OK now it's well establish where you come from, my question for you as a foreigner is 'What is the BEST Louisiana Hot Sauce?'

My favorite Louisiana Hot Sauce is Crystal Hot Sauce, out of the 3 million gallons produce a year I'm repsonsible for consuming close to a million gallons a year - no not really I just love the stuff. I was wondering since you come from LA you would be in the know as the best hot suace out there.

Nobody in my family uses it, it's more of a thing where we convince drunk people to taste a little. It's too spicy!

Ranked as follows:

#1 Tobasco sauce (and all its different flavors, but the original is the best)
#2 "Louisiana" brand hot sauce (The one with the red dot)
#3-thru-idon'tcare: Everything else.

Tobasco has a long tradition here as being the most popular and most used hot sauce in and around Louisiana. It's made in Avery Island (About 5 or 6 miles away from my house) and even the salt used in the sauce is mined there and the peppers are grown there.

If you haven't tasted it, it's got a lot more kick than typical Louisiana or Crystal hot sauce. It's not as viscous, and has a more tangy flavor (original flavor).
Anyway, it's far better on a larger variety of food than the type of hot sauce you like... although I like that type as well, I just have certain applications for it. Tobasco serves nearly all my needs though.

this really depends on the area you're visiting, for the most part Canada is pale.

Canada is also a nation of immigrants, we're taught this from elementary level history classes. the first European settlers (French) landed in Port Royal, Nova Scotia in 1604 and established the Acadian culture prior to being deported by the English in 1755 and having to walk back from (or settle in) the bayous and swamps down south (the term Cajun sounds like Acadian for a reason). so for the most part the average Canadian is used to the idea of being a stranger in a familiar land.

the Vikings preceded that by upwards of a few centuries but landed in Newfoundland (which only became part of Canada in 1949) and were ultimately unsuccessful in their distinct colonization. although based on the heartiness of most Newfounlanders i don't think the Viking influence was lost or ignored.

It didn't bring me much happiness, as the whole reason of going to a foreign country is to be able to insult people in a language they don't understand. The two times we tried to make fun of people, they turned out to be Lebanese, and started shouting at us in extreme anger.

you're also the only person i've ever heard call St. Catherine's Street, St. Lebanon, and one of my co-workers was there last weekend... then again the street is over 11km long and ethnicities tend to congregate. so maybe that's how it felt in the neighborhood you spent most of your time in, but last time i was there (6 years ago) the part of the street i visited didn't look or feel any different than any other time i had visited.

Like there was only 2 Lebanese restaurants the first time I went, the second time there was a restaurant called "Mounir" on every block. The shisha is growing in popularity so there's a Lebanese café every 10 steps. All taxi drivers are Lebanese (it's like the Sikhs in NY), all the gas-station stores' cashiers are Lebanese, and the workers at McDo's are Lebanese. They're everywhere!

If I only want to count close family members that live in Montreal... I can count over 15... (17 actually). They are scarily everywhere.

Yep, I'm pretty sure Toronto is the only place I've ever had that happen to me. As far as Montreal goes, it's a nice looking city but I'm not a fan of the people. Whenever I've gone there I've to run into large numbers of douchebags, more than in any other city I can think of.

something else i noticed with bigger cities is that people who've moved into the city are usually far more accommodating to tourists and visitors than people who've lived there their whole lives.
