(29,414 posts)I know my past-wife used to talk about having/making it in Meaford, Ontario
laundry_queen
(8,646 posts)but when I was growing up I didn't know what poutine was ...and I had been to Quebec (Montreal AND Quebec City!) when I was 11. It's only in the last 10-15 years it's spread across the country. Of course, I am in the West so we are slower to know what the East is up to Plus when I was in Quebec, my aunt was anxious to show us the BEST restaurants, so I doubt poutine was on the menu of any of the restaurants we dined at, LOL.

(29,414 posts)I think her family moved to Ontario around 1970, from Newfoundland. Her father may have been exposed to it earlier, being a merchant marine.
You know, considering what the "best" restaurant serve anymore, you might just find a high-dollar version of poutine at such restaurants today

(13,920 posts)Theres Poutine everywhere in Canada. Will be here in the states soon enough as well. I can get BBQ in any major city in the US. But theres a big difference between BBQ in North Carolina vs BBQ in Seattle.
I defy you to find a good Poutine in BC. Most places in Canada seem to offer Poutine as a cover for the fact they cant seem to make a decent french fry.

(23,946 posts)You have to be carrying a potential weapon and some kind of book to qualify, and maple syrup is not a book...

(81,261 posts)I see me standing in front of an American flag, with a copy of "Shelley Berman's Cleans and Dirties" and in my weapon hand, a cream pie.
Or there's always the sexy version - the book, I suppose, would be "50 Shades of Gray" (I never read it, though) and in the weapon hand, how 'bout one of those wand vibrators (or a nice long rubber dildo?)!

(81,261 posts)Standing in front of a flag with the sketch of the hand holding the marionette control cross-bar on it, or the flag of Sicily.
A giant salami in the weapon hand and a Jerry's Famous Deli menu in the book hand. The flag? Maybe a Kosher banner?
A Klingon batliff in the weapon hand, "The Book of Kahless" in the book hand, and the flag is the Klingon Empire banner?
OR...
The flag is Starfleet Command's, the weapon is the phaser, and the book is "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" or Picard's "Globe Illustrated Shakespeare"?
The flag is Gryffindor's. The weapon is the wand. The book is "The Monster Book of Monsters."
And onward...

British flag. Sherlock Holmes. Cane. Collected Works of William Shakespeare.
Steed from "The Avengers" would be a good substitute for Holmes, as he also uses a cane as a weapon.

British flag. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Wand.

(29,414 posts)Although, technically, the item that's not a book has to be a weapon, or used as one somehow. When I saw the Canadian one above, I wondered if the hammer was what the Canadian's wand would look like

It's a spatula for outdoor grilling. Notice the hole in the metal near the handle? That's a bottle opener.

Squinch
(50,949 posts)I like to watch Danish TV dramas. They are fabulous, and eventually they all seem to get Americanized and the American versions never hold a candle to the originals (i.e, The Killing, The Bridge)
But anyway, to see what other countries think about us is very eye opening. And saddening, especially when you have to agree with what they are saying.
By the way, WELCOME! Nice to see you here.
