    Canada's sticky, sweet, centenarian snack was born in Alberta (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There are Canadians who would not recognize the most distant ancestors of the beloved puffed wheat square, but they’re not in Red Deer, Alta. A.J. Russell was born in rural New Brunswick in 1868 but went West after a years-long rough patch in business early in life. His story is one of a plucky 19th-century self-starter who left home at 14 and worked as a lumber camp cook and in other vocations including the restaurant business before landing on candy. The original recipe for the celebrated snac

    We independently select everything we recommend. Buying through us may earn us a commission, which supports our work. Is it a boy-girl thing? Husband-wife? Is it a modern power struggle in miniature? A thousand tiny choices await inside every bag of Hostess Hickory Sticks. Salty, smoky and oh so Canadian, the matchstick shaped potato snacks were introduced in the 1970s, according to Candy Funhouse.

It’s a tale of beaver tails, the snacks that get their name from their shape, and are found by Canadians often at trailers and food trucks. They can be dressed up with a simple dusting of cinnamon and sugar as the makers intended — the “classic” is still the most popular, according to the BeaverTails website — or adorned like a DQ Blizzard on accelerants. Bananas, hot fudge, Reese’s pieces, and of course

    Combing Canada's tastiest television archives (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    David Letterman knows how to get the yuks. That’s both from the audience and in the case of his 1977 appearance on Celebrity Cooks with Bruno Gerussi, from the pot of admittedly “inedible” half-inch-thick pasta he made before their very “easily amused” eyes.
