Lobster Poutine
I recently made a trip to Canada to try to more fully understand their “Canadian cuisine”, which I have alleged is about as real as the Yeti or the Loch Ness monster. You may want to review a previous post, “Canadian Cuisine – Oxymoron or Not?” where we talk about their national dish – Poutine. Made with French fries topped with cheese curds and brown gravy, one is tempted to giggle thinking that this is a “national dish”. Since I had gone public with my sentiments, I decided not to travel too deeply into Canada for fear that they might take me and my wife hostage. So we went from home in Wisconsin to Niagara on the Lake, Ontario – close enough to escape on foot back to the U.S.

The Canadians describe the dish as a “heart-stopper”, which I actually thought that was a tall busty blonde in high heels until they corrected me. (more…)

Poutine – National Dish of Canada?!
I have a number of Canadian friends and they know that I am into cooking. We trade barbs from time to time and half-jokingly I told one of them that I was considering a blog post called “Canadian Cuisine – Oxymoron or Not”. That produced some quick retorts like, “You really think you’re funny, don’t you?!” and “I’m surprised you Americans can even spell cuisine”. I knew that I had struck a nerve. (more…)
