[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="Zeke"]Non-Canadians [iost_uid0]don't have butter tarts[/iost_uid0]? Â I'm never leaving this country again.[/quoteost_uid0]
I was similarly surprised when I learned that.

Mmmm, butter tarts....

Butter tarts, for the uninitiated, are a small pastry, like a mini-pie that fits easily in your palm. They have a sugary sweet "custard" filling, made of raisins, walnuts, brown sugar, corn syrup, softened butter and eggs.

Needless to say, they have, like, a million calories each. But they're [iost_uid0]so good[/iost_uid0].

Plate of tarts:

Mmm, tarts. Canada's gift to the world that nobody but us knows about. [/colorost_uid0]
