i would LOVE to see a canadian section in this store.

now no i dont mean kraft dinner and ketchup all over the isles but, there are so many canadian products not available in the states, or, that are made differently. many american versions are VERY differnt than canadian ones and its so frustrating to not be able to find things i enjoy.
i have found myself a bit more at home in the english section, with some cereals and chocolate that i recognize but it is just not the same.

things like malt bread, are what i miss most. most cerals tho named the same, in the states, are different tasting in canada cornpops, most quaker oatmeals) ( i cant think of too many at the moment for that example
canadian kraft dinner is different(as well as better), lipon chicken noodle soup is very different. lipton " sidekicks" in canda are "pasta sides" in the states. american ones all haev rice and pasta in them... canadian ones do not. the selection made in canada are also different than the ones here in the usa. Kraft "bbq" sauces are differnt in canada they are flavoured, not just hot mild spicy and honey. sauces like 'wings'plum sauce(from chinese take out places in canada) are tough/impossible to find down here as well
heck even cookies (chips ahoy, oreos etc) are quite different in canada.

candies and chocolate bars are in huge demand (there are many internet sites dedicated to canadian favourites) there are minimums on orders or you have to buy cases so its not practical for a common buyer, but a store would do great.

sorry for the whineyness, but i miss my homelands food! hah.
my first and only time at jungle jims i asked for the canadian section and they said there isnt one, we just have the american groceries. that made me pretty angry lol

canadian and american groceries are very very diferent, and i wish i had canadian ones readily available, as i know many other canada to usa immigrants would appreciate it!
