Good luck finding poutine in Vancouver (give Brado Pizza a try if you haven't already!) :)Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964849431612656642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-58480793554115704852010-01-23T04:01:55.856-05:002010-01-23T04:01:55.856-05:00WOW!

Your post made me so proud haha :) I have this wild dream of opening a Poutine place in Vancouver, but the only problem is getting the real authentic cheese curds. Anyways, great stuff!! First time i read you blog. I was actuall craving poutine and search "Real poutine in Vancouver" on google and ended up on your blog somehow.Mathieuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03917693100402865805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-25443778245169735762009-11-18T21:46:35.208-05:002009-11-18T21:46:35.208-05:00I did not know there was a festival all about pout...I did not know there was a festival all about poutines! :)Karinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14646858297455615331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-50659437160657010152009-10-29T17:41:15.332-04:002009-10-29T17:41:15.332-04:00You had me at Annual Poutine Festival!

I just couldn't wait anymore and the Festival de la Poutine was the perfect opportunity to finally go. But very soon I'm going to start missing poutine and I'll have to make some kind of substitute at home (probably with non-squeaky cheese curds, sigh!) but luckily I brought home some packaged poutine mix (let me know if you are interested and I'll send you some!)Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964849431612656642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-41654283450936937102009-09-10T00:52:56.188-04:002009-09-10T00:52:56.188-04:00How fun!

I've corrected it now in my post - thanks :)<br /><br />We had limited time in Montreal so the only chain we tried was Frite Alors. There's only so much poutine a person can eat in 2 days before going into cardiac arrest! Also had to make sure we saved some tummy room for the decadent foie gras poutine at Au Pied de Cochon - more details next week...Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964849431612656642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-90167262656219944982009-09-09T23:16:36.235-04:002009-09-09T23:16:36.235-04:00My god - what an amazing trip!

Needed all my concentration for the poutine ;) And yeah, those human fingers in the banner were pretty bizarre, I would think that most of Chez Louis' target demographic are not actually cannibals, LOL. <br /><br />Heavenly Housewife: I'm glad it made someone laugh, hubby says reading this makes him want to cry, especially when he's looking at his poutine gut LOL. I can't wait till we finally get to do a piggy rampage together - imagine the carnage!!!! :D<br /><br />doggybloggy: Oh man, it was all about the cheese curds. Fresh squeaky giant cheese curds. So squeaky I could hear other people eating them from across the table. Now I know why people snack on them like popcorn. Currently experiencing major curd withdrawal. Thanks for leaving me a comment, I've been away from your blog for far too long and I just watched that crazy hot dog video and laughed my self silly. <br /><br />Jenn: Don't worry, poutine is slowly making it's way through the US. It's bound to arrive in LA soon :)<br /><br />Chow and Chatter: Thank you so much - you are too kind. As a dietitian and personal trainer, are you sure reading my blog doesn't make you cringe?! ;)<br /><br />Dave: Hey Dave, thanks for visiting! Definitely worth a trip to Drummondville just for the cheese curds but make sure you try all the famous poutiniers in Montreal while you're out there.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964849431612656642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-41156858010315168092009-09-09T13:25:35.781-04:002009-09-09T13:25:35.781-04:00An annual poutine festival!!

You've been too quiet, but I guess it was all the eating poutine. <br /><br />I have to say, the one with the fingers was a real turn off from a marketing perspective. Unless someone has cannibalistic tendencies, I do not understand the appeal of the finger picture. Chicken fingers I get but the human fingers, well that's another story.OysterCulturehttp://oysterfoodandculture.comnoreply@blogger.com
