Canada has the most consumers of macaroni cheese per 100,000 people, though why this should be the case is a mystery.

Is there something special or particular to/in the county that would attract so many of these establishments?

scratch

People really like their pizza there.... and besides most of the immigrants in Pictou County being greek, I can't really say.....

It's just been something that had a great market there and built up over time.... There are two pizza places in New Glasgow that have been the best pizza I have ever eaten anywhere else, Sam's Pizza and Acropole Pizza.... I have never had pizzas like theirs anywhere else yet.

And there is a certain "style" to how they make the pizzas there compared to other places, such as in the Halifax area, or even the south shore.... it's just so damn good.

I know of a few people who are now working out west and they get their family to air mail their pizza all the way out to alberta.... which sounds kinda dumb to me, as it'd certainly be cold and perhaps a tad stale when it arrived..... but then again, I've heated up their pizza after being in the fridge for a week and it's still better then most of the fresh, canned stuff here in the city.

I think the main reason why there's a big market there, is because there's a high level of quality to be met.... and if you can meet or better that level of quality, everybody wants your pizza..... and for some reason, no matter how many more shops open up in Pictou County, the market doesn't seem to falter for most. Then again, it is like the 2nd or 3rd most populated area in Nova Scotia, so there is a large market to feed.

I know a bit about the background on most of the pizza places there due to my sister working in a few on and off for about 10 years.

Thank you Prax,

Quite the story. You just never know. Air mailing. Some kind of pizza.

I thank you again.

Hold your britches on! Have you had your vision checked lately? It is a well known fact that all the modeling agencies from New York and Paris come to Dallas or Houston to look for beautiful tall models.

I'm telling you right now. America has, by far, the ugliest people in the world. Sure, there's some hotties out there, but the USA has the most (per capita) big old fat bitche s, with no teeth, and too much makeup.

When I say big, I mean BIG. Huge rolls of fat. You can practically smell the crotch-rot. Don't deny it. One doesn't even have to visit ur country. We see it all on american TV.

Pictou Country, Nova Scotia has the largest amount of Pizza Restaurants per capita in North America.... (It was on Jeopardy... I actually seen it, not based on some web rumor.)

And the best pizza I've ever had. The actor that plays Bubbles on Trailer park Boys bought the recipe from Sam's pizza, and now serves the pizza in his restaurant in Halifax. I want to analyze it in the food chemistry lab to figure out what's in it :D

No - you're quite wrong as wrong can be. One of the Japanese rulers (I can't remember foreign names) came on TV about 10 years ago and admitted that the Japanese are the ugliest people on the planet. I don't even know anyone who is Japanese, so it's not ME making this up.

First of all, Unclepercy, I must say, your avatar looks extra beautiful today. Second, I would like to state that IMO, you are mistaken. The Japanese people are very attractive.

Canada has the most referendums, sadly.

Scratch, are you for real? How many referendums have Canada had? I can think of only one, the one on Charlottetown Accord. Same sex marriage opponents wanted a referendum, but it was quite properly shot down, even Harper was against it.

It is the Americans who have too many referendums, in my opinion. In many states the established method of amending the constitution is by a referendum. They had probably 50 or a 100 referendums in the election just concluded (several on same sex marriage, several on abortion, English as the official language, stem cell research etc.).

Canada has the most __________

Anyway, here is a truism; I don’t think anybody can dispute this.

Canada has the most efficient, most well managed, most financially sound banks in the world (result of a study recently conducted by IMF, American banks ranked no. 40, British banks, no. 44).
