadian friend who got her into that. I didn't know they made them. Where can you buy these?

You can get those at just about any grocery store...I have seen them several places. Might not be these exactly but I have seen some touting Heinz ketchup as the "ingredient".

We just got the Heinz brand here in Colorado. I saw them in a K-mart ad.

 

My daughter has had the dill chips (she's a pickle freak) and dips so much stuff in mustard it makes me sick. Last week she drank all the juice from a bottle of hot peppers. wacko.gif Teenagers!

Now back to Canadian food! Milk in bags????

1) The milk in bags is meant to protect the vitamins in the milk prior to it being consumed.

 

The gallons are in transparent/semi-transparent gallons and the light will damage the vitamin content of the milk.

 

The bags are opaque and you only have 1/3 of the milk exposed to the damaging light keeping the vitamins intact longer.

 

2) Ketchup chips while not my favourite are pretty good. Dill pickle rock the house. Also Sea Salt and Pepper are tops on my list. The Americans I have brought them too (Pagscon) seem to really enjoy them!!

 

3)Poutine, - looks gross, but that leaves more for those of us that eat it. It is so freakin' yummy.... honest. Yes, it's a heart attack on a plate - but really, don't knock it until you try it.

 

4) and this one wasn't mentioned - butter tarts. In a word "divine" drool1.gif

 

 

 

Why do I feel that this thread is attacking Canada?? unsure.gif

Yes milk comes in bags, but you can also get it in Gallon Jugs too. I rarely buy bags of milk for the reason that it's a huge huge pain in the ass. The Canadian gallon jug looks exactly like an American gallon of milk. If I can find a picture of a Canadian milk jug I will post it. The name of the chain that sells gallon jugs of milk is Mac's Milk. So if you ever find yourself in Canada and you want a gallon of milk, but don't want a to buy a bag, look for store with this sign....

I completely agree that poutine with curds, and poutine sauce is disgusting. However there is more than one version of this classic Canadian dish. When you make it with shredded cheese and beef gravy it is a different tasting dish, and it's awesome!

 

I used to have a cheesesteak restaurant here in my small North Ontario town. I used to sell poutine and it was great!!! so neener neener neener.... tongue.gif

 

My restaurant...

My Poutine...

http://soundstone.net/philly/poutine.jpg

 

I also had other kinds of poutine too. I had Mexican which was really chili cheese fries, but I called it Mexican Poutine. It served it with homemade chili. It came with sour cream, guacamole, and slasa. It was a huge hit.

 

Mexican Poutin without the side stuff....

http://soundstone.net/philly/mexican.jpg

 

I also sold a version that was created by Testy's brother Mick. It was called the Carbonara Poutine

 

My Carbonara Poutine....

Just in case anyone might think that a Canadian couldn't know authentic philly cheese steaks here was my wiz wit....

http://soundstone.net/philly/philly.jpg

 

The cheesesteak part didn't have anything to do with Canada but it looks good so I showed. Now I gotta go eat.
