Pyat goes on yet another freaking lunch adventure! What? It's a slack time at work, okay?

[pyat]

May God have mercy on my colon.


And anidada wanted to go to the Poutinerie, so there we went. I had the "Cottage" - poutine covered with hot dogs. (WHAT????)


This is a nice photo of anidada... marred only slightly by the long string of cheese dribble dangling from nottheterritory's maw.


anidada ate this.


And now nottheterritory is sneering at the camera! Sneering!


After, we walked to the Silver Snail...


Which mostly sells this sort of thing, these days. Sigh. Look, Kevin with frosted glasses, clear glasses, and in colour!

That first picture is vaguely terrifying, and yet I can't help but wonder...

[pyat.livejournal.com]

I eated the whole thing.

I will say, that while I am a Canadiophie (partially out of necessity), i have never understood Poutine. Jeff frequently speaks wistfully of it, and I have had it a couple times, but in my world, gravy belongs firmly on mashed or baked potatoes, not fried ones. And don't get me started on all the other "goop." I don't even eat cheese fries in US pubs. Sadly, both of your pix look to me like the inside of a garbage bin rather than a takeaway box.

But I still love you crazy Canucks. (And I'm just as crazy in different ways.)

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Well, this is the thing... to me, it also looks like the inside of a garbage can.

Yet, I still wanted to eat it. National delusion, or something. :)

What I don't understand is how my brother can put gravy, ketchup, salt and vinnegar onto french fries and think it's good. Those things don't mix! You have one at a time! Salt and vinnegar counts as one thing!

[nottheterritory.livejournal.com]

If it's any consolation, I don't think I meant to sneer - I cannot, for the life of me, imagine what I was thinking, but my poutine was quite good!

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was just catching you in the middle of forming a charming smile.

[foomf.livejournal.com]

Poutine, because, a Big Mac doesn't have enough grease in it.

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Big Macs are sooooo 1980. Pfft. 21st century eaters require something a little heftier than that, sir!

[hillarygayle.livejournal.com]

Good lord. So terrifying but I would absolutely try it.

[pyat.livejournal.com]

And you will! When you come visit! :)

[zenten.livejournal.com]

Poutine is one of those things that I never had (or even really heard of) until I moved to Ottawa. Same as Shwarma, or Pita Pit.

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Really? When did you move? They used to serve at McDonalds for a long time, and still do at Harveys.

*drool*

(also, fries, gravy, ketchup, salt AND (white) vinegar is awesome...at WCBC we would also add stuffing to that)

[pyat.livejournal.com]

NOMNOMNOM!

[lonita.livejournal.com]

I'm having fond flashbacks to Hamilton's Silver Snail, lo these many years gone, sadly.

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Ooh, yes. I'd go in on Saturdays and rifle through books I couldn't afford (usually), and watch the strange new "Japanimation" cartoons they'd show.

[ladyperegrine.livejournal.com]

I ♥ poutine.

I haven't tried it with hot dogs, but it doesn't sound half-bad to me. anidada's looks good too.

[anidada.livejournal.com]

Mine had mushrooms, fried onions, bacon and chicken (very little of the latter, though). Not bad... but not as good as standard poutine made with onion rings rather than fries. :D

[normanrafferty.livejournal.com]

Your lunch. It's ... it's so beautiful!

[pyat.livejournal.com]

It certainly moved me to tears. And again, hours after. :)

[redeem147.livejournal.com]

That looks like caramel corn with intestines and pepperoni. Yum!

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Candied Tripe! NOMOMNOM!

[taluagel.livejournal.com]

This is the FIRST I have heard of this glory in the city sir. I demand a detailed review of those present for my own heart health hindering cravings in the near future.

[pyat.livejournal.com]

It's on Adelaide, sort of a block north of Roy Thompson Hall!

[paka.livejournal.com]

Damnit. I can't do cheese these days, and that looks absolutely so utterly awful that I wish I could eat it!

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Well, I think you can get them to hold the cheese curds, though that just makes the basic dish something we call "New York Fries.'

[forkly.livejournal.com]

OGAWDIWANTONE. x______X; That looks.. so darned delicious *salivates* Where is it!?

[pyat.livejournal.com]

It is! It's on Adelaide, just north of Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto.

[theycallmebeth.livejournal.com]

Is this place on Queen Street?? I haven't heard of it. How exciting!

You're nuts for getting the hotdogs, though. NUTS! :)

[pyat.livejournal.com]

It's on Adelaide... and this was the second time I've gone in five weeks! *urp*
