Bill Maher came to Montreal, Canada to eat poutine. Martina, I still have three packs of St-Hubert’s poutine gravy; we should have fun on Saturday. Getting the fries right, again, will be the key.
Possibly Al Jazeera’s worse “Street Food” episode—and it just so happens to be about Montréal. What a pity. I’m not even going to post the second part.
The host was a mistake. She’s a Torontonian and loves how “European” Montréal is; yeah, no shit Sherlock! How do you think all the white people started trickling over?
She starts off by telling us how stylish and sophisticated people from Montréal are. (But fails to mention those who hang out at a bars like Les Foufounes Électriques, which means electric bumbums).
She interviews this older woman who should really not be seen on television, and does nothing but eat fancy expensive foods on over-decorated platters of pompous fine eating. Who puts things in spoons anyway? That’s what marketing magazines tell middle-aged women to serve their guests because they have nothing else to report on.
Then we hear about poutine with foie gras; what a pathetic aberation! What’s wrong with a good, ol’ poutine on the side of the road when you’re piss drunk at four in the morning? Nothing!
Anyway, for a taste of bad journalism, food biases and cultural clichés: this one is a gem!

You know not because you’ve been to Montreal once you have to douche out every time you say croissant.

News from the snowy Land-O-Poutine:
Montreal is protesting in solidarity with Tunisians. The protest was held outside Château Vaudreuil, a hotel where some believe Bin Ali is hiding relatives. Pick your diplomatic position from behind one of these two curtains:
Curtain A—Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: Some members of the ousted Tunisian president’s family are in Canada, and they already have permanent resident status.
Curtain B—Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper: Canada will… co-operate with the international community in dealing with members of the former regime. They are not welcome—I’ll be very clear—we do not welcome them in our country.
I miss poutines. Read more on the CBC.
