Canadian IMP 2014 Menu #1 Sausage and Hash Browns

[magu2k]

The main entree is the Sausage and Hashbrowns... it looks like what we would call "homefries". I pictured it looking more like the shredded potato hashbrowns in US MRE's. This looks bad, smells bad, and even after adding Franks Red Hot Sauce and ketchup, it tastes even worse. Yeah... things aren't looking up.

I don't mind this one, I think the taste is fine, but the smell is a bit off putting. It's not really possible to make hashbrowns in the way you would think of them in a can. In Canada, some restaurants might call pototoes prepared in this way "homefries", but almost universally, Canadians just say hashbrowns in my experience, using it to refer to almost any sort of pan fried potatoe pieces, except things like say, potatoe pancakes, or fishcakes.

I made the mistake of trying to mix the Wildberry Yogurt Protein drink in a glass instead of in the pouch.... ended up with a clumpy mess. It was horrible.

Yes, never, ever, ever try to mix it in a glass. Don't put a spoon in to stir it, or anything. just pour water in, close, shake, then pour out after.

Here in Newfoundland it would normally be called Homefries, probably a 75-25 split between that and Hashbrowns. But we do use different conventions than the restof Canada sometimes, joining the country not that long ago.

Yeah even when I lived out east (not NFLD), I only ever saw them called hashbrowns.
