I agree,
never heard of des ploys, but i've bought fiddle heads at Loblaws ( i hear that too many are poisonous). I think (not entirely sure tho) that sugar pies are analogous to butter tarts, maybe bigger. I love smoked trout, and buy it at the afforementioned Loblaws. VH Plum sauce. that the standard fare for chicken fingers. It comes in a plastic packet like ktchup, but clear. Or, again y oucan buy it at loblaws in a bottle.
I met a friendly person at woodbine and danforth on saturday. it was nice. caramel spread. I bought some president's choice stuff that I warm in the microwave and drizzle on ice cream. Or I make my own.
I didn't know what redskins on hot dogs were, until i bought a pack of Red Hots, which are all pork. They are light brown, so now i know that the regular all beef dawgs are redder...
So, there is some regionalism, but not much. I do find that I feel more at home in, let's say vancouver, (4K KM away) than in Buffalo (not 4K km away).
