Only in America...

I must be getting something wrong, in school, i was taught that Canada was a Country that is part of the continent named: "America".

So why people from the USA are always calling themselves "Americans", we Canadians could as well then call ourselves the same way.

The same way it is said that people from Germany, France, Iceland, Belgium, Norway, Sweden and so on can be called "Europeans" because their respective countries belong to the continent of Europe.

ahem...

North America is the name of the continent, not America.

Fairly lucky for Australians that they live on a continent and in a country named Australia. Can you imagine the confusion otherwise.

Secret meat,” rice, beans, bacon and All-Malt Porter mixed together. Bake with Porter-marinated bacon then wrap in Porter-soaked tortillas and additional Porter-marinated bacon strips. Finally, dip in beer-batter and deep fry.

I got the feeling this guy is a beer lover. I wonder if he's using homebrew porter...

I'm just curious. How many of you guys do what my missus does. ie: eat her dessert as a side dish to her meal?

On another off-topic side note, this weekend she had spotted dick for the first time. She liked it, but said that it would be even better with some nuts in it. Spotted dick and nuts!!? Jesus, woman, you are insatiable!!

Damn, touchy Canadians. We live in North America. Those of us south of Canada and north of Mexico live in the United States of America. Thus, we call ourselves Americans.

If we lived in the United States of North America, maybe we might call ourselves North Americans.


The bigger question is, what the hell does it matter?

I'm sitting here eating granola and yogurt feeling very inadequate as a man right now.

LOL, ya I agree.
Poutine is a rather disgusting dish introduced by Quebec.
Still, that small dish of gravy and cheese smothered fries barely looks like an appetizer when compared to some of the artery clogging monster meals in the original link.

It would be cumbersome to call us "United States of Americans". Some people have suggested that we ought to call ourselves "United Statians" or something like that. This suggestion reflects an ignorance of the history of the new world. The United States of America is the only nation to use "America" in its name but not the only nation to use "United States".

I think if a few get their way with the NAU (North American Union) it won't matter. We'll all be skipping around together with Ameros in our pocket speaking Spanglish.

I have always wanted to make philly cheese steak fries. Do you think that would make it on that site.

Thanks for this answer, didnt mean it to be a fussy or picky Canadian thing, I had just been wondering about this for years, i felt it was the best place to ask.

Ok off with that rant.

And the poutine i have posted is a lot less disgusting than the one that was previously posted, the best poutine is with a lot of fresh cheese, some crispy fries and a little sauce, but not too saucy!
otherwise it then becomes a disgusting and messy blob.
you dont want to drown the fries in sauce.

Making a tasteful Poutine is an Art in itself that few can pretend to make.

Who cares!

Ok ok ok ok.... who cares ...right

I'll just keep my questions for Google since they seem to be so annoying...

Maybe if you fried your potato pieces, then wrapped them in cheese, thinly sliced steak, bell peppers (they put those on cheese steaks, right?), then battered and deep fried them.

That sounds good.
