Usually my parents do a big dinner and everything for thanksgiving! My mom makes the best turkey stuffing! This year, like my signup thing said, I was in the UK so I didn't really celebrate.
I made myself a pizza though! Though I only ate 1/4th of it alongside some tomato soup! *pats belly* :3

Welcome to the club both of you! :) I've actually never been to Quebec tbh, but I've heard a lot of great things about it. As for Canadian Thanksgiving, there were 41 people here Sunday night xD. We still have a ton of leftovers to keep us busy for a while too.

Who here has ever tried proper poutine or montreal smoked ham sandwich?

I like the former (who doesnt like fries, cheese, and gravy) but the latter can be a bit spicy because they always put peppercorn sauce on the outside when I try it!

[Lightning]

Username: Lightning (but call me Erica :3)
Relation to Canada: Very much Canadian in background (part-Métis, a little ways back!). Born in Toronto, lived in Edmonton from ages 2-6, Vancouver at 7 (we brought the snow from Edmonton with us... Vancouver got its largest record snowfall in like 40 years the one year we were there lmao), Halifax from 8-12, Toronto from 13-18, and I've mostly lived in Waterloo, ON from age 19 on.
Favorite Province: I really love living in Ontario, but I think my favourite province was Nova Scotia. It was so beautiful. Haven't been back there in years though. :(

Thanksgiving at my house last week was great. <3 We had lobster one night since we've done that every year since we moved to Nova Scotia and on Thanksgiving Monday we had an early lunch of cornish hens which are kind of like individual turkeys. Wish we'd had it later but my brother had to catch his flight back to Ottawa. I don't really do big meals early in the day so I kind of missed out on a lot of it because I was full so quickly. :'(

I... actually don't like either of those! I'm not a fan of cheese which is why poutine is almost always a miss for me (although occasionally I'm good with it). Also don't like ham or smoked foods so... ;_;

My favourite Canadian foods are usually just treats and candy. Like butter tarts or Beavertails or nanaimo bars, etc. Or frozen maple syrup candy, although I'm not actually a fan of maple syrup normally? /bad Canadian

I love Canadian candy sooo much. xD Especially all the stuff that you can't get here in the states, like Aero and Caramilk. They're my two favorite candies, and you can't even get them here, which is why I get like a Jumbo Sized pack every time I go up to see family in Ontario.

[LilJz1234]

I understand why not alot of people like poutine =P
Because when i travelled around USA and Canada, the poutine tasted horrible compared to the ones we have here in Quebec

Username: Frostweaver

Relation to Canada: I lived in a freezer Edmonton. I currently attend the University of Alberta. West Edmonton Mall not exactly as interesting as it may sound (it's more of the same old same old... not that much to do there to be honest.)

Favorite Province: Alberta, probably cause I'm mostly here all my life within Canada. Moved here from asia since like grade 3 and is here since. Strangely enough, I only visited Toronto exactly once all this time XD;

Reason for Joining: Just cause =P


Poutine actually taste pretty decently but considering the health factors related to it, it's not exactly worth it to me XD;

[Lightning]

I still harbour a bit of resentment towards West Edmonton Mall since when I moved away from Edmonton, I was still way too short to ride any of the good roller coasters in the theme park. :'(

[Frostweaver]

It's obviously time for a visit then this Christmas. I'll even pick you up from the airport =P It's not a bad park to play there once in the mall, but if you live there then it does grow to be boring unless there's friends/relatives who are coming along XD;

I should take a *proper* visit to Toronto honestly and visit people around there someday...

Welcome to the club! :)
I've never actually had poutine before. What's it taste like?

Favorite Province: Alberta

I'm really surprised that so many people live(d) in Edmonton that are on PC. I think Jake once said he lived there as well. Myself, I live about 4 hours away NW of Edmonton, but I plan to head there for College in the next few years. As for foods, I've eaten a few poutines (GOOGLE CHROME SAYS IT'S SPELLED WRONG ASWDSKLD:JD:LKDJ) in my life, but I haven't found "the best" one yet.

Welcome to the club! :3 I've heard good things about Alberta, but never actually been. :(
I feel like a bad Canadian right now. Never had poutine, never been to Alberta. xD

I was at the West Edmonton Mall twice, and I had a lot of fun when I was there. I was also at the Tyrell Museum and that was the single coolest night of my life ever. I got to sleep INSIDE the museum. Where the exhibits were. Now that's something you don't get to say every day.

There's a bunch of other places I'd like to go here, though.

[Frostweaver]

I didn't even know that you're allowed to sleep there XD;

And really nothing all that special about Alberta. You aren't missing out that much ;p I'm rather surprised where's all the Vancouver people? I imagined that there's lot more Vancouver PCers as it's a bigger city too. Hey if there's enough people in Alberta, we should have our own meetup sometime haha XD

That'd be pretty fun tbh.

The only reason I got to be there was because I was with a scouts group and we had a trip to Southern Alberta. SO MUCH FUN.

[Frostweaver]

XD if we're doing random meetups, will at least need contact info so it's not like meeting random strangers. I still feel bad that I missed the PCX by a week earlier...

Back to poutine earlier: I only tried them from new york fries on campus >_>; which probably doesn't count as "real" poutine. I stopped having them though cause they're just so bad for your health. I tried those maple syrup on ice and wrap it as candy though in Quebec. It's pretty unique though I can't say that it's all that special in taste.

Yeah. I've had NYF poutines and poutines that are served at the High School's cafeteria. Nothing really special though. But the Maple Syrup candies are something I have to try some day.

[jerichob10]

NYF Poutines are the best, i always go their to get their poutine when i go to the mall with my friends.

Of all the poutines of theirs I tried, I like the plain old one the best. Their pulled pork one tastes kinda funny.

Anyways, if some of you don't know, today marks the one-year anniversary of the GP Comp Warriors tragedy. May they all rest in peace.
