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" Why do I feel that this thread is attacking Canada??

Sorry Sundog no harm meant. We're not attacking Canada after all they brought us the great band Rush.

 

I imagine there is food here in the U.S. that is just not to the liking of the peeps from other countries.

You can find stores at the mall where you can buy candy in bulk and they will have a section that has candy from other countries. Two we have here in Colorado are Fuzziwigs and Sweets from Heaven.   I like all the different kinds of candy's by Nestle/Cadbury that we don't normally get on store shelves.

Here's a question which foods are native cuisine to America? Most of the food you guys have seem to be from the other countries who have imigrated there. I guess you guys have American Cheese... but what else.. I'm curious.

I have honestly never heard, seen or even THOUGHT of milk being sold in a BAG.

 

Are other liquids in Canada sold in bags? I get that the milk jugs are transparent and the bags are opaque but... why don't you just make opaque jugs? And do your bags ever break before getting them home? I'd hate to have something prick it and have a leak! But I guess hard containers can break too. It just seems like trying to build a sandcastle with sand and no water -- It's mind boggling, I tell ya!

 

 

As for dill chips, I've had those somewhere here. I've had pickle chips too (potato chips with pickle flavor. They are better than they sound). Ketchup chips? No but I know my fiance would love them -- he owns a t-shirt that says "I put ketchup on my ketchup"

 

 

Never had poutine but I do love cheese curds. And gravy. And fries are my favorite food in the entire world. So I might like it.

 

I also think it was when I visited Montreal that I got vinegar with my fries? Or was it mayo? I eat either on fries, the latter being a death sentence but it's SO good. I LOVE FRIES.

Old Dutch has come out with Creamy Dill.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b342/sl33v/lookproductsphp.jpg

They are basically taste like sour cream and dill pickle

 

Dill chips are probably just the same as Dill Pickle

^^^ I like both sour cream and dill potato chips AND salt and vinegar flavor. So I'd probably like the pickle flavored.

Funny that I hate pickles but love pickle chips. I think it's because they are a lot like salt and vinegar.

 

 

On the same chip topic, kettle chips are the only way to go

You can buy normal jugs of milk like you can in America. If people are using bags of milk it's cause they want to. I don't use bag milk at all. Too much of a pain in the ass.
