CSeydel @Bklover sorry Kraft dinner wasn‘t invented in Canada ... it‘s just a joke because they used to call it “the national dish of Canada”. Kind of like how Spam got associated with Hawaiian cuisine? (edited) 6y
Bklover @CSeydel Hah! When I was a kid it was certainly the national dish of my house!!😉😂 6y
Dragon 🇨🇦 KD forever! Who doesn‘t love powdered cheese and butter? And Smarties! 6y

Prairiegirl_reading As a Canadian I‘ve had arguments with people as I hold a door open for them and say go ahead and they try to hold the door and say you first and I say no no you go. And then we laugh. Canada isn‘t perfect but honestly this stuff happens here. 6y
Prairiegirl_reading Oh and Nanaimo bars are the BEST THING EVER!!! 6y
CSeydel You know what was invented in Canada? California roll! 🥑 6y
