On Topic: Guaranteed 100% related to Rving
tim
have always had pretty much everything we wanted on board before. There
have been a few times though we couldn't find something called a grocery
store or a grocery store that sold meat. I remember 7.00 chickens. It
has been about 4 years since we spent any time, neccessating groceries,
up there.
I understand, that practically everything, is verboten to bring into
Canada from the US, now, that we really want to eat, or bring back,to
the US if purchased in Canada.
What can we take/bring back and am I going to have to let the US border
nuts tear apart the coach looking for whatever it is they look for?

The last time we were pulled over and checked at the border, the Canadian's
had a dog who sniffed our car in a matter of seconds and we were on our way.
Getting back in the U.S., they didn't have a dog and it took an hour by the
time they took apart what they wanted to see and I put it back so we could
get on our way.
Obviously the border agents talk back and forth because we were check going
both ways.

> If we go back to Ontario next summer where does one buy groceries?
You're kidding, right? The answer is... at the supermarket. We have
the big chains like Dominion, Loblaws, No Frills, IGA, Sobeys, etc.
And lots of 'local' ones as well. If you can't immediately see one,
just ask. If it's just meat you're after try M&Ms (not the candy
kind).
Believe it or not, Canadians eat food too... just not as much as you
Merkins.

It's just like our US - just different name grocery stores. No big deal.
They have huge grocery stores in shopping plazas just like here at home -
and wonderful, home grown meat without Ecoli. <g>
Malone says to go to M&M meat markets. I disagree. They are hugely
expensive and not worth it unless you're catering a party and want perfect
EVERYTHING that's mostly frozen.

I haven't found the prices much more expensive than any other butcher
or supermarket... and the quality is consistent.

Of course, it's consistent. It's like a MacDonalds only it's menu
pre-prepared frozen food - or just frozen meat which is pre-selected and
pre-packaged.
M&M was more expensive than meat at Sobey's, IGA or even Safeway in East
Toronto by along shot. I used them when needing things for parties at the
Orange Hall in Guelph. Their hor'dourves were menu perfect. We still had
our major events catered.

I think that's the whole idea.

I agree about the horses doovers... although now President's Choice
has some really good pre-prepared stuff. My wife kinda likes making
her own though.

Orange Hall used to be called "Orange Lodge". They're all over Canada,
still. There's quite a history attached to the Orangemen. In Guelph, they
still have an Orangemen Parade. Some county seats disallow them. What
isn't documented openly is that the Orangemen were the only people allowed
to own private land in Canada at one time. I'm sure that can be Googled to
find out why and when. Many Irish immigrants finally became Orangemen so
they didn't have to lease land and endure abusive treatment from Orangemen.
Canadian Orangeism and the Military is found at this link:
http://www.orangenet.org/canada/scott.htm
and gives a very brief history of some facts, but not the bad facts that
Irishmen endured at the hands of the Orangemen. The Orangemen used to burn
the Irish immigrant churches as well.
Now days, members of "Orange Hall" can't truly *be* Orangemen - they just
keep the hall for their political meetings and lease it to private parties
so the Orange Hall can afford it's own costs. That's where we used to host
family reunions and birthday parties. Hubby has a HUGE family in Ontario.
Some of the political battles that get nasty here on RORT [especially on
the neocon side] are typical attitude displayed by the Orangemen in Canada
to this day. I've been in the huge kitchen and banquet room in the
basement when they were having their political meetings. Sounded like a
bunch of old "hoods".

Hmmmnn! This would explain Stan Birch. Obviously the immigrants from
Northern Ireland brought their religious feud with them.

"The attitude of the orange yoemen was that they had a right to kill any
catholic Irish found offensive to them and that any of their members
charged should be rescued by physical force."

"Trinity" by Leon Uris is also an interesting book on this topic.
