Poutine!

[mishak]

My favorite French Canadians Marianne and Louis brought me poutine from Montreal! Two cans of Sauce de Poutine and two bags of cheese curds! For you ignorant and deprived readers, poutine is the Official Snack Food of Canadia: take a bowl of fresh, hot French fries, lay on a heaping scoop of cheese curds and drench the whole thing in delicious brown gravy. It's wonderful, like a hearty warm hug from a polar bear. I asked Louis if they make different kinds of poutine and he said "Well, you know, sometimes dey put chicken on it, or bacon…" BACON!!! Mon Dieu! Le Bacon Poutine! I've died and gone to heaven. If I die and go to heaven and they don't have poutine I'm saying "Screw you guys I'm outta here!"

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm poutine.
Now all you need is some sangria and it would be like sitting at the bar at Mad Hatter's.

I need to go to Montreal again.

Up in Lewiston, ME there used to be a place that made cheese curds and served poutine. Alas, last time we checked it is gone. :(

Although surely somewhere in Lewiston these things are still available, but the cheese is probably not locally made.

I sent J. the text of your panegyric of poutine; she, unafraid to slight her French-Canadian ancestry by referring to poutine as a "nasty gut-bomb," says:

"Tourtiere, now THAT'S a food worth converting the masses to. [And] it's almost tourtiere season..."

I prefer poutine by far... mostly after going out, hehehe! I think the most disturbing Quebecquer meal though is "ragoût de pattes de cochons"... now, that's something I won't eat! Pig paws in gravy, heeekkk... gimme more poutine! :-p

I would certainly pick poutine over that.

Possibly even "Italian-style" poutine.

Oh yeah, I love Italian poutine too! :-D

Hehehe, I'm glad you liked our present! :-D We also have Italian poutine (with spaguetti sauce on, which is my second favorite), smoked meat poutine, etc... Let me know next time you're going to Montreal, I tell you where to find the best poutine! ;-)
