May God have mercy on my colon.


And [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] anidada... marred only slightly by the long string of cheese dribble dangling from [livejournal.com profile] nottheterritory's maw.


[livejournal.com profile] anidada ate this.


And now [livejournal.com profile] 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!

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.)

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!

Amen! Though I don't like salt&vinegar or gravy (or mayo) on french fries, just ketchup. And I don't put the ketchup ON the fries, it's strictly for dipping. Otherwise the fries get soggy...which seems to be the whole POINT of poutine. Ewwww.

I like salt and vinnegar when I'm having fish and chips, otherwise I usually either have just salt, or ketchup. Gravy is good on occasion too.

Those fancy things they put on fries at the Taco Bell are kind of good, but also kind of neccesary to hide the fact they have the worst fries of all.

Gravy is good to get your fries moist with. Gravy and potatos just go hand in hand with flavor.

I don't see the gravy working with vinegar or ketchup, ketchup, salt and vinegar works on the right kind of fry (which is thick cut, but not super tasty).
