Growing up in Detroit, we used to joke about being “Northern Canadians” as we lived north of Windsor, Canada. We also used to watch a lot of Canadian children’s television, so had to be reminded in kindergarten that it was A to Z and not A to Zed. Now, the friends we joked about have something to poke us back about. There is a whole big contest where they can win one of 3 $10,000 prizes, camcorders, and all sorts of other goodies through the contest Stouffers-panini is having. Canadian readers (in other words, those who live in Canada) are eligible, but not those in the CBC viewing area that live over the river. You can try to sneak into the contest. I tried. However, when i started pointing to a part of my hand when they asked where I lived, they knew I was just a pesky Detroiter trying to pass as a Canadian.
It is a contest to roll out its new line of paninis with an international flair. They include:
Bistro Meatballs & Peppers
Bistro Chicken Souvlaki
Lean Cuisine Grilled Vegetables & Goat Cheese
Lean Cuisine Mango Chicken Tikka
Since panini is native to Italy, and these all aren’t Italian dishes, there have been creative liberties taken. The Chicken Tikka is a panini with an Indian flair, and includes a spiced sauce, grated cheese, and mango. I think the one I would most like to try is the Grilled Veggie and Goat Cheese panini.
Oh, you want me to stop talking and start telling you about the goods? Okay, then. There are three first prize winners who will receive a trip to Greece, India, France, or Italy in the form of a $10,000 gift card to do so. Twelve second prize winners will win a Sony digital camcorder. Everyone else who does not win any of that will still have chances every day o win instant prizes of Stouffers products.
You can register here on the Stouffers website. Make sure you have a valid Canadian address. If you are living in Canada for work for some reason, have a friend hold your hand or strap it into your pocket so you are not tempted to point to a knuckle.
