So while out on the canal I decided to try the Garlic and Cheese Beavertail. It was good. But didn't seem like a real beavertail. So I went down to the next Beavertail concession and got my favorite - cinammon and sugar. Oh man, oh man it was goooooooood.Whats everyone's favorite beavertail?And does anyone outside of Ottawa know what I'm talking about?

My wife says she loves them all!!Try it with nutella!!!!

PLEASE tell me this is some sort of confection and not an actual tail from a beaver!!!

Its real tail Mike and you gotta try some!

You got my curiosity going Sputnik. After some googling, I came up with this: http://www.beavertailsinc.com/en/media.htmlThey do look good. I'd have to wash it down with a MooZoo though.

I was thinking something like an elephant ear. Then I read the part about the real beaver... *gasp!*I was gonna say, while it sounds mighty tasty, may even taste like chicken, but I'd have to pass on one... Unless they have a soy version. LOL! But reading this on the link provided put my mind at ease.... *whew!*Quote »"The region's contribution to Canadian cuisine is the BeaverTail, a doughy delicacy that looks like a flattened zeppole and tastes a bit like a funnel cake smeared with jelly and maple syrup."New York TimesNow, a pizza beaver tail - yummy! Garlic and cheese sounds mighty tasty too!

Nothin' better than deep fried dough!

You just can't go wrong with a cinnamon and sugar beavertail! They're are just one of those things that you can't miss while in the Ottawa region. Some nice weather down there this weekend, eh Sputnik? The Canal was a little mushy, but it was wonderful not having to skate in circles!!!

Yeah sunny, but a bit cool compared to earlier in the week. The canal was closed for half the week and just reopened on Friday.

tastes a bit like a funnel cake Well, I'm sold and I have always wanted to skate that canal, that seems like it be awesome.

chocolate hazelnut spread - you put it on toast and stuff. You don't have it in the States? Personally I hate it on toast.

Nope, we don't have it down here. Sounds decent though. Of course, as far as I know (and I know my pastries) we don't have beaver tails either.

First cut the tail and blistered over a fire until the skin loosens. After the skin is removed, the tai flesh is boiled in a large pot of beans.You could also boil the carcass for some yummy soup.

Ooo the poor beaver - the national rodent!

Quote, originally posted by ArcsVibe »Millster I can always send you some Heh! No, that's quite alright. I like it but I'm not that crazy about it.

Its definitely in the States (www.nutellausa.com)

LOL, I am so pumped to see someone else knows about these. My dad owns a construction company, and he just built a beaver tails franchise for a family friend. It is in Tobermory Ont. I haven't had one yet, but other people seem to think they are pretty good.

Quote, originally posted by Sputnik »Its definitely in the States (www.nutellausa.com)my friend just had a crepe with nutella in the middle. it was quite tasty! used to buy that stuff when i was little and my dad was stationed in England. also, in HS, my German exchange student loved that stuff. so we always had a bunch. plus, it was the only way my mom could get me to eat breakfast. lol

Quote, originally posted by ArcsVibe »Trust me bro they are Oh yeah, rub it in. Does anyone know where I can get a BeaverTail?

Ottawa - the home of the beavertail.

The only beavertail we get around here (Indiana) is the road kill variety... actually though, I think it's mostly raccoon and opossum.

That's a 4-5 hour drive for me. I'm going to look online and see if I can order them. I'm on a mission.

HAHA The next best thing to ordering them.http://www.parenthoodweb.com/r...20455

Oh man now I want one. They have a shop in the mall... I should go for a visit. The cinammon and sugar is my favorite. Tried the garlic and cheese on the canal this past winter. It was okay but I prefer the sweet to the savory.

hmmm... another thing besides a Tim Hortons I miss

what? you told me you DIDN'T like Nutella. lol.

Now I'm hungry too.I think we need to arrange a Group Buy for those of us South of the border.

mmmm. funnel cakes and elephant ears! the state fair is coming next week. whoo hoo!

Is "Beaver Tail" the only name these things go by? They do look really good! Never seen anything like it until now. I wish they had stuff like that down here in CA instead of the usual donuts and other delectible confections.I wonder if they can be shipped? Do those things spoil easily?Now Nutella I am familiar with! Goes really good with peanut butter on an Eggo or toast. Ahhh now I'm getting hungry...

I know they have them in the States - Epcot Centre in Florida serves Beavertails. From their website: http://www.beavertailsinc.com/en/stores.html

well if it was going to be defensive then no... cause that statement was a in humor.

no, it just would not be appropriate for the boards.
