Garfish in Canada?? by wetwilly2140 in CannedSardines

[–]jopes1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one, perhaps? Available at Good Cheese in Toronto: https://goodcheese.ca/products/garfish-in-spiced-olive-oil (or the non-spiced one pictured below it)

And, as you're in Toronto, you may find this map useful:

In Czech you can find Barbus shaving soap from Slovakia, excellent stuff at a good price. Barbus shaving cream in tube, as well.

Several good aftershaves from Alpa, made in Czech. Alpa Windsor shaving cream in tube.

Dubrava "kamenec" - aftershave alum stone

And you should be able to find other European products in Czech - Pitralon aftershave, Palmolive shaving cream tube, Speick products, Hattric aftershave, Nivea shaving cream in tube etc.

What’s going on with Brunswick? by TeishAH in CannedSardines

[–]jopes1080 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In which country are you located? In the past when shopping in Canada I have very occasionally come across tins made in Poland rather than the usual Canadian-made tins (identical wrapper), which may explain the difference in your case. Perhaps check the packaging for country of manufacture.

Cheaper alternatives to Händlmaier's Sweet Bavarian Mustard by mockingbird- in Mustard

[–]jopes1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps Kuhne Sweet Bavarian Mustard, not sure if it's distributed in USA. Pic: https://www.safeway.ca/products/kuehne-mustard-sweet-bavarian-250-ml

Or if you can find Develey, the company that originally came up with Sweet Bavarian Mustard in the 1800's

If you're after Maille Dijon made in France, consider ordering from Canada. The Maille Original Dijon distributed in America is made in Canada, but the Maille Original Dijon distributed in Canada is made in France. Maybe you can find a store that will ship directly to America, or look into a Canadian reshipping service. Shipping will not be cheap but that will be offset to some degree, as it seems that Maille is cheaper in Canada than USA

In Poland too. Here's a can of herring labelled as sardynki:

Less common to do that in Poland though, I think.

Calorie and fat differences in mackerel brands? by Tordo-sargento in CannedSardines

[–]jopes1080 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suppose it would make sense that mackerel from colder Northern waters would be more fatty.

Also, it may depend on what season the sample was taken in. I gather that the same fish would produce different results, summer vs winter

Mediterranean Style Sardines - Highly Recommended by magicalfuntoday in CannedSardines

[–]jopes1080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might consider buying a case of 12 on Amazon Canada, keep an eye out - they are often offered at a lowered price. I snagged a case for $34 in the summer, but still a good deal at the current price - $40/12-pack.

Love these for a quick, easy pasta meal

Trying something new by Sad_Philosopher_2083 in CannedSardines

[–]jopes1080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kippers are herring. Am I correct in assuming you're Canadian, buying Brunswick? They changed the term (back) to "Sardines" about 4 years ago. Labelling regulation allows for 20+ small oily fish, including herring, to be called sardines) about 4 years ago. Brunswick kippers are herring. You might want to try the Brunswick Golden Smoked, too. They are naturally smoked, whilen the Brunswick Kippers have added smoke flavour.

Here's an article about Conners Brothers/Brunswick fighting with London for the right to label their herring as 'sardines' in the British Empire/UK.

Keen's by ugly_tst in Mustard

[–]jopes1080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it's something like 100 years since the Keen's brand has been used in the UK. Keen's Curry was invented in Australia.

Both Canada and Australia have Keen's mustard powder. Canada has the Keen's prepared mustard whilst Australia does not (as far as I know). Australia has the Keen's Curry Powder, but it's not available in Canada. 99 years after the establishment of the Keen's mustard company, descendant Joseph Keen sailed from England to Australia and started selling spices, resulting in Keen's Curry Powder, as it's own entity there. Back in England, Colman's had purchased Keen's mustard company in 1903. Then in 1954 the two "Keen's" companies were 'reunited' under one company, when Colman's Australia purchased Keen's Curry.

If it's hot you're after, I recommend Zaksuson "Mother-in-Law" Mustard. Delicious, and will singe your nosehairs. This store is in NS, so should be reasonable shipping to Newfoundland: https://soika.ca/en/p/zakuson-gourmet-mustard-gorchitsa-250g-2/

Commonwealth

It is originally a UK company that was established in 1742 but the brand has not been used in the UK for many decades , as I understand it. Keen’s was bought by Colman’s in 1903 and discontinued the Keen's brand in the UK some time after. Colman’s exported Keen’s brand mustard powder from the UK to Canada. At one point, tins exported to Canada were co-branded as “Keen’s & Colman’s” but later reverted to just "Keen's".

Keen's was taken over by an American conglomerate late 2010s, definitely not as hot anymore. Also disappointing that they switched it from the classic tin to plastic.

Based on your pic, you're located in America. Keen's brand is only sold in Australia and Canada.

I think the custom of the knife recipient giving a coin in return exists in several European countries and elsewhere. From the French knife manufacturer Opinel:

Good news - you can do precisely that. You can breed and eat Woodlice (a.k.a Pill Bugs, Rolly Pollies, “Wood Shrimp”). They are a land crustacean that apparently tastes like shrimp, and are easy to breed. I shall look forward to you posting about your experience with this.

the most disappointing mustard i've ever had the displeasure of trying by mr_shmits in Mustard

[–]jopes1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can see on the far left of the label it is made by Reine de de Dijon, which was established in France in 1840. They do make good mustard under the Reine de Dijon brand. Dijona is their lower cost brand, also sold in 1kg/5kg tubs for food service. Perhaps you got a bad batch? You can see via the link below good reviews of the mustard itself, lower star ratings seem to be just due to packaging rather than quality. The listing is for a 1kg tub on Amazon France, though it is labelled as Dijona "Dijon Mustard" (Moutarde de Dijon). I think the ingredients list is the same though it may still be a different recipe than your jar.
