I can't stand hot chocolate with water. My hot chocolate has to be with milk or it tastes nasty. The velvetiser is cool. We have something like that here in the U.S, but I forgot what it's called. LOL.

[@EmerRaph]

The Titanic actually went down closer to Newfoundland, however, most of the bodies were brought to Nova Scotia. They were buried in three cemeteries in Halifax.

[@hdufort]

The Empress of Ireland sank near Rimouski. This was our biggest sea tragedy before the Titanic.

[@terryomalley1974]

Hi guys. The region Tracey is from, Gaspé, Quebec, is pronounced as "Gas-pay". The Aero 's named after the city of Nanaimo, BC, is pronounced Na-nai(rhymes with my)-mo. There's a treat named after the town that where they were invented. They have a graham cracker base covered in milk chocolate, topped with vanilla custard (like a Bostin cream pie filling), and then another graham cracker covered in milk chocolate. Once baked, then put it in the freezer. Take out of the freezer half an hour to thaw a bit before eating it. They're absolutely scrumptious with a bug glass of ice cold milk!

[@kates7277]

The crust also has cocoa and coconut. Crust, custard filling, chocolate topping. Crust and filling have to be the same thickness!

[@terryomalley1974]

​@@kates7277Right. Forgot the coconut.

[@BobSmith-fu1nn]

A Nanaimo Bar is a no bake Canadian snack (usually homemade). It has a base of cocoa powder, coconut shreds, graham (digestive) crumbs and melted butter; a middle layer of custard cream made with Birds custard power and a top layer of chocolate,

[@kates7277]

And the crust and filling have to be the same thickness!

[@JJ-et7il]

It's actually pronounced Gas-Pay, or Gas-Pay-Zee. Apparently it's a beautiful place.

[@TheFruitarianQueen]

Exactly! 😊

[@jillipepper5353]

Gaspe sounds like Gas pay, as an English person though. I open the bottom of chip bags , the most flavour is there , yummy. My family only got Gherkins at Christmas, not sure why but once I was an adult I keep them in all the time, same with Clementines. lol

[@ValerieC83]

Gaspé. It's pronounced "gas-pay". I'm from a city called Saguenay (pronounced Sag-nay), in Québec. Also, staple Canadian chip flavors are all dressed and ketchup! Sad you don't have those!

[@KaliforniaLA]

My grandmother was French Canadian. Which is just French living in Canada.

[@JJ-et7il]

One more thing. If you like Aero definitely try to find the orange Aero. It's like Terry's chocolate orange mixed with Aero.

[@bonzolvr]

“Recent run in with a spicy sausage” … so many interesting pictures in my head from that sentence 😂😂😂

[@lucforand8527]

Gaspé, is pronounced like Gas-pay. It is both a town and the name of the peninsula.

[@matthewwilson9749]

I love that you pronounced Gaspé. It was cute

[@davemcbroom695]

All in all, I think Nestle is better chocolate than Hershey's.

[@melistudio3653]

Alex downing that hot chocolate is absolutely hilarious. 😂😂😂. Great editing!

[@cassidybradley5197]

Thanks for sending these treats along, Tracy! Great video, as always! 💕😋🍫

[@D3THStudios]

The best of those special Aero bars is the chocolate mousse. To die for...

[@GISJIng]

It's pronounced 'Gas-pey'. I live in Nova Scotia, and did a road trip with a friend back in 2019 I think of Gaspe area. Such a beautiful area, we had a great time.

[@lbednaz]

My Father was raised in Presque Isle Maine, way north almost Canada. His Father had crossed illegally and lived his entire life in Presque Isle. We went once when I was young, we lived in Boston Massachusetts. Everyone spoke French and seriously everyone grew potatoes in their yards. My Father liked to eat them raw as he did as a kid.

[@beccasmama63]

Although you can buy small jars of gherkins we usually have larger pickles mostly dill on the side of meals like you said with chips/crisps.

[@lucforand8527]

The Gaspé area; an in fact, both the north and south shores of the Bay of Chaleur were settled by Canadians (i.e. Quebecers), Acadians, Scots, Irish and English (including the islands of Jersey and Guernsey). Unfortunately much of the original English speaking population of the northern shore (Gaspé shore) have left; many going to the US, Montreal, Ontario or even British Columbia.

[@Jace76]

As a Canadian hearing you both pronounce Gaspe as Gasp is hilarious.

[@ThisWithThem]

hehe sorry for butchering it 😂

[@helenrobinson8894]

Haha brilliant video. Alex scarfing down the hot choc made me laugh so much 😂😂😂

[@capitainejosephblackjobart2577]

In fact i live in gaspé too and you need to know that gaspé is 60/40 french/english and she live in the à part of english population at gaspe cause douglastown (douglas for us) is found by irish People and lot still speack english like other part of the town like york haldimen sandy beach and wakham

[@abee1248]

Not Nova Scotia, but Newfoundland, province east of Nova Scotia. Titanic sank in North Atlantic 350 miles from Newfoundland and it is also my home province.

[@roderickmacsween2820]

Greetings from Nova Scotia.

[@x.jessica.lynn.88]

A lot of people in Canada, love pickles

[@its_haturday]

If you DO come to Nova Scotia, Make sure you hit Pictou County for some pizza. We are 'famous' for our brown sauce pizza. it's spicy, and savory and very very good. All of it stems from one greek family that immigrated in the 70s!

[@daniellehari5974]

there is also a dessert called a Nanaimo bar likely what the chocolate bar is trying to simulate.

[@daniellehari5974]

Tim Horton's makes their hot chocolate with water....I agree with Kate milk is the way to go.

[@estherhall3307]

@thiswiththem Kate- I know you get hiccups really badly sometimes. Take a sip of your water but don't swallow it immediately, swallow it slowly. A coworker of mine said to try it and it's helped me get rid of hiccups fairly quickly ever since.

[@Andy28548]

In uk cadbury had there iwn version instead of aero (not wispa) think was called bubbles?? Loved it

[@x.jessica.lynn.88]

If you come back to Canada, you can try the Nanaimo bars at probably a bakery or a restaurant that sells them. I wouldn’t recommend the ones in the store like Walmart or any of the grocery stores since it’s not homemade

[@emsparamedic5183]

Those crisps and chocolates look so good, but I'd love to try that Carnation Hot Chocolate variety and will have to look for it. Thanks for sharing the review Kate and Alex.

[@tracymorin5344]

Sorry I should have given you the pronunciation of the town's... Gaspé (gas'pay)

[@Mikaylagirl2000]

A Nanaimo is a desert bar we have here in Canada Ontario

[@beccasmama63]

Alex did you really tell Kate to close her mouth?? LOL

[@rheaumeditation]

Québec is a french speaking province. I am a proud french speaker and I do speak english. Our culture is different. Like Wales, Scotland a d Ireland compare to the rest of tbe UK.

[@savacaro1]

The city must be pronounced Gaspay and I believe you put too much milk in the hot chocolate. And you're right, Aftereigh is the best mint hot chocolate ever 🤤

[@officiallytrav]

Oooh I’ll have to get a velvetiser! That looked amazing and I LOVED chantico, which was a Starbucks drink that was pure chocolate.

[@jerrywillier1]

I live in Alberta..I've never eaten that brand....I've eaten Aero...but the chocolate or peppermint flavors....

[@meganmcdevitt1483]

It’s pronounced Gas-pay 😊

[@lbearjowett5983]

come to saint john new brunswick i will show you around

[@iain3411]

There are Gerkins (pickles) in the US and Canada. You need to visit Vancouver BC and go up to Whistler , a very awesome drive up there.

[@d_mosimann]

I count the days for 2 things: First for my Thailand vacation in november and second for another WTF-season. :D

[@mrlmontreal]

“Crew-stillies” 😝

[@xnonsuchx]

I like Aero bars, but I wish Nestlé would bring back the old (late 70s/early 80s) Choco’Lite bar, which was also aerated, but a firmer, crispier texture. Not soft like Aero is. It was one of my favorites as a kid.

[@usernamepassword6909]

Yay, Canada!

[@dawnvigil7386]

Mmmm chocolate with strawberry 🍓🍫 sounds delicious

[@PeytonBourree]

Come to Vancouver bc! There's lots of good food, treats and snacks!

[@lucforand8527]

In my opinion the three original chips in Canada are Regular, Salt & Vinegar and BBQ.

[@VickieMarie39]

🇨🇦 You should 🇨🇦come 🇨🇦to 🇨🇦Vancouver🇨🇦 BC 🇨🇦Canada 🇨🇦and you would love it here🇨🇦I love all the chips 😋Bacon one no🇨🇦The chocolate Aero 🍫 I love original ones😋The chocolate good😋

[@hartplanet356]

Gaspé is pronounced Gaspay :)

[@rebeccabourque7704]

I live in Nova Scotia, in Yarmouth at the very bottom tip.

[@lbednaz]

American here but it's my understanding that Canada has 2 National Languages - French and English. All government publications and staff have to be bilingual.

[@kates7277]

Yes we have two official languages so all federal services are offered in English and French…all food packaging has to be bilingual as well. But New Brunswick is our only officially bilingual province (Quebec’s official language is French).

[@marykoufalis7666]

As a Montrealer, allow me to just make a small correction. Not all provinces are bilingual. For example here in Montreal yes we are bilingual and actually all government documents are only in French and provided in English upon request. However places like Brutush Columbia and Ontario are english speaking provinces.

[@cynthiabolanis255]

Gaspe is pronounced “gas p a”. It’s a a French word. The a is a long sound

[@lucforand8527]

The language used at work mostly depends on the nature of your job. Some jobs only require English; some only require French and some require both. However, it is true that for the most part the de facto language at work in the province of Quebec is French.

[@coriurda1026]

The OFFICIAL language of Québec is ONLY French. The official languages of Canada is English and French. The only province who has both languages as officials is New Brunswick.

[@lucforand8527]

@@coriurda1026 So what! If you are an anglophone, you will receive service in English. If you are tried in court, you are tried in English. If you go to the hospital you can receive service in English. If you file your taxes, you may do it in either English or French. If you are a member of parliament and want to speak in English, no one will stop you. You can speak in Chinese if you want to. The only thing that Official means is that the government works in French; however, that doesn't mean services are not rendered in the languages used by the English, Inuit, Cree, Innu, Micmac and other communities. Those communities also have rights to their language and culture!!

[@tracymorin5344]

Yum yum is a brand only found in Quebec

[@myklegue3968]

it's pronounced Gas-pey(pay) fyi

[@AlexSilver-n6p]

You should have come to Vancouver BC ❤

[@kates7277]

BC represent!

[@ThisWithThem]

I know!! I hope we can one day! 😍❤️

[@lucforand8527]

I would translate 'simulé' as artificial.

[@danielleduplantis9449]

Québec is pronounced kay beck

[@beccasmama63]

FYI your pronunciations of both Gaspe and Quebec are incorrect Kate. LOL But I am not offended. LOL

[@ThisWithThem]

haha oops!! We even looked for the pronunciation on google but it's obviously failed us haha 😂

[@danielleduplantis9449]

Gaspé is prononouced gas- pay

[@kates7277]

💯

[@ThisWithThem]

Hopefully one day if we get to visit Canada again we can try one!! 😍

[@GuessImNotClever]

"Nah-Nai-moe".... Haven't had one in yeaaars.

[@ThisWithThem]

Didn't realise they were dessert bars! Looks so delicious

[@GuessImNotClever]

@@ThisWithThem they're aight.

[@cslassiniboine7037]

You have to be bilingual if you work with the public.

[@kates7277]

Only at the federal level

[@marykoufalis7666]

​@kates7277 Also in the provincial level in provinces that are predominantly french like Montreal.

How cool!

I LOVE ketchup chips!!! We did try a pack but not in the part of Tracys box!

[@newfee1967]

I just checked on line yum yum potato crisp and the sweet cheddar comes in a ripple crisp as well.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@ThisWithThem]

OH MY WORD!!! YUM 😍 I love a ripple

[@mitzitaunton2871]

Its pronounced Gaspie…not Gasp….

[@ThisWithThem]

Thank you

[@poisonmonkeyposse795]

None of these products are actually regularly consumed by Canadians. We do love an Areo bar but you are eating fancy specialty bars the company makes but no one eats. Same with the hot chocolate those are specialty flavours put out once a year no one drinks them regularly. Those chips aren’t Canadian they are specific to Quebec. I’m from Saskatchewan and we don’t eat that brand in fact this is the first time I’ve seen them. Do better these aren’t Canadian treats you know not of what you speak. Clarify you are eating a regional treat. I REPEAT YOU ARE NOT EATING TRULY CANADIAN COAST TO COAST WELL KNOWN TREATS. NO ONE OUT OF THE EAST COAST EAT THESE SNACKS! First time viewer who won’t return thumbs down 👎🏼

[@heatherzwicker8031]

Not like you are going to an airport, no need to announce your departure.

[@kallen868]
