“Two words: Chicken fingers. I've hosted Canadian Idol for five years which means I've criss-crossed this country five times. And at every whistle-stop, I have sampled the local chicken finger fare. The best chicken fingers in the country – taking into account presentation, breading, dipping sauce and sauce-to-finger ratio – can be found at the Fairmont Hotel in Vancouver."
- Ben Mulroney, eTalk host
"My mother was a modern woman and to her that meant never stepping into a kitchen. I’m amazed I didn’t die of tin poisoning. So, as an eight year old, I would sneak to my best friend’s home where her father, F.T., cooked the most amazing food all the time. My favourite thing F.T. made, and which I make for my children, was a three-cheese – mozzarella, brick and cheddar – rigatoni with a homemade tomato sauce that you could smell throughout the neighbourhood. To this day it brings me comfort and 30 years later I am still sharing it with my best friend.” - Kate Davis – stand-up comedian and author of “Breast Feeding Diaries”
“Oreos are, seriously, perfect, but only WITH trans fats! The new Oreos are stupidly without trans fats and they don't slip off the wafer the same way when you twist them. The cookie's mild bitterness balances out the sweetness of the filling. They're a great comfort snack - remind you of childhood - and Oreos are what I like to call an Action Snack, you don't just pop it in your mouth, you eat it with a "process". Everyone has their own Oreo process! Mine consists of opening up the wafer, scraping the filling away edge by edge until an octagonal shape remains in the middle and then attempting to lick away the centre in one full slurp!”- Elaine "Lainey" Lui, eTalk Reporter and gossip blogger, www.laineygossip.com
