RushCanuck Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) When I first glanced at this thread I thought it would be about the President of Russia............. :codger: There is a show in Canada (This hour has 22 minutes I believe).. Back during the 2000 US election, one of the comedians on the show pretended he was a reporter and approached one of the presidential candidates and said something like 'From Canada, Prime Minister Poutine sends his best wishes'. The candidate didn't realize he was punked and accepted the comment without question. it was played over and over claiming the candidate didn't know anything about Canada.

It could likely be applied to most any context. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate2112 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 HA! This is awesome! Both my parents are French-Canadians so we ALWAYS have poutine. BTW, for those from "away" it's pronounced: PUT-ZIN. Not POO-TEEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm against it at all. Going back to the currywurst thang, I randomly went to some German bar today and ordered some currywurst. Good stuff. Typical bar food that I wouldn't think twice about ordering 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadians, and/or relatives of canadians everywhere, I hereby step up to the lecturn of adult responsibility and utter these simple, but magical words—mea culpa! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 This might be a silly question but, is poutine found all over Canada? Can I go up to Vancouver and easily find this street dish comfort food? I still say it looks nasty but if tastes as good as everyone says, I'm willing to try it.

I still say it looks nasty but if tastes as good as everyone says, I'm willing to try it.It's ostensibly a Quebecois dish, but yeah, it's pretty easy to find at fast food joints out West. Vancouver's a little backwards when it comes to food carts though, so you probably won't find it on the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
