Always bad news when your compadres of Italian descent call you "friend", especially in quotation marks. Mia culpa Don Garioli - I will submit to the Sledge-O-Matic at Road America provided you join me in a Siebkens Root Beer afterwards.!!

Viz is way funnier.....

You must submit to the Sledge-O-Matic at Lime Rock, I won't be at Road America Don Paul.

He should have known that the don ALWAYS picks the meeting place.

Very nice connection! Vis, you keep us all young! But, from now on, when I'm around you, I'm wearing a plastic trash bag.

Just in case of flying fruit particles!

[Slowhands]

Doug-- that is awesome! All the expressions are perfect! And the situation is so believable! How in the hell you find just the right shots amazes me... but perhaps this is why you keep complaining how behind on all your projects you are...

Viz, that should be your avatar. And your business card. You'd NEVER need to change it. And our friend GT would HAVE to be FOREVER subservient to you.

[cdh]

lol, thanks, I have so many pics sorted I can find pretty quickly but you're right, finding the donor shots usually takes a lot of time.

[dalyduo]

Thank God it's only the ring he has to kiss...

And so it shall be !

Great pic. Viz looks like it's just another day, this is how things are for the great Don. Doug looks like he knows what's going to happen to Paul later. And poor Paul, clueless to his fate... he just looks, well... Canadian.

I accept my fate Don Garioli - I can deserve no better that to kiss the FINGER RING (just to add a small point of clarification DD) of my Don.

As for you my friend Harsha, we Canadians have our ways of getting even. As the great Don Garioli has taught me, always wait for the right time for revenge. In your case, this coming weekend will be very busy, you may be distracted by all the activity, you may not realize that your water bottle has be spiked with ...............maple syrup and Jaeger!!. Ahhhh, revenge is a dish best served cold.

And finally to Doug, clearly a creative genius - Doug you have an amazing talent

These are great. The only concern I have for you GT is the common thread that ties everything Canadian together....that is....BEER!

The beer is great BTW. I saw a comedian recently from NJ who did a whole set on being Canadian. He was all pissed off at the Canadians for not being at all original. In fact Canada does not even have its' own cuisine according to him. We can go out to eat for Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Indian , and yes American, but did you ever hear anyone say " Hey. let's go out for Canadian tonight!"?


BTW, my fathers' side of the family all came to the US from Canada! Great people.

Au contraire my half American friend, there are many instances of Canadian cuisine. Defining what is Canadian food depends on what part of Canada you're from! The traditional cuisine varies from British Columbia (Salmon & Wild Rice, and Nanaimo Bars) to Newfoundland (Cod Cakes and fish cheeks), to Native dishes (maple sugar pie) to French Canadian Foods (Tortiere, Yellow Pea Soup and Poutine).

Speaking of Poutine, did you know it is almost uniquely Canadian to have gravy on your fries? In England, that's how they can tell Americans apart from Canadians - Canadians ask for gravy on their fries.

From the East Coast - Irish Stew, Fish Chowders, Bangbellies (a pork/rice bun), Toutons (Pork Bread), and Duffs (like a dumpling), Molasses Tarts and Partridge Berry Coffee Cake, chocolate bread pudding, oat bread, Cape Breton scones, Creamed Potato Balls, Baked Stuffed Lobster,

Native - Posole Stew (uses hominy), corn casserole, Frypan Fork Bread, Cornmeal pudding, Maple Fudge, Wojape (a berry pudding)

Quebec - Crème Caramel, French Onion Soup, Split Yellow Pea Soup, Garlic Pork Pot Roast, Cipate (Chicken, meat and vegetable casserole with biscuit topping), 3 crust blueberry pie, Tourtiere,

Ontario - Pine Nut Stuffed Quail, pickled yellow beans, apple butter, headcheese, smoked ham, creamed potatoes, vanilla pie, ice wine, BBQ's, peameal bacon (Americans refer to it as Canadian bacon - strange concept that), butter tarts

Prairies - Crusted Pork Tenderloin, Wild Mushroom Barley Ragout & Summer Vegetables, Grilled Asparagus, Saskatoon Pie


B.C. - Goats Cheese Terrine, Raisin scones with clotted cream, sablefish, Nanaimo Bars, Poached Salmon, Maple Glazed Chicken Breasts, Oysters, Flatbreads, Vegan cuisine and anything disgustingly healthy (i.e. tofu, miso soup, etc.)


The point is that Canada - the world's second largest country geographically - is a melting pot of diverse culinary heritages from Europe, Asia and North America. British and French settlers have influenced Canadian cuisine the most. The British imprint is today evident on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts while the French mark is obvious in Quebec and parts of the Maritimes. However, much credit belongs to the native First Nations and Intuit peoples who helped teach the British and French settlers how to forage, farm, hunt and cook the distinctive bounty of Canada.

Now that is
