Quebec Part 5: Goodie Haul!

Every time I go to Quebec, I look forward to bringing goodies back with me. This time, I felt restrained by the fact that I came with a carry-on suitcase and a backpack…it didn’t feel like enough room to bring everything I wanted to Atlanta! Needless to say, when it was all said and done, I brought back as much food as clothes back home with me.

Here’s a look at everything I brought back…

Quebec Pride

Quebec t-shirt
Silly Quebec flag headband
Plastic reusable cup, from the Quebec National Day celebrations
Quebec-themed M&M’s (Yes! I went all over the place to find them!)
A Quebec keychain
Temporary tattoos (because why not?)
A children’s book about my beautiful province
A pretty Montreal postcard to frame at some point
A “Sugar Shack” kitchen towel
A mini bottle of gin…because we quickly discovered that Quebec gin is so much better than most options we can find in the US.

Oh Canada!

A bunch of flags
A postcard and a Justin Trudeau keychain for our kitty-sitter

Sugar Rush

Cadbury Mini Eggs (because they sell them year-round in Canada!)
Maple syrup, gifted by my best friend’s parents
Popeye candy sticks (known as Popeye cigarettes when I was a child)
Cherry Blossom
A mini container of Nutella (because it was tiny and cute, and I couldn’t resist)
Tiramisu KitKat because I wanted to try it.
Mr.Big candy bar
Tiny packets of Kraft Peanut Butter (because it’s so much better than Jif!)
Coffee Crisp hot chocolate
Le Québécois popcorn (maple syrup flavor)

Savory Treats

Knorr Sidekicks, Fettucine Alfredo (because I swear they don’t taste like the US equivalent)
Kraft Dinner (again, the Canadian version isn’t like the US one)
Fruit Chow Chow
Cretons (Breakfast meat spread) spice mix
Shitake Powder (I had never seen this before so I wanted to give it a shot)
Know Cream of Leek (a favorite from my childhood)
