I live in BC. I've Traveled to alot of Europe and about half the States and I still think here is one of the best places in the world. People are nice enough but they're still human and aren't like supernaturally nice like how it's sometimes shown in Media. I know we usually try and say we're different but it is very similar to the states in many way, however there is a much more European influence in politics and censorship. The Law is MUCH easier going here than in the States.

I've lived in NYC for a few months and in England for a year, and I've had extended trips to France, Hong Kong, and pretty much major area of the US, and I feel much the same. BC really is my favourite place in the world.

We call those mesquite BBQ.

BumFluff122

What do you call pulled pork BBQ? Because everyone I asked up there had never heard of it.

We cook the meat in 'Pits' aka 'smokers':

Cause I made some one time during the summer since no one up there had ever heard of it and they loved it (with cole slaw and BBQ Baked Beans on the side). After I sold my Computer/ISP business I considered opening a 'Southern sty1e' resturaunt up there; biscuits gravy and sausage in the morning and pit BBQ in the evening, but moved back to the US before I got anything together.

I couldn't finding biscuits and gravy anywhere, everyone went to Timmys for breakfast. :evil:

Maybe it's different where you're at, but here in lower mainland BC we just call it pulled pork, same as the US. I've been to several BBQ joints or restaurants where I could get a pulled pork sandwich. I have never heard smoked meat used to refer to pulled pork....ever. Smoked meat is generally used in reference to cured meats or meat that literally is smoked, like the Montreal variety.

When he said meat smoked in a smoker, the picture above, that was what I thought he meant.

It's a pressurised smoker. The idea is to beat the BBQ sauce into the meat with the pressure, and of course flavor with the smoke, too. But yeah, it's different than the smoked meats I had in Canada. Completely different.

I'm the opposite. Born and raised in BC, but I lived in Japan for 9 years, S. Korea for 1, Thailand for 1, Poland for 1, Saipan for 3 months, and in Bosnia and Cyprus while in the military. Coming back to Canada is always depressing for me as I realize how overtaxed we are and how superficial and consumer-driven our society is.

I did some research on Canada and I found out that Mount Logan is actually the coldest place in Canada. Mount Logan in Yukon had a record low temperature of -77.5°C (-106.6 °F) and that is the second coldest temperature outside Antarctica (Vostok station).

Depends on where in Canada you are, but here in Toronto the summers are hot as hell. Canadian peeps generally have a reputation for being friendly folk, and for the most part that is justified. The TV is pretty much the same except we're not so crazy with the censorship like the US. And yes, we have BBQ's all the time. I just went to one a couple days ago. :Dmegagene

I was abouot to say...who would want to live there with no BBQs?!

That's on the top of a mountain I'm talking about the average year round temperature at sea level. The coldest place in Canada via this method would more than likely be on the couple if Canadian islands that exist more northerly than Greenland.
