Nope, nothing at all...

Wait, this isn't standard Canadian decor?

To me, English as spoken in England sounds like the speaker is using a special accent for the benefit of the tourists.

Um, perhaps.

Another theory is that is their natural accent, and you just feel inferior because they invented the language in the first place.

You use a toboggan to go water skiing:

Pouding Chômeur, yay!
I worked in a bakery for a summer job. Once a week, we made a batch dozens of individual portions of pouding chômeur in little tray. That was always a great day!

Also, I've never came across bad pouding chômeur. During a stay at the hospital, all the food was stale and flavorless - except the pouding of course. I think the whole magic of the recipe reside in the fact that you can achieve it in any circumstances, hence the name ''Poorman's Puding'' (or the ''unemployed's pudding'' literally).
