On SWMBO's bucket list is Quebec City and in a few weeks we will be spending a few days there. She has booked a room in the middle of the old city
and dinner at "the" Canadian fine dining spot. While perusing the online menu what pops up but the following item: Poutine : Homemade french
fries, gravy sauce, curd cheese. Not having a clue as to what this is, I Google it and am somewhat appalled to find they are serving
french-fries, smothered in gravy and cheese curds next to all the fancy appetizers. Really????
From their photos, it appears to be served on fancy china with real silver table ware and $100 bottles of wine. Is this finger food? Are you allowed
to cut it with a knife and fork? Should we tie our napkins around our necks, it looks pretty messy?
And just to make sure a trick is not being played on us 'mericans; we think the word "poutine" is very, very close to a Bakersfield slang for the
female primary uhmmm, you know. I would hate to order this and get thrown out of the establishment.

Would take a lot to get you thrown out of most of the places in QC..Just order what sounds good, and do what needs to be done...I'll be in Montreal on
the 17th...Wave when ya go by....

Just ask them for some ketchup for the fries and the main course and lets see their reaction.
