I've never heard of them before...
But they sound yummy.
Mmm.
Wanna send some over???
I wonder if you can...
Are they perishable???
Are they sealed in plastic???

I thought you were coming over. <pout>
These tarts can't be left long, as the sugar crystallizes and toughens up. They're perishable.
I had to have two for breakfast.
Now there's only one left.
Any bets on how long it lasts?

> Are they sealed in plastic???Oh I could send them, I suppose. But would they make it? Not a chance. I doubt I could even hand deliver them to you. Delicate little things. Subject to tipping, leaks, the pastry failing.
I guess you'll have to make do with a vicarious yum thing.
Maybe being a Canuck is a wonderful thing all in itself. I honestly didn't know they were of Canadian origin. They're everywhere, and I just figured they were everywhere everywhere, ya know?
Like flavoured potato chips (crisps). That is a Canadian thing, going back to the 60s. I know that's worldwide now, but we started it.
I can't stop thinking about that last butter tart, being all lonely and everything, in its little clear tray. Poor thing.

What is on the top of the tart?
It looks like pepperoni on my machine.

Sort of a light crust. But so delicate a crust, that the slightest touch breaks it.
The filling is sugar, butter, and beaten egg.
The surface is almost like a meringue.

Not only butter tarts. But also sugar pie. And another pie called tartiere (but that's meat).
Yes, there is Canadian cuisine.
I was just reading about a Canadian restaurant that opened in Los Angeles, called the Canadian Cafe. Canadian rotisserie chicken (Swiss Chalet sauce included), real poutine (imported curds and sauce), real back bacon, Canada Dry ginger ale, Coffee Crisp chocolate bars at the cash, the whole deal. They've already had inquiries about franchising.
Canadians really do have a distinct culture. We probably over-produce musicians and comedians, given our population. Scientists, too. I dunno. It's just our way.
