Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada What's more Canadian than Tim Hortons new dark roast?

I dunno! But hey, what can be more Canadian than Timmys? I also don't know how we made it darker and richer, but apparently, we did!

The new dark roast is a unique blend that features premium Arabica beans from the Indonesian island of Sumatra, in addition to the beans from Guatemala, Colombia and Brazil used in the chain's original coffee.

Tim Hortons launches new dark roast

Tim Hortons has made a global impression on coffee drinkers. In Yamunanagar, India, they have Tim Hottens. They even use the Timmy's slogan, "Always Fresh". I hope these people don't come for our moose!



In South Korea, many people enjoy Tim Mortons coffee, available at their local supermarket.

I have never understood the love of Tim hortons. The food sucks, the coffee is even worse.

Their food and coffee is fine. It just doesn't appeal to you. Since the company is successful, enough people must like what they make or it would have gone out of business long ago. It's no different than me not liking Remington 700s or Italian food. Both do quite well without my thumbs down.

Rickard's Red? Love Timmy's. We were hunting and fishing in International Falls Minn and they had a Tim Hortons.

Don’t mind the coffee, will order a breakfast bagel or burrito but I never bother with their lunch menu.

AFA Dark Roast, this is like their 4th attempt. They’re even admitting that in a commercial.

Even McDonalds coffee is better and more consistent than Tim Hortons and it comes in a double walled insulated cup with a decent lid that is easy to drink out of.. Tim Hortons donuts honestly are terrible, better donuts at any gas station.

Well then it must be good.

That'll go well with a Maple Glazed eh?

The only thing more Canadian than that are the Habs and the TV show "The Beachcombers"

Oh, and CIL Canuck ammo.

Now you've got it!

Question for only the non-Canadians that visit this forum: What do Canadians call what we in the US call Canadian Bacon?

Bacon.

Cooper—in Canada what you’re thinking of is called Back bacon up here. It is cured but not smoked boneless pork loin

Agreed.

Highly overrated.

It was a question for non-Canadians. I know you know. Actually, when I was in a diner in a small town outside of Ottawa it was called peameal bacon (same thing as back bacon). I had just never heard it called that before then.

Didn’t mean to hijack your thread Steve—but I think pea meal back bacon is more Canadian than Timmy’s coffee.
I used to work in a butcher shop that saw a lot of American tourists and I grew up in the meat buisness south of the medicine line. The tourists would ask for Canadian bacon and the local butchers were always trying to show them regular slab bacon.
All the back bacon I ever saw came coated in corn meal but maybe Steve would know-did at one time they use dried pea meal?

All my in-laws and many friends live in BC, so I frequent Tim H's when we're out-and-about.

The coffee and food is every bit as good as any fast-food place in the USA, maybe even better!

The only food item I really miss in Canada is cookies.... they don't have any.... they only have biscuits.

There is peameal bacon, which is “seasoned” (slightly brined) and called peameal bacon, then there is back bacon, which is brined and smoked. Both are made from the loin, but back bacon is trimmed so it is only the round of the loin.

Having said that, I can find peameal bacon every day of the week here, but it’s rare to find back bacon. Occasionally at farmers markets, but that’s it.

A nice peameal recipe, for those interested, is to grill it whole on your bbq while basting it with maple syrup. Makes a nice candy crust.
