I'm not the world's best footy tactician, but I did graduate with straight A's (both in practical and theory) from Baking school. No, cookies are not pastries. Cookies lack, what we call in the industry, squishy-fluffiness. (plus they're not made with pastry flour, etc.) As for putting raisins in cookies, it's extremely difficult, even for the most experienced bakers, to make oatmeal raisin cookies without raisins.

SuperCanuck Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) The development of Canadians by the CPL is bound to put us over the top in CONCACAF, with the best bakeries, finally surpassing St. Kitts.

If you're referring to Phillips Bakery that's in St. Vincent.. right next to the library IIRC.

You know when Wesley Charles, who is a St Vincent and Granadine national, played for Whitecaps in 2009-09, someone at the Southside came up with a Phillips Bakery chant. All I can remember, and I was only there that summer for maybe 2-3 games, was it ended "Phillips BAK-ery!!". Wish someone here could remind us how it went.

I stand corrected, thank you. However, if you're going to name a small island country in the Caribbean St Vincent and the Grenadines, and there's already a small island country in the Caribbean called St. Kitts and Nevis, you deserve a little confusion, no matter how good your national bakery is, and how close it is to the library.

CONCACAF has 4 of them. So we are number 1 at something I guess. SuperCanuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtlMario Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Watching a documentary on BBC Earth called " Canada:Over The Edge" and Goderich has the title of "Canada's prettiest town". Now you know. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Skeptical on that having been there a few times for soccer, but I guess the positive thing you could say is that there's probably a lot less danger of being told to squeal like a pig than there is in Embro, Glencoe, Dutton or West Lorne, which are this is my brother Darryl and my other brother Darryl sort of places in Southwestern Ontario.

Ed_S Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Got a laugh out of this thread. Played hockey all throughout this area back in the 60s when I was a young fellow on the peewee all star team out of RCAF station Centralia (now Huron Park). BTW, setting for Ann-Marie MacDonald's Steven Truscott inspired 'The Way The Crow Flies'. Edited April 27, 2020 by Ed_S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 As small townies say, "Goderich is good people, man." I've got a brother-in-law from there. Salt of the Earth type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Queen passed through town in the 50's she remarked that, "Goderich must be the prettiest town in all of Canada," and it just sort of stuck as a marketing gimmick.

The tornado knocked down or severely damaged several buildings downtown and ripped but one of the trees in the courthouse square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
