Hmmm.. let's see... on my mom's side of the family, my Great-Grandparents came over from Russia when they were kids, in 1899... on my dad's side I think some of my Great-Great-Grandparents came from England, Scotland, and Ireland at some point in time. So that makes me, what 4th-5th-ish generation? (I dunno, I can't count )
And since then, my family has definitely not moved around very much. The farm where my dad grew up got recognized as a 'Century Farm' or something, where it had been in the family for 100 years. My aunt and uncle and cousins live there now. As for my mom's side, the place where the Doukhabor village that all the landed Russian immigrants settled is like 5 miles from my parents' house.
As a result, I'm related to like half the town where I grew up. Well, anybody whose families have been there for a while. How's that for being a hick?

Thanks, Palm! I'd better damn well get better quickly, cause it's summer. And it's almost my birthday. Hmph.
Shuri, that's disgusting! Yech. Prairie Oysters are a food entree consisting of... *shudder* bull testicles.

Oops. Sorry, Shuri! I am sick, but even deathly illness cannot keep me away from Talk! Man but that sounds lame XD
Do we have any specifically West Coastern food? Salmon, I guess. Salmon's a big West Coast think. All seafood, really.

..Erm.. Nanaimo Bars? I dunno.. *goes and searches*
But Salmon, to me, falls into that catagory.

Hehe, I too knew what prairie oysters were. Yay for food that no person in their right mind should eat. They should do that on Fear Factor.
There's a town near Saskatoon that has a statue of a bull. People kept vandalizing it though, so he became a steer.

*cough* I've eaten Prairie Oysters on a dare. And I hope everyone knows what a muskeg is...
Ah, But I'm such a traitor to Alberta. Everyone is all "Eat only Alberta Beef!" And I'm like "I hate beef. I like Moose/Elk meat D:" And everyone tries to beat me with their slabs of steak...

^ See, now I would say that moose/elk meet is stereotypically Northern food, ie. Yukon/NWT/Nunavut. Growing up there it was like every single damned "heritage" day or whatever it was all moose meat stew. I like Moose, it's very good.
