Is beaver tail slang for something I don't know??
I love Timbits and poutine. Have fun!
hi darlene - i know it sounds nasty huh.
actually my friend c recommended this. she's the one we're visiting. it's a flattened fried slab of dough that you can eat with different toppings.
timbits are like donut holes i hear. the poutine sounds like heart attack food but i'm willing to try it at least once! :)
Have a fun and safe trip! Can't wait to read all about it.
I thought you were going to eat actual beaver tail. Yes, it's a food. BTW, I've eaten langos (pronounced langosh) in Hungary. Yum! Can't go wrong with fried dough topped with sour cream.
Have fun! I've been wanting to visit Canada..need to plan a trip. I agree about Ryan Reynolds. hehee.
Have a safe trip cc! Can't wait to read about your journey. And don't forget my favorite Canuck band.....Golden Earring!
hi wc - yes, we definitely will have a good time there! we're planning on it...
i figured someone ate beaver tail somewhere in the world but no, these are beaver tail shaped pastries. also, i'm going to be seeking a hungarian restaurant that offers langos on their menu. i MUST have it!
hi kirbie
one of these days, eh!
and yes, ryan reynolds is a total hawt hottie!
hi michael - how could i overlook golden earring? Radar Love all the way bro! we leave tomorrow night and i am literally on pins and needles!
HAHAHA! It DOES sound nastaaaay, doesn't it! Sounds like something Wayne and Garth would say. "I'd like to taste your Canadian beaver". Ewww. Sorry! LOL!
Beaver tails (the pastry and not the actual beaver TAIL) = YUMMY! Totally bad for your health, but yummy.
Can't wait to see you guys! The countdown is ON! :)
hi c - leaving in a few hours for the airport....
see you in a few days!
Can't wait for your Canada post(s)! You guys took TONS of pics! LOL!
P.S. I didn't know some of the people you listed in this post were Canadian!!! LOL! Too cool.
hi c - i haven't even begun to contemplate on my upcoming posts yet...it'll literally take weeks. hopefully it won't be too boring! :)
