When fealola asked about "all dressed" potato chips, I did a little search and found it is indeed "a Canadian thing". Who knew? I also found this other site entitled "An American's Guide to Canada".
Under the "Canadianisms" section I found the following. It made me laugh 'cause it's true! I've never ever in my life given it a second thought when I see "Homo Milk" cartons in the store. Ya wouldn't find milk in the U.S.A. labelled "homo" that's for sure! *L*
Quote:Homo milk - Homogenized milk. Known in the States as whole milk. Nobody here thinks twice about what images milk cartons with the word "HOMO" in big letters on the side conjure up in the minds of Americans. A friend notes: "The term whole milk is actually used in Canada too, but refers to something different. Homo milk is homogenized milk with a butterfat content of 3.25%. Whole milk is not homogenized (it will separate if left standing for any period of time; this is the milk our parents drank). Almost all milk today is homogenized, although whole milk can still be found if one looks."

Also, I've tried several brands of "All Dressed" and they taste like a combo of barbecue, salt and vinegar, and sour cream and onion. I've never detected ketchup in it. But who knows? I'll hafta check out the package ingredients next time because I couldn't find anything online about it. Not that the ingredients will necessarily tell me much because it's pretty much all artificial flavours anyhow.
Hey, is it true that you guys in the USA don't say brown bread? I never noticed that when I lived there. Here it's commonly white or brown. (Brown being either the 60% whole wheat or the 100% whole wheat variety.)
