Canadian Supper
We took a 'cultural trip' to some Canadian friends for 'supper' and were educated on quite a few differences between New Zealand and Canada.
I went eagerly anticipating the Canadian culinary
delights and didn't leave disappointed, with sweet potato, butternut squash
topped with mixed spice and sugar being a highlight along with a yummy
cottage cheese flan. That aside, though, we did discuss the she'll be
right approach to life that New Zealanders have as opposed to your
typically more focused Canadian; though, there are advantages to both
approaches. Funnily enough there was even a little confusion over what we
were being invited for, as the word 'supper' in New Zealand refers to a
snack enjoyed after dinner but in Canada it refers to the dinner itself. An
amusing website I found, which explains some more Canadian vocabulary is here.
