A lot of interesting flavors and very drinkable. Cheers to the Canadians! It stands to reason they’d be good at cocktails. Glad to hear of the success! Was it actual Mott’s Clamato? If so, you have lived the genuine Canadian experience, and we may have to nominate you an honorary Canadian, and award you a Hockey Night in Canada tuque! 🙂 ---

> [@wolfpup](#): > > … Was it actual Mott’s Clamato? … Yup. Like I said, that stuff is normal grocery store fare in the USA. Though what any American does with it has always been a mystery to me. Sorta like Tab until recently; it was/is a weird niche product that nobody admits to using but stores keep selling it. It just won’t die. By far the best Hockey Night I ever had was in Montreal at the old Centre Molson. NHL hockey in US cities just can’t compare, and I’ve been to many arenas around this country. Y’all folks, Quebeckers or otherwise, now how to make live hockey a real experience. And yes, I know HNiC is a CBC TV show, not a comment about attending a live game. I’m working with what I have trying to tell a tall tale here. ---

I originally just said clamato stuck up my ass would be unpleasant, but I will risk offending **wolfpup** and say it’s disgusting to drink as well, even in a Caesar. And yes, I’ve tried it many times. If a Caesar is palatable because the clam juice is subtle, there’s a way to make it even more subtle - just use regular tomato juice. But poutine is manna from heaven, so I will forgive Canada for clam juice. ---

And yes, I’ve tried it many times. If a Caesar is palatable because the clam juice is subtle, there’s a way to make it even more subtle - just use regular tomato juice. The aversion to clam juice seems like a strange comment from a talking fish, but I accept your ridiculous comment at face value, wrong as it is. I’ve already explained why clam juice cuts the thick oozy mucous consistency of tomato juice and balances it with a refreshingly bright sparkle. > [@TroutMan](#): > > But poutine is manna from heaven, so I will forgive Canada for clam juice. Poutine is really more of a Quebec thing than a Canadian thing, and has been aptly described as a heart attack on a plate. Having already had a heart attack, even without the benefit of poutine, I decline to have any. So here, too, the talking dog disagrees with the talking fish. ---

It seems I have unfortunately chosen a username similar to a recently banned poster. Also, from what I gather, the banned poster held conservative viewpoints on certain subjects, which I also do. I am not him/her. As a long time lurker and holding certain conservative viewpoints I expect to be pitted from time to time. But y’all chasing the wrong dog. ---

Yeah, and I’m trying to not worry my recent wounds. Yeah, that is a very convenient response. Despite that, if you’re not a troll, you’d be well advised to steer clear of this thread and trying to defend your crazy ideas in other threads. And I’m not going to pollute decent, cheap vodka with tomacco juice no matter how much the Canadians wanna do it. Ewww. I’ve always thought the point with vodka was to not taste much besides a mild sweetness. Well, that and to get drunk as hell.
