I think most Canadians would use regular cream in their coffee. I do for sure. As for porridge -- and I eat it winter and summer, I get the plain oatmeal and add some honey and blueberries. Maple syrup on top is great too. As for biscuits -- what we call biscuits you call scones -- great hot out of the oven with melted butter and jam! Yum.
Great vid! Love all the comparisons. Bagged milk is a new one :-) I remember Coffee Mate from when I was a kid, my parents used to use it in their coffee. Super fun video!
The main benefit of CoffeMate is that it's shelf stable - meaning no refrigeration and it lasts for ages. It's not the best tasting, but for traveling I have packets that I make up with CoffeeMate, instant coffee and a bit of sugar. As long as I can find hot water, I'm good to go.
This was fun! As a Canadian I can say I never used powdered coffee creamer 😂 only real cream , but to each thier own 😆 . The bags of milk last a long time in the freezer, just thaw it when you want to use it! Would you ever do a thrift store shop with me or haul? I love seeing inside stores and the things people find! Xoxo
Yeah I really wanted to do a vlog of me with $100 and see how much I can get from a thrift store with that much! I didn't know if people wanted to see it though
I'm a Canadian living in England and I MISS Campbell's tomato soup! Particularly because it doesn't have milk premixed in the container. (I'm vegan) Also if you havn't tried maple beans you need to! Clark's is my favourite.
Orange Pekoe is the type of tea leaf, as is Darjeeling, Jasmine and a few others. You can also get blends such as Black Tea and English Breakfast. Interesting you pronounce Sorbet as sore-bay, which is more true to the French. Most Canadians pronounce it as sher-bert. I have no idea why. For ice cream, try the Rocky Road flavour. Try a Coffee Crisp chocolate bar; a truly Canadian bar. And for desert, check the frozen section for Nanaimo Bars. They are a desert square; super sweet. Thaw them 1st, don't eat them frozen.
@@bobbbxxx I am from Ontario, and I travel quite a bit for business; eating at restaurants out of necessity. I have rarely heard "Sore-bey", outside of certain restaurants in Toronto and Ottawa. I have even seen "Orange Sherbert" once on a menu.
@@johnmarks936 I do understand everybody has different experiences with pronunciation. I live in Toronto and I've only heard it called sor-bay (and Montreal as well), but I have heard it called sherbert out west. Or sometimes called Sherbet instead of Sher-bert.
@@johnmarks936 I should add that in England there is an old-fashioned candy called Sherbet Fountain, which is a tube of flavoured powder that fizzes on the tongue. Sherbet used to refer to a fizzy fruit flavoured drink and goes back to Victorian times..
First things first ... Where do I begin??? Eewww powdered creamer. Go to Superstore and buy some Demerara sugar (not brown) empty it into a big jar throw in a chunk of peeled ginger to keep it soft(won't change the flavor,) use for tea also. Then get some REAL cream. Google fajita mix and Taco mix and make your own. You'll never go back i promise you. Just mix it into a small recycled jar. It's sooooo easy. Margarine???? Buy some butter.
4 tbsp chili powder 1 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt & pepper ½ tsp red pepper flakes 1 tbsp each smoked paprika, cumin, celery salt Then go get some nutritional yeast (usually avail bulk at health food store or Superstore) and add big handful into Taco mix same time you add the spices to ground beef.👍
You are absolutely right lol, its a milk replacement. Most people just keep it om hand in case they run out of real milk because it never sours. also very popular in public places where free coffee is set up, so they don't have to keep the milk cold. bagged milk is Ontario and East of Ontario. Manitoba and to the West we have plastic carton/jugs similar to your pic in 1, 2 and 4 litre sizes. We buy 4 litre jugs for about $4.50 at Walmart. I love your vids, they make me smile. For my Canadian suggestion. I'd love to see you tap a tree. While most Canadians have never tapped a tree in their life, I truly feel like you'll never have a more Canadian Experience then Tapping a tree. We have 6 Sugar maples that we tapped annually and make Maple Syrup. Sugar season is my favourite time of year and I think you'd love the experience. It doesn't get much more Canadian than that lol. Ontario grows the best sugar Maples so you could probably find a Maple farm that teaches and allows tapping fairly easily.
@@LouiseWareArmstrong There a place called Sugarbush Management in Huntsville Ont. I'm not sure how far that is from you. They do public tours and I believe public tapping as well. But you'll be waiting a while now. Tap season is Mar/April, so you have tons of time to check around for something local.
The coffee Whitner is to replace your milk or cream but it's definitely closer to a cream flavour then a milk one. I watched the time you tried the grape squash and the thing you gut to know is that over here if you see a bottle of fruit juice check to make sure it is concentrated. Most fruit juice you buy is not concentrated so you don't need to add water just drink it the way it is. I'm pretty sure the bottle you bought was not concentrated so you didn't need to add water which is why it was probably do bad tasting.
I think it depends on what Kraft product your buying. It’s such a common brand, with so many different products. So like Kraft dinner is pretty cheap. Then sometimes,depending on the store, a Kraft salad dressing or a condiment might be more expensive.
I don’t know what you are doing to your biscuits, but they should be like scones, not dumplings. Bisquick is the best known brand. You can make biscuits or pancakes with the same mix. Tomato soup and beans have way more sugar than the UK. - I’d recommend trying some other styles of beans though, Heinz do several kinds with lard and molasses etc. - they are very tasty and a throw back to older North American recipes. - beans were a one pot meal for pioneers and cowboys, beans, salted meats like bacon, syrup etc were all ingredients that could be carried without refrigeration, adding fat and sugar provide flavour and energy. Pataks is a 100% British company, hence the cost of exporting (they also export to India) There is only one species of tea plant. All teas come from it. Variations are in the way it is treated after picking. Some types oars dried rapidly after picking, some are dried more slowly and allowed to ferment a bit, Earl Grey has bergamot added, Lapsang Souchong is toasted over pine needles. I believe orange pekoe I just refers to the way that the leaves are cut as part of the processing
We buy Mrs Patak's too here in BC, but we always get the concentrate which is a smaller jar, is about $5-6, but it will do us for fiften meals! And we like it quite spicey! We add half milk and half water to our tomato soup and not a full tin. BTW Kraft owns Cadbury now! No coffee mate in UK? Really? It'sbeen a while but I thought me mum always had it when we went back home for a visit. We don't have any in the house and I've only ever seen it in coffee shops and restaurants in the US, never in Canada? We don't have those silly milk bags in BC, so when we visit Burlington , we go to Mac's (like 7-11) and buy the 4L plastic jugs. Great video!
Great video. I personally would not call Carnation a milk replacement. Speaking as someone who has tried to use it in water on cereal. Well it just doesn’t work. I believe it’s commonly referred to as a coffee creamer. Not cream , milk , or substitute but a creamer. You will find that a lot of no name brands. Or unbranded or store products are better than their branded counterparts. It’s all experimental thou. Some are better with different recipes. Personally when I make veggie dip. Or as I like to use it on plain chips(crisps) I find the cheapest brand of onion soup mix works best. Basically stir in 1 package of mix to 500ml of sour cream. Let sit in fridge for no less than an hour. Restir. I think what you have to understand about the Canadian lifestyle. What new immigrants or the younger generation does not see. Is that winters are milder than they where 20 years ago. We also have better equipment and handle snow better than we did 20 years ago. If you look at it from that perspective. You can see how trips to town/market would be effected. How larger stoves for canning, Larger fridges and freezers for goods would be sought after. How buying in bulk. Would be effected. Yes and even as we do not like to waste how sone meals would be larger. I can remember on various occasions my mother saying we need to eat this before it spoils. It was never bad or turned. You just planned it so it never got that way. It is a long standing North American tradition to buy in bulk. In the past out of necessity. Nowadays more out of habit or to be cost effective. I would like to point out out. That usually any family with a minimum of one child. Has one extra appliance. A freezer. Not fridge freezer. But a stand alone freezer. I love the stove top stuffing mix. However. I use it to make meatloaf with. I would like to see you try something. Here’s what you do. Next time you go shopping you get a can of “Chili style” Heinz beans. Buy some hot dogs and some hot dog buns and an onion(optional). Prepare hot dogs as you normally would. Heat beans , place on top of hot dog with optional chopped onions. Add mustard to taste. (Some like sone don’t. ) That’s my home made chili dog.
Kraft isn't so much known for being cheap. But, their products are generally of good quality, eg. Kraft peanut butter, Kraft Dinner (KD), Kraft cheese slices, etc...
@@LouiseWareArmstrong I’m always interested in other ppl’s tea making … I’m picky. Need to make sure it’s brewed super strong. Milk in cup after brewing. And no shitty generic tea bags. Yorkshire only.
You're convincing me everyday that I need to move from the UK to Canada.... Those milk prices though. How much is tuna there? Is it as expensive as over here?
I don’t know the price over there. Speaking from personal experience thou. Tuna is one of the many items you would find in a Canadian pantry. By that I mean you don’t buy it at its regular price. You buy it on sale and enough cans to last you till the next sale. On sale good price .99 cents a can. Have seen better prices depending on brand. IMHO Clover Leaf only brand to buy. With the exception perhaps of the Costco name brand.
@@LouiseWareArmstrong Yes please on the shop with me. I have been considering Canada as a place to move for about a year or so now so your channel helps me so much to see a realistic way and cost of living because in England (I'm in Birmingham), its completely different. I don't want to move there and be out of my depth so thank you for the videos. I would love a shop with me and grocery Hall so I could gage how much it is etc and the things they have xx
Do you eat fresh fruit and vegetables?? Or read the labels on some of the things you buy? They really aren’t good for you - very high in salt and sugar in particular. Sorry I’m just an old lady who finds new Canadians very interesting. But, as a mother, I’m worrying about what you are eating. Also in Manitoba, one thing there is no GST or PST on is real food; but junk food (like chips or crisps as you call them are taxed).
Thank you for looking out for us!, I eat ALOT of veg. In my day off vlogs I show you my dinners I make most vlogs and I always use fresh veg and meat. I just didn't show them in this video because they are the same as the UK so didn't think any one would of wanted to see my cucumbers, lettuce, spring onions, peppers etc
In the video I stated I only did it as its a trend on TH-cam and I have never ate anything from 7-11 before. At the end I said how horrible I felt from the food so won't be doing it again. I love healthy food I much rather have a salad for dinner then a pizza, so im all good :) but thank you for caring its something my mum would say too me haha xx

With the bags of milk, take one bag out to use and then freeze the other two. Them defrost one of the bags, snip the corner and use with the jug.
My freezer is so small I never had enough space to freeze it :(

Aww thank you so much!!
