healthcare, yeah yeah
in this installment of hashtag smack your lip
we're going to be tasting some snacks from Canada
shout out to my internet cousin Madame la Prof
you gotta do, la Prof, not Prof
for sending me the snacks in the mail.
I don't, I don't too much know much about Canada and the
food they got and the snacks and the snacks that they
that they have to offer.
But first, a disclaimer.
(music)
I love notes. Bonjour du Quebec.
That means hello from Quabec.
I have to stick to non perishable treats.
Therefore I could not send you poutine, meat pies.
Otherwise known as
you gon play me with this word.
Toutiere, toutiere
yes I sent you a sauce packet for poutine.
In lieu - in French I guess that's "in lieu" -
In lieu of real maple syrup,
I offer maple cookies.
What are internet cousins for?
With love, avec amour, amour.
Isabelle aka madame la Prof.
Your cousine Quebecoise (struggles)
Your cousine Quebecoise Canadienne.
That actually reminds me, by the time y'all see this video
I will likely
be in Canada.
I'm going to Canada to premiere a short film that I made
with my brother called "Hello Tim" him at Buffer Fest.
All right, here we have.
Oh, okay.
Everything's in French.
All right, so we got some of Grandma's Molasses Cookies.
This is gonna be good.
I Oh my god.
Okay, I'm excited.
And they're soft.
Look at this, hold on
I love a soft cookie.
If I wanted crackers, I would eat that.
All right, I'm looking at you Famous Amos.
I don't have a drink, I need some almond milk.
It's giving me fall - can't relate.
I live in Texas, we don't have autumn
it's giving me molasses,
it's giving me you know I don't have a white grandma
but if I did this is what it's giving me.
Actually the day my brother was born my parents had to leave
me with the neighbor. Rest in peace she probably dead
and gone by now because she was old back then.
We played with her typewriter watched Murder She Wrote
and I bet you we had these cookies.
I'm being a little modest you know this is
this is not a mukbang channel
but it is #SmackYoLip, so let me-
(chews into the mic)
That's too much, that's too much.
Here we have Whippet.
What's the name of it here?
What is the name of it?
Y'all know what I'm talking about?
It's like a marshmallow, it's chocolate with like
graham cracker but a marshmallow
Oh my gosh
Oh my gosh, yes.
Okay, sorry.
These are two of them stacked on top of each other.
Me myself, I love Canada.
I mean it's simple, you have a cookie
biscuit type cookie
a nice fluffy marshmallow all covered in a coating of like
a chocolate shell type coating.
This is giving me if I was a character in the Polar Express
that movie, if I was that black girl in Polar Express
this is giving me a delicious treat that I would eat as
Josh Groban plays in the background
is Josh Groban Canadian?
No he's American.
That's all right, I'll forgive him.
The David brand of-
English side! Maple leaf.
The word for leaf has always - "feuille".
Oh, they're sandwich cookies!
Into it.
Smells like breakfast. Ah, these smell, these smell
hella bomb, hella hella bomb.
In the shape of a leaf, a maple leaf.
Got you my camera is just like
being really xenophobic right now.
That's nice, it's subtle, it's not too sweet, it's not
hitting you right here.
You know when you bite into a Oreo. Creamy somehow.
Want some?
My mom for sure would serve these with chai.
It's not giving me Aunt Jemima.
It's not giving me Mrs. Butterworth.
It's giving me stick a pipe, pipe?
in a tree and let the sap run.
It's giving you that dark - I've seen it in the grocery
store - that dark, that dark maple syrup that comes in the
glass bottle that you can't afford because it's seven
dollars and you're like
I'ma eat cereal.
Coffee Crisp, I've always wanted to like visit the research
and development for a candy company because who says that
this doesn't work in the US who says who says?
Their catchphrase is "makes a light snack".
(reads in French)
I don't believe, I don't believe candy is a snack.
You know how Snickers advertises itself as like
"hungry why wait grab a Snickers" and I'm like hungry.
I don't know bread.
I don't- You know what I'm saying?
I'm also not a coffee person, so let's see.
It's a lot.
This is a lot.
Not the biggest fan.
Giving me Folgers in your cup but
like office Folgers
so like you know when you walk into the office and I'm like
did you burn the coffee?
Like I'm mad I don't even drink it and I'm mad.
The coating is a little too much.
This was a thin like see it's even like flaking flaking off
it's a thin chocolate coating.
This is a thick, thick chocolate coating and I'm just
I'm not I'm not into it.
Ruffles Chips - familiar with that.
All dressed
flavor.
What does that mean?
But it looks like it's vinegar.
A red bell pepper and onion.
It's vinegar it singed my nose hairs
Hold up.
This good! This hella good.
It's giving you a nice orange.
It's not quite salt and vinegar chip, it's not quite BBQ
chip, it's somewhere betwixt the two, if you will.
If you go to Canada, get you some. Bring me back some.
Here we have Jos Louis
I would say Jos Louis.
Six gateau, six cakes.
(Reads in French)
Don't know what I'm saying.
Okay, look! Granny, got the white granny. Oh these are big.
This is giving me frickin Little Debbie Swiss, Swiss rolls
That's basically what it is.
This is rich.
You know rich in the way only artificial things
can be. Swiss rolls, the red velvet one, sometimes
they be having a pumpkin one is just like a it's a cake
it's a gateau.
This is a nice cream filling, it's giving me
preschool snack time.
It's giving me your friend David turned six
and his mom brought these you know to class
and everybody's like
"YASS! GATEAU!"
Smarties which are different than what Smarties are here,
I'm seeing.
I just started instinctively chewing wait
is this chocolate?!
I thought it was gonna be a fruit thing.
Look at this packaging.
I was wanting it to be a little Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity
because over here Smarties are little dusty
them little dusty sugar tabs.
When you were kids did you pretend to smoke them? (laughs)
Pretend to smoke the Smarties and was like blow the chalk
dust off the Smarties that's what I thought this
was gonna be.
But it's basically an M&M.
Don't get mad at me 'cause that's what it is.
I know if you're watching this from Canada and you're like
that's totally not an M&M.
I'm sorry Evelyn but that's not an M&M.
I'd be like I'm sorry it is. The chocolate does taste
different though.
And that's what it's giving me it's like I know it's
chocolate but it doesn't taste like the chocolate here
and I feel like this is false advertising
even though now that I see this the word Smarties is covered
in a brown in a brown sort of thing to insinuate chocolate
but still I'm mad. This could have been lemon, lime
blueberry - that's what I had a taste for.
And last
but not least: St. Hubert melange
a sauce poutine
gravy mix.
I might make this at home, not anytime soon.
I want to go taste the original first.
Which reminds me I should ask, Future Evelyn from the
Internets, have you had poutine yet?
Yes, I have Past Evelyn from the Internets: C'est bon!
Thanks Future Evelyn from the Internets.
I have no concept of what poutine what the flavor of it is.
This little guy looks like a chicken.
So maybe it tastes like chicken.
The ingredients lead me to believe that yeah it's supposed
to taste like meat, meat of some sort.
It's supposed to give you that umami, if you will.
So
poutine mix.
YouTube, Youtube world
here we are, we've come to the end.
We've come to the end of this amazing excursion
culinary excursion into the land
north of my home. Canada! The snack that surprised me the
most or was the most different would be
the all dressed chips from Ruffles just because
we truly don't have that here.
Everything else we kind of have a version of it.
I bet them Maple Leaf cookies? Trader Joes.
We've come to the end of this international global edition
of hashtag
Smack Yo Lip the series where I taste and or prepare
beverages and or foodstuffs and share my thoughts on them.
A little note about packages.
My PO box is not public because I don't need
I don't want snacks from everywhere.
You know what I'm saying?
So if you find your way to me, I pick and choose.
I'm one girl, one stomach.
Do you feel me?
I feel people out, you know what I mean, safety first.
Thank you so much to all the cousins who sent me packages
in the past shout out to Madame la Prof for this one.
- (speaks French)
- [Evelyn] Oooh! Merci!
And who knows if you find your way
to my PO box you could make it on an episode of hashtag
Smack Yo Lip.
It's not a challenge, and it's not a requirement.
I don't have I don't have to.
Sometimes a girl just wants to enjoy snacks in private
you know, it's an intimate, an intimate moment a girl
and her food.
But every once in a while I do like to make a
Smack Yo Lip video trying out these new things.
Let me know if there was one
One snack that could represent your country
and not your city, United States, not your city
the country what would it be?
I look forward to your comments and I'll see you on the
internet somewhere, bye.
