the Canadian version is different from the US version. The ingredients are different, and the Canadian tastes more cheesy. As Kath mentioned, even regular cheese here in the US isn't very cheesy. I have to agree. I usually buy imported cheese, at exhorbitant prices mind you! because anything I've ever tried that's made here in the US just doesn't resemble cheese IMO. Its like rubber and with very little flavour.


My husband thinks I'm crazy because I flat out refuse to eat "Kraft Mac & Cheese". It's so gross! He actually doesn't think that Kraft Dinner tastes different, so I'm glad to hear it's not just me. I just finally got used to the taste of US fast food, and I'm still iffy on the Chinese food here.

US grocery stores may have more "choices", but it's mostly just more packaged foods, definitely not fresh stuff. I miss the huge grocery stores of Canada. It is cheaper there though, so that's a plus. I've been our main grocery shopper for the past 10 months or so, and I still get confused about what kind of milk to buy.

One of the things that Im looking forward to the most about going home to Las Vegas is the MEXICAN FOOD!...

When I first came to Canada 5 years ago, the only "Mexican" products I could find were OLD EL PASO..LOL..I will say that in the last couple of years Ive noticed in my stores that they are carrying more products and not just the Old El Paso brands... I had to laugh the first time I asked my husband if he liked Mexican food and he told me "yes, I love Taco Bell"!!!!..LOL

now in the 5 years weve been married and all the trips back and forth to Vegas, Im happy to say that he now knows what Mexican food is and even knows the difference between real Mexican food and Tex Mex...
