...but then again. Neither are you.
I can say I'm not a typical Canadian quite easily, even before figuring out whether I'm typical of anything…

Somehow this idea has never occurred to me. I already have dinner planned for tonight, but I think this may make an appearance tomorrow night.

Cuisinart Griddler Deluxe
I need this, shame it doesn't seem to be available in the UK. Looks like it would be a fortune to import and I'd have to use a site transformer to feed it.
I had a George Foreman grill thing but it was a bit crap and seems to have vanished when I moved house.

The one I used to have was quite decent. Keep meaning to get another.

Mine was, IIRC, a gift from my ex-sister-in-law and her now-ex-husband one Christmas, or some such occasion. Other than cleaning it, like it a lot.

Looks like the previous model is available in the UK, as far as I can tell.

Does anyone know what's the difference between these models? (Apart from name and availability and stuff like that. I'm looking for a real answer here, guys.)

Seems to be mainly that the cooking area is 240 sq.in on the Griddler Deluxe and 200 sq.in on the other one.
This site has a comparison: https://bouncydeals.com/accesories/kitchen-accesories/cuisinart-griddler-one-pick/

This is Side Bar.

Being fat and making things out of cheese is sufficiently serious business that it transcends categorization.

Huh. So a "Markham Cheese Steak" is a chupaqueso with ground beef and peppers? I might have to make that someday..
(And much thanks for the detailed recipe
)

Like for the first Schlock fan I've spotted in the wild.

That was the inspiration. ;)

I think it's mainly cooking surface. Two features the Deluxe model has:
- Sear. Pushing the Sear button sets the plate to Ultra Super High for a short while. I haven't tested it to see how different Sear is from just cranking the dial to High, so I can't speak to how well this works.
- Adjustable Height. The Deluxe has a step selector. You can see it on the picture the comparison site has. It's basically just a little foot that keeps the upper plate at a certain height, so if you have a very tall sammich it won't squish it. Given the lower model weighs less, you can probably get away without this feature, and with minimal sammich squishing.
-
BTW: "Markham Cheese Steak" took first place! I've got a shiny "first place" ribbon waiting for me. =)

Oops, you said, 'International', not 'Internationale'. My bad.
EDIT: I should have been more careful in picking the version, that one is rather atypical. This collection of several version in different languages would have been better, especially if I'm using it to equally twit both the Leftards and the Rightards who infest this forum fnord.)

- Deep-fried peanut butter pickles.

- Peanut butter and jelly chicken wings.

Your cheese steak thingy couldn't compete down here. You should feel proud.

"foods"
:shoe: // wtf I tried to go for shocked
Just kidding, not really shocked. We get news stories all the time about "omg look at the crazy food americans have at state fair lolololol". Except that those news stories are basically free advertising, and we're just part of the problem by pointing and laughing.
Especially when, super-trend-setting lemmings we are-- two years after whatever "fad" swept the US' fairs, we get at our big fairs (The EX, Calgary Stampede, etc). Except more expensive and shittier, which is true of all products imported north of the border.
Example: Some years ago, you had chocolate covered bacon. Thick slices of smokey bacon, cooked to perfection, then dipped in rich chocolate to form a hard shell. Sounds good.
What we got: You know that shelf-stable "bacon" that's effectively a formed stick of protein-like ingredients and salt-- that you can microwave in 5 seconds? That, on a paper plate, with a squirt of chocolate syrup from a bottle. $10.
You should feel proud.
I feel like I got a coronary just from reading that.

Sounds like a waste of both the bacon and the chocolate.

I see no deep fried sticks of butter. Disappointed…

Even as much as I love both chocolate and bacon, I'm dubious about that combination. Make it maple instead of chocolate, though, and you have something worthy of a god (unless he/she/it/they forbid pork, but why would you worship such a deity?).

It's quite nice round there. Lots of biotech and pharma firms.

And you're WILLINGLY eating the "experimental" foods at the Fair?!?!?!?!?!?!

Of course not. But then I'm not too big on “experimental” foods in other parts of the world either.
-
It's nice to know that at least one Canadian can cook. My last trek through Canada had convinced me that Canada had perfected a flavor removing machine and it was working beyond capacity.
But then again, there is poutine so it gets confusing quickly.

It does. But it doesn't taste like a waste.

Then what does it taste like? An artery clot?
