<giggle>I paused at a little shrine up the block so Frankie could get in touch with his inner Shintoist.
I'm not a "member" of this thread, but I've been following....Are....um..."Beaver tails" better than that mushroom soup???? Just askin'....If I were Frankie I'd like to see the GREAT country outdoors-ness that is Canada....ETA...in my WEE mind...Alta said:I just caught up with nicole's last posts and zan's first ones. If nothing else Frankie is getting a world tour of food! I wonder if realizes that Canada actually has no national food unless you count poutine and scalloped potatoes served with maple syrup (yuck) neither of which I can stand. ooooh, Beaver Tails, I can show him Beaver Tails. My nieces introduced me to this dubious treat.
No, the mushroom soup was definitely better. Beaver tails are long pieces of deep fried pastry, the size and shape of a beaver tail. Then assorted toppings are offered, both sweet and savoury, and they are consumed standing on your skates on the ice of the Rideau Canal in the freezing cold. Really. Well, okay, they sell them year round but in my view the only reasonable time to eat them is when it is blistering cold enough to shut down part of your common sense.Stormdancer said:I....Are....um..."Beaver tails" better than that mushroom soup????
