Poutine
What is it?
"What is poutine?"
She said, "Oh, I love it when people ask this. First, what do you think it is?"
So I looked at the picture and then another one over in the lobby. Hmmm, fries and maple syrup?
"No, but good guess. It's gravy and cheese on top of the fries. And it is the best. We'll start serving that at lunch if you want to try it!"
We were too early for lunch and didn't make it back to Mickey Ds later in the day. Oh well, sounds good. I'll have to try that the next time we go to Canada!
What is it?
I know, real cliff hanger. Everyone is dying to know what it is. My story with poutine began last Friday. We got up and needed breakfast. As usual. The place where we were staying didn't provide breakfast, so we had to find our own food. We found an IHOP in town and so motored on over. Only problem is that it was just barely opened in town; hence, it was the most popular place in town. At 10am. So we went to the McDonalds that was basically deserted and actually has something the kids like for breakfast. Eliza was a bit disappointed when she looked at the menu.
"Mommy," she whispered, trying not to be rude, "what are we going to eat? They don't have any pancakes."
I explained to her that flap jacks were the same thing as pancakes. She was satisfied with that response. Then, I spotted the poutine & small drink combo and just had to ask the cashier.
