  • I've seen someone put ketchup on pizza before.  People are just awful with their condiments sometimes.

    The only thing that should go on fried potatoes is cheese curds and/ or Gravy and or Mayonnaise...  you have a problem with that?

    lol, that’s funny. ketchup on potatoes is as weird to me as gravy on fries is to you I guess. it’s just normal here. I also do know that in US some of your gravy is white and has meat or sausage in it... that’s so weird to me lol.

    I know, I had some people I worked with at my last job come here from Kansas City, Missouri. I had to entertain them a lot while they were in Canada with going out for meals and such. They told me all about American gravy and they also told me how porkis a thing there Lol. They would would ask me why pork never on menus in our restaurants.... ummmm cos it’s dead pig...

  • Yes, there's lots of dead pig options here, lol.  And KC is like the BBQ capital of the world so I imagine they were shell shocked not seeing pork around.

    They really were lol. I really enjoyed the few months I spent getting to know them though. I mean, even forums like this I feel like I get a glimpse into the subtle difference between Americas and Canadians..but my time with them i learned a lot. I really liked them. Gawd I wonder how they’re doing now. I should have added them o Facebook but I do t have it lol

  • You're missing out on all the fun though.  Political arguments between distant relatives.  People from high school wanting to be friends with you.

    Occasionally, but I generally avoid fried foods. Sometimes I will eat a sweet potato, but baked.

    Probably for the best, but sometimes fried potatoes are too good to resist. :)
