In America they need to add fries to the menu. Or Poutine. Or chili/bacon cheese fries. They already have a brisket sandwich and a turkey sandwich that I like, but fries as a side would be good. I suppose they don't want to fry. So maybe they should do supreme loaded nachos or chips and guac.

Those costco nut bars will destroy your rear end since they contain arrowroot powder, the same fiber packer that is in fiber one bars. Taste good but I cannot recommend

EDIT its actually Chicory Root Extract and will cause extreme gas

Yeah they're pretty awesome.

Adding fries would require adding a deep fryer. There's no way they do that.

Even now, the burger patties are cooked on the same conveyor belt oven oven as the pizza is

The deep fryers at Canadian costcos do the fries and chicken fingers insanely hot when they come out, god drat.

I went this afternoon with my baby strapped to my chest so I could still pilot the cart, grab samples and toss massive family packs of stewing beef into the cart.

Had a dog and soda.

Usingers. They really are a good brand but I don't like the brats. The grind is too fine. I like a coarser grind for brats. They're still not bad though.

Nice post/user name combo.

Also, he speaks truth - I had to throw out the rest of the box of Fiberone bars because my rear end was out of control. I had no idea that chicory root was the responsible party, I simply thought I had broken my bowels.

The Shepard's pie is not Canada only, we have it here in Michigan. I guess it could be because of the close proximity to Canada, but there are at least some places in the US that have it.

There were these cafe latte covered almonds I tried a sample of today and I rejected the idea of getting a bag because I would eat the whole thing on the way back to the car and poo poo myself to death on the drive home.

It was real good

The ones in France are the same way. Takes a good 5-10 minutes to cool down enough to be able to eat them. And that's after ripping them in half so they cool off faster.

They run a ham and cheese croissant through the pizza oven and it comes out nice and crispy.

The super lovely thing is the soda machine. Because of the local laws there, it's illegal to sell unlimited soda. So they have barcodes on every single cup, which you have to scan at the soda fountain in order to get anything out of it. And it's only allowed to dispense soda twice for each bar code, but it is so flaky you're only going to get about 2/3rds of a cup at best.

Here is a picture I posted earlier in the thread:

I'd love that crossiant, and if you drink multiple cups of pop you have an unhealthy addiction to sugar water.

That’s good that they don’t allow unlimited sodas imo. I don’t refill mine, personally. I like the ikea low sugar drinks too, their lemon water one is good.

As disturbing as it is to hear of limited refills, I'd trade unlimited refills for those ham and cheese croissants and scorching hot tenders and fries.
