Sorry to get off on the food tangent, and I have to admit I lied. I loved the chips I got in Ontario last summer, especially with gravy or vinegar. Didn't know about them when I was a kid - my folks gave us only healthy food.
Best of all was the corn, though. When I was little and living in Detroit, it seemed we went across the bridge to Ontario almost every weekend to go to the beach on Lake Erie and to buy produce. I didn't like the tomatoes and cantaloupe my mom forced on us, but the peaches and especially the sweet corn were terrific. I went to my cousins' cottage on Lake Erie last summer. On the way, we bought 3 dozen ears of corn, and the lady counted out 36 for us and then just kept counting - she gave us an extra half dozen free, Oh, it was good!
By the way, Tim's office in Windsor is on a street named after my ancestors. The old family homestead is now a striptease joint.
