    Dairy is heavily regulated in Canada. This is to protect the dairy industry and the Dairy producers of Canada. Hence why it’s hard to find some cheese and butter brands (ie. Kerry Gold). I think they’ve adjusted it recently for more to come in though.

Interesting fact you should know is every Costco can vary their products, depending on their customers. In your vlog, I saw some products that "my" Costco doesn't have. But one thing we have is pinic tables to eat at the food court hahahaha

    Welcome to my Costco Benji! I've never been when there hasn't been a duo pack of Kewpie Mayo. 😀 The major difference between the Canadian and USA stores is that we don't carry booze of any kind - at least in BC. I love those cheese buns you bought! I don't buy them unless they're made the same day I'm there and I have the freezer space to store them. My biggest disappointment is that we don't have the same amount of Mexican offerings as you do. I agree with you about the food court. They should have brought the seating back, and, added more tables as it's always been a bit of a nightmare getting a table/seat.

    YES, go to France, not only for the cheese, but all those bakeries! Out of this world! At the same a stopover in Belgium, the Fries and sauces, unbelievable, taste Godiva chocolate. And since Holland, my birth country, check the cheese. Edam, Gouda and others. You can rent a car and visit all these neighboring countries, even drop by Germany, further to Switzerland. That's what the family did, rent a van and toured these countries. I was based in Germany at the time.

    The annoying thing about Costcos in Canada and the US is how they only accept MC in Canada and Visa in the US. So you'd need both types with you when crossing the border. I think any type of debit/bank card is okay to use in either countries.

  • @wctoronto
    @wctoronto 2 місяці тому +1

    I concur with other comments that Costco poutine is decent for the price but not the best. I have to say their fries are very good and that’s what makes the poutine good at Costco.
    I grew up with the iconic Vita brand drink in Toronto (the VLT box you picked up). It’s a Hong Kong based company that’s been around for many decades. My parents used to buy the chrysanthemum tea drink boxes from the Chinese supermarket when I was a kid.
    I’ve had bird’s nest soup at a Chinese restaurant once long time ago. It’s an expensive delicacy that is said to be super nutritious and considered a health food in the Chinese culture. However, there’s some controversy surrounding it (you can Google info on that).
    We have a large population of Asians in certain areas around Toronto, so you may find some Asian products at some of the Costcos here too. The Costco near our house has frozen soup dumplings (it’s mediocre, not as good as the restaurants when made fresh). Their pot stickers are pretty good though (good for pan frying).
    I believe I’ve seen the fake Kewpie mayo here and have been guilty of buying it once thinking it was the real deal. Lol!
    Of all the Costcos I’ve been to in Toronto, I’ve always seen seated tables, never seen the tabletop-only setup here. Yes, worst time to go is Friday evenings and weekends. The lineups are crazy and yes, you would expect to see lineups at the sample stands too during peak times. Plus, difficult to get seats in the food area. In Toronto, we’re pretty good about returning our shopping carts to the stand.

    Birds nest is basically the spit that’s from a swollow bird.

Also expensive because it’s hard to collect as one would imagine 😂 but maybe they have new ways of harvesting this now.
