I make a paste (sambal) of cooked medium heat chillies and use that
instead of butter when I have bread for breakfast or lunch. You
wouldn't like it

I agree, on such large continents there is even a big difference
between one coast to another. I have driven across and back three
times and it always fascinated me that each area/state/province could
be so varied.

Try telling a Minnesotan they are all the same as a New Yorker, same
applies in Canada, a British Columbian is a distant relative to a
Maritimer.

Rose petals are neither herb nor spice but extract of rose petals is
attar which is used as a flavoring such as in rose water/perfumes.
Rose hips would be an herb, used for brewing a tea, also a source of
Vitamin C.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/attar
The leaves of lavender would be an herb but not the flowers.

So what would you call the flowers when used in cookery? They
appear to satisfy definition 2 of herb.

Let me say to you both....in these current days of terrorist activity
and paranoria, probably best to not mention or even joke about such
things. Big Brother IS watching these days.

When one adds dandelions to one's salad, I'd call them a vegetable.

Lucretia, we were talking only a *cooking term* that is used the same
across the border. You are now turing this into a political rant on
how different the 2 countries are.

Whatever.

The only taco I was aware of was Taco Bell. Yes, there was at least one
Taco Bell "restaurant" in Vista, CA in 1967. They never had a problem
with leaving off the lettuce. Mom knew the school cafeteria wouldn't
customize a couple of tacos for one kid in the lunch line.

I'm sure it came in industrial sized cans. They weren't making tomato

Damn! Now I'm going to need a full body scan along with a myriad of

Jim Weller is a realtor in Yellowknife. I was facinated with the food
flow and 2 decades later, watched a few of the shows about the ice
roads. I think the weirdest thing I learned from him is they have
heaters for the sewer lines or they block. They failed one year and it
was a real mess. The rest of us think about water lines in our houses.
They have to think about underground ones too, even disposal ones.

THats something none of us in the lower USA states think about (though
probably do apply to Northern Alaska like Nome and such). Imagine your
sewage disposal bill coming with a charge to heat the sewage....

Ah! I don't think of that as vegetarian but it's ok, some do think fish
are not animals.

Water and sewage lines around here are buried deep enough that they
should not freeze during the winter. Three feet down is usually enough
to protect them here. When you get way up in the north you run into
permafrost. The ground is always frozen. Only the surface thaws out
during their short and not very hot summer.

Yes, that is my understanding. It's just an odd concept to those far
south of that when they first hear it.

a long time.
