Hello, I think your web site site is cool!!!! If you want more
information about Mr.goudas, please contact me!!!! I am a sales
representatives for Goudas foods. You are right that he is the
coolest man alive, take it from a guy that deals with him on a daily
basis. I am sure that he will be impressed when I go to the office on
Monday and show him your web site.

Terry

I'm sure you would. I would too.
I hope it's clear on the website that we are just a fan club. We have
nothing at all to do with Mr. Goudas or Goudas Food Products Limited.
we simply like Mr. Goudas products, and decided to put up a web site
in his honour. We are not recognised nor endorsed by
Mr. Goudas.. we're "unofficial."
Did the package of flour have obvious defects (did the mouse perhaps
find its way in after leaving the plant)?
You should definitely take the flour back to the store where you
bought it. Get the manager to inspect the other packages of flour (in
case there are mice living in the flour display at the store). If the
mouse was already in the package when it arrived at the store, I'm
sure the manager will have a talk with his Mr. Goudas sales rep.
If none of that works, get in touch with the Mr. Goudas company
yourself.
Either way, let me know what happens.
Good luck, and keep in touch.
Jonathan Fuerth
(Remember! I don't work for, nor do I speak for, Mr. Goudas.)

hello friends
Although it was a total accident, I was delighted to find your
Mr. Goudas Fan page. I too love Mr. Goudas friendly messages and
tasty beans -- in fact my roomates and I had a shrine to Mr. Goudas in
the kitchen of our old place. We made it from Goudas labels (our
favourite was "Main Ingredient Tender Love" on a can of bean salad (i
think)) and unfortunately didn't take any pictures or else I would
surely send you one for you site.
Thanks for a happy moment in the day and good luck with the page.

Hi A Kilpatrick,
We too love Mr. Goudas products, but imagine our distress today to
open for the first time a can of black beans - 16 os - and find only
one cup of beans. ONE CUP OF BEANS !!! This is not good A Kilpatrick
and we are not happy. Have you found yourselves wondering at the same
amounts of beans in any other Mr Goudas product? What do you think I
should do? Yours truly, Darienne McAuley

I don't see any biographical info on Mr. Goudas on your site. I found this
info somewhere on the web (which doesn't mean it's correct but it is
interesting if you're a Mr. Goudas fan like me!).
"Mr. (Peter) Goudas himself is of Greek origins and his wife is a Bajan.
I have no idea what a Bajan is...nonetheless it's interesting, right?
Thank you for creating this unofficial (yet educational) Mr. Goudas website!

Hi,
The cheesiest Mr. Goudas label I've seen yet has him dressed up in a
Chinese robe...I forget exactly which product it was (maybe rice), and
didn't see it when I went to my local supermarket today.
Speaking of rice, their basmati rice ("Pride of Himalaya", UPC
0-65349-00574-1) is terrible. I bought a bag of it recently and it has not
only an unpleasant odour and taste (which doesn't improve after cooking),
but also a somewhat mushy texture.
Other Goudas products are pretty good, though...

I have been drinking "Mr. Goudas Homestyle Ginger Beer" for about 6 months
now. It comes in a 300 ml plastic bottle, and is a terrific drink. I
recently found another Mr Goudas ginger beer, named "Mr. Goudas West Indian
Style Ginger Beer"; I bought two of these, and I will let you know soon how
it tastes.
Last night I bought a 500 g jar of "Mr. Goudas Mango Jam" and I can report
that this is excellent on toast (with becel margarine).
I have two questions:
1. Is the picture on the label of "Mr. Goudas Homestyle Ginger Beer"
supposed to be Mr. Goudas from his younger days?
2. Is the club open for membership? (And are there initiation rites?)
Sincerely,
Peter Thompson
Oakville, Ontario
Note: we are considering opening up the club to people other than ourselves. We will let everyone know when we figure out the best way to do this.

Dear A Kilpatrick,
I too enjoy the rich tastey flavor or Mr Goudas products, however the
tacky packaging scares me sometimes. It's like something from 1973.
I have a can of Mr Goudas Yellow Split Peas and I am scared to try
them for fear of there being some lead in the product from it being
so old. Please advise as to the quality of Mr Goudas Yellow Split
Peas.
Sincerly yours,
Mr Goudas Fan.
P.S. I can tell you that the Mr. Goudas yellow hot sauce is gross, it tastes
like French's Mustard, only grosser, and also their broad beans. Uck!

Hi Mark,
I hope it is clear from the website that we are not associated with
Mr. Goudas in any way. We are fans of his products like you are. It
is unfortunate that you can't find the Broad Beans that you cherish
so much, and we wish we knew the answers to your questions. I hope
your camping trip goes well. Maybe take some garbonzo beans, or some
9-bean mix (formerly 9th symphony beans) instead.
Good luck,
Andrew

hello.. my name is kimm and i go to university of guelph..
i was delighted to see that you have a mr. goudas website.. you see,we have
taken mr. goudas to the next level in the house where i live. In an age
where consuming is considered sacred, and in a house where we can't afford
fresh food, it is only natural that mr. goudas worship should become the
religion of choice. It all started in september, when we went to the
grocery store and laid eyes upon a stack of peach cans, 100 fluid ounces,
for only $5. "I've gotta have those peaches," i said, and soonafter
introduced him to my roommates and his new home. Before long, we were
treating him as our 5th roommate.. then we realized his intellectual and
moral superiority, and couldn't treet him as equal any longer. He now sits
on a raised platform covered with a shroud, with incense and candles around
him to facilitate worship. He wears a mullet wig, and a pope hat.
In the beginning, we decided to have peach lent.. 40 days and 40 nights of
peach celibacy. In the meantime, we introduced him to all our friends, took
him out to the bars, bought him drinks and cigarettes, and so on. Everyone
loves mr. g, mostly because he is so agreeable. We snapped a whole roll of
film on him so that we would have something to remember him by.. mr. goudas
studying, taking a bath, cooking, hanging out on the couch with us, at the
bars, et cetera (hopefully they'll be on the net within the next few
months). Eventually we acquired a smaller can of peaches, who became
"Ambassador Goudas", making it easier to share the goudas spirit with those
we know and love. We somehow got through peach lent, and were supposed to
eat mr. goudas on november 20, but something strange happened.. an elephant
seal came down from the heavens and told us that mr. g should stay "sealed"
until exams are over.. But seeing as mr. goudas' greatness stems from his
being a delicious product (remember, "Mr. Goudas on the label means good
food on the table"), he must be martyred to reach his final destiny of being
consumed. So this friday (december 15th) we are having a party celebrating
the life and death of mr. goudas, culminating with the ritualistic opening
and eating of his contents. I think that everyone should take a little bit
of time on friday to thank mr. goudas for all that he has done for us, and
consider where we would be without such high quality products.
