Please explain to the ignorant Canadians??

I’ve noticed a few posts mention weird food or some other type of thing that we don’t get up here in Canada…I think one of them was “How do you eat your peeps?” read thru the whole post and still can’t figure out what the hell a peep is.

Next time you guys post some weird american thing,please explain what it is , so us ignorant canadians can follow the thread

Thanks
bedboy

Or ignorant Clog Boys, for that matter.

It’s a marshmallow, shaped like a rabbit or a little chick, and covered in dyed, granulated sugar. Sold primarily around Easter. I think they’re pretty foul, but hey…

(See, I can be nice.)

You’re better off not knowing what peeps are. Trust me.

I haven’t learned UBB Code yet, but this is the coolest Peeps site on the web, I think…

Thanks

OK. Maybe you Canadians can answer a few questions for us americans. Like, what is canadian bacon? :slight_smile:

i’m still trying to figure that one out myself

Canadian Bacon:

A movie starring John Candy.

What you 'muricans call Canadian bacon is simply called ham in Canada.

Er…I beg to differ, but here in the People’s Republic of Greater Toronto, Peeps are in good supply. I was just eying the drugstore display yesterday…

Canadian Bacon, on the other hand, only exists in the mind of some pork-marketing person outside of the Great White North.

:slight_smile:

bedboy4–so what do they call Peeps in Canada?

I don’t know what they call them here… But I think dentists call them “Ka-Ching”

I thought Canadian bacon was called back bacon in Canada.


It is too clear, and so it is hard to see.

< Checking my English to Urbanspeak >

Ummm…“peeps” can also mean “homies”, “homeboys”, “possie”, or friends.

Damn, I’m white.


You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing.

Hey, **Bedboy,**I didn’t know what a “peep” was, either, and I’m a born-and-raised American, but I was too embarrassed to ask. I was afraid the question, “How do you eat your peeps?” might turn out to be something like “felching”. (I’m still wishing Dr. Love hadn’t told me what it was.) :rolleyes:

On a more appetizing subject, here is what The Joy of Cooking has to say about Canadian bacon:

I don’t know what part of Canada you are from bedboy4, but I knew what peeps are and have seen them on the shelf at Zellers as a matter of fact in the past week. Peeps were the awful candy the Easter bunny used to bring us when we were kids that my dad liked, thus ensuring he got a share of the candy.

:::grumble grumble…these enlighten the Canadians (and clog boy ;)) threads have got to go:::

Well, I learned our candy “Smarties” are known as “Rockets” in Canada (or at least Newfoundland), but no one seemed to know what Kraff dinners were. What are they? Terrance & Philip mention them in a “South Park” episode.

Esprix, who has many Canadian friends


Ask the Gay Guy!

Smarties in the U.S. are one brand name of small rolled candies. Rockets are another brand name of the same. You can find both Smarties and Rockets in many U.S. stores.

Personal experience tells me Rockets are superior.

In Canada, Smarties are like strange-tasting M&Ms.(But Canadian stores sell M&Ms, too.)

Remember this; There may be a quiz later. :wink:

You sure they weren’t saying “Kraft dinner”? That’s actually the name of the Mac and Cheese stuff in the blue box. And that’s what Barenaked Ladies call it, too, so maybe that’s how it’s known in Canada?
