Went to "The Manx" pub for the first time.  These are so-called vegetarian tofu tacos.  Note the complete absence of sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce.  The fake meat tasted like stuffing (bread) mixed with bland taco seasonings.  It was impossible to finish.  I gave up and felt sick.

Smartfood chocolate raspberry tastes a bit weird but OK

President's Choice Sweet & Spicy Chocolate and Chili cookie thins

President's Choice Sweet & Savoury Smoky Pecan and Toffee Cookie thins

Some coworker friends and I went to Hanahana, a Korean place in Kanata.  The so called Korean Fried Chicken was a lot like General Tao (saucy) but worse.  I also got vermicelli rice rolls.  They contained some tiny brown specks as well as a brown hair!

Time to get CSI on these specks found in the rice rolls.  Unfortunately I couldn't find the camera that came with the microscope.

Seems to be plant matter.

They've started selling Xmas stuff like gingerbread

Buches "des Fetes" instead of Buches de noel.  politically correct, non denominational junk food.

making cranberry sauce

I think I boiled it too long - kinda mushy

plate #1 from work potluck

Little Red Shack pit BBQ: pulled pork sandwich meal and brisket sandwich.  The meal was kind of expensive due to the small size of the sandwich.  I liked the sandwich better than big bone bbq though because it had more sauce.

After hearing that Menchie's is so much better than Kiwi Kraze, I finally went to check it out and was severely disappointed.  Everything tasted like freezer burn!

New Lifesavers.. they were weird but OK

Birch Beer and Pineapple soda from Newfoundland.  Sara Lee brownie bites.

After months of ogling their facebook page, I went to Flapjack's Diner to try their freak shakes and breakfasts.  The brownie shake was disappointing - not chocolatey enough (maybe made with vanilla ice cream + chocolate syrup) and only a puny amount of brownies on top and fake whipped cream.  The breakfast panwich was like an egg McMuffin but with pancakes instead of an English muffin.  That part was great... but the prices are too high so I wouldn't go out of my way again.

New Lay's flavour: Swiss Chalet sauce.  Don't even bother.  It is 99% like BBQ.

The grand opening of Sizzle 'n Grill was a complete disaster.  They don't even have a shawarma rotisserie!  They were grilling things instead.  Rude customers, total chaos getting orders out and entering them into the cash register.
