Canadian Ham Operation

Everyone tries it but i dont know anyone who has been successful duplicating it. The better ones get the steak right but i havent seen one that got the rolls right. I think you gotta have that schuylkill river water to make them taste right lol.

all i have tried are decent. They just arent the same as the ones in phila or imo as good.

Phila is a decent city for being an old east coast city and worth the trip. The constitution center, cheesesteaks, and primo hoagies are some of the highlights. Lots of good museums and if the falafel **** (sorry for the use of that term but it is really what he is known as. You can google him) is still at 20th and broad he is a must see. The italian market and reading terminal market are great for foodies and lots of revolutionary war stuff if that is your thing.

except there was a place 40 yrs. back on 23rd. St. in Panama City, Fla. The owner was from Chicago.

Makes me wonder what the big secret is with some of this food stuff.

Part is altitude, part is companies mucking with ingredients, some is water and regional differences. The exact same product from the same company isnt the same in different locations. I used to help my parents make holiday breads to sell to raise money for christmas. Every time we opened a new bag of flour even though same brand and bought on the same day from the same company it was different and the breads were different. Same with the eggs and a lot of other ingredients. Never would have noticed if we only used it in regular cooking

John,

I had no idea you were a ham. But with only 101 checking up on you on QRZ.COM, it's obvious you're not very active. It was at 100 exactly before me.

13,341 have check up on me and most of those were just in the last few years because I wasn't active for countless years before that.

BTW, are you really up that far north, in the Cold Lake area?

No. Angela and I wrote our ticket when we posted to 4 wing cold lake Alberta in the early 90’s. We are now retired and living in the Okanagan valley of BC in Vernon.

Are you supposed to update the info. on your license which will update QRZ?

Years ago, I had an Uncle living in California, and twice a year or so, he would drive to Wisconsin with their Oldsmobile station wagon. Before heading back to CA, he packed that station wagon with as many cases of Miller High Life beer as he could. Claimed the Miller brewed in CA didn’t taste the same as brewed in Milwaukee.

I've heard of Canadian Bacon, but didn't know they had their own ham too.

Well, there's LaFluer and Greenfield, the big corporate brands. Then there's Steerman's Quality Meats. I'm a Steerman man m'self. Old family run company on PEI. Salt air, iron-rich soil, and rolling pastures produce healthy, stress-free animals. Yessireee, can't go wrong with a Steerman on your plate, eh.

I've heard similar stories of people that made trips west to stock up on Coors before it became a national brand. Being a beer snob I can't imagine why anyone would bother with pedestrian swill. If you're going to haul cases of something a thousand miles, make it worthwhile. The craft beer trends are generally disappointing with their bent on uber IPA's, fruit beers, sours and the like. I was pleasantly surprised to find some excellent offerings at the Potosi brewery in WI, and indeed I did pack the "station wagon" (RV) with sufficient stocks for the harsh NM winter. New Glarus (also WI) is known for their spotted cow ale which is unremarkable but their seasonal staghorn scotch ale was a surprise and a few cases of that found their way back to ABQ as well. So even in WI it's possible to find something worth hauling.

In the 70’s Coors was not sold E of the Mississippi. I was in Florida and now and then someone would drive back with a truckload of the legendary Coor’s. I didn’t like beer but I’d pretend Coor’s was different so I wouldn’t be weird, but it was really just beer.
