Does Ontario also discriminate against otber US wine styles?

Both the provinces of Ontario and B.C. severely limit the number of
brands of California wines available in their liquor and wine
stores, undoubtedly to protect their own second rate domestic wine industries.

You do have some very respectable wineries, especially
Inniskillin, whose wines I respect, and such as Peller
and Pillitteri, all known for sweeties. Table wines,
not so much, though some Okanagan wines are okay as well
in the same way that their Okanogan counterparts are.
I'm more used to the Yakima and Columbia valley wines,
which are riper. Anyhow, second-tier wines are generally
better buys - or at least not hugely past my price range..

(Don't let your people in power know that; they're already mad about
our supply side managed dairy industry!)

It's unclear what our people in power know, and it's
not a fit subject for discussion here.

Title: Artichoke Napoleon

Why are things stacked up always called
napoleons?

Other gripes I have with the recipe are that
there's no reason to add "white truffle oil";
also that there's no such thing as a duxelle
(it's a duxelles). The servings will be
excessive - 3 large artichokes per person,
even heavily trimmed, make a lot of food.

I see - they have incentive to sell twice
too many vegetables.

Title: Napoleon's Hat Cookie Mix (From Scandinavia)
Categories: Cookies, Swedish
Yield: 36 servings

2 c All-purpose flour 1 ts Vanilla
1/4 ts Salt 2 Egg whites
3/4 c Butter or margarine 1/4 ts Cream of tartar
1/2 c Sugar 1/3 c Powdered sugar; sifted
2 Egg yolks 1 c Almonds; ground

Stir together flour and salt. In a large mixer bowl, beat butter or
margarine with electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar
and
beat until fluffy. Add egg yolks and vanilla; beat well. Add dry
ingredients to beaten mixture and beat until well combined. Cover and
chill
1 hour. For almond paste filling: In a small mixer bowl, beat egg whites
and cream of tartar until soft peaks form(tips curl). Gradually add
powdered sugar, beating until stiff peaks form(tips stand straight). Fold
in ground almonds. Set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll the
dough
to 1/8" thickness. Cut into 3" circles. Place about 1 rounded teaspoon of
the almond filling in center of each. Fold up and pinch 3 sides to form a
3
cornered hat, leaving the top of filling exposed. Place 2" apart on an
ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove; cool on wire rack. Source unknown
