So your national dish is Chinese?

Not traditional Chinese, no. The accepted history is that, while working on the railroads back in the 1800s, Chinese cooks came up with the dish as an easy facsimile of cottage pie or shepherd's pie that could be made with ingredients commonly available (ground beef, creamed corn, and potatoes - the creamed corn meant they didn't need to cook up a separate gravy). Canadian railroad workers took the dish back home.

What is a Timmy and why are is donuts so good?

Tim Horton was a hockey player who co-founded a donut shop in 1964 and it grew into the franchise we know today.

IS donut code for his [redacted]?

No. It is the primary product of the store.

She was a loyalist? Man, she was old.

I would guess the war in question was WWII and the persecution referenced was against Asian Canadians.

A bad analogy?

That and a tourist trap, yes. And your airport sucks hard, bro.

I annul it with my jury powers!

Yeah baby! That's the stuff! Set that murderer free cuz you don't like abortion law!

You were asleep...

Did I say it was?

It was heavily implied, sir.

First, what I said was a joke ... party pooper. Second, thanks for the history lesson. Wait - I'm being serious. That sort of thing really does interest me and I appreciate the opportunity. It's the kind of minor detail that tends to stick in my brain.

So your national dish is Chinese? Where's that :rofl: emoticon ...

IIRC it's named so because it was served to Chinese railroad workers as it was cheap and nourishing. This story might be total bullcrap though.

(edit) didn't see that I wasn't at the end of the thread...

And the ti-morton that we mock cause people withtout taste or healthy habits go to.

She moved up north, from Canada to Greenland?

Yup and yup. Who would want to come visite here aside from rubs?

Yeah baby! That's the stuff! Set that murderer free cuz you don't like abortion law!

Exactly!

It happens.

Yup. /smokes cigarette

It was heavily implied, sir.

Nah, it's just the name of the dish. And the railroad origine is a theory, no evidence exist of it.

I guess the corn was stolen from the Natives. But it is a version of sheperd pie. Is that Chinese?

She moved up north, from Canada to Greenland?

From Canada north to the US.
