I saw this and thought it was cool. Lots of these dishes I still make at home.

Well, we're trying to, anyway.

On behalf of my Canadian grandmother, Happy Canada Day.

I am sorry it was the weakest of the Letterkenny holiday episodes.

I'm right in thinking this happens every year, eh?

Well, we're trying to, anyway.

Yeah we have our very own degens from upcountry to deal with.

I'd take it! Gluten free bread can be hit or miss, but the others are often good!

I hadn't thought about this in years, but my mother learned English in Montreal.

My Mexican grandfather worked in a Canadian embassy when my mother was a young child (this would have been mid-1920s). One day her parents put her in the car, drove her to a Catholic boarding school and left her there. She had no idea this was planned and no idea for how long, but being a dutiful child she just did as she was told. She was there for months and one her clearest memories was picking a large bug out of her oatmeal, setting it beside her bowl, then continuing to eat.

So that is where she learned English. And for the rest of her life, my mother had a slight French accent to her English (that really tended to confuse people when they noticed).
