I was coming back from work, and on the radio they were talking about a Montreal restaurant that started selling poutine burgers. You read that right, POUTINE BURGERS. Seriously? Poutine is the meal of the gods, so why is everyone so desperate to create new and innovative ways to tarnish it, from replacing the gravy with spaghetti sauce to putting it in a bun? And besides, how are you supposed to hold such a burger? Typically, things you put in a bun are consistent enough to stay in it without dropping off, which of course isn't the case of fries and cheese curds drenched in gravy.
But still, POUTINE BURGERS. What next, poutine ice cream?
Keep in mind, poutine is to Quebec as bacon is to the USA. Putting it in whatever you can is just what stupid people obsessed with internet culture do.
ReplyDeleteYeah, what sucks is my school's cafeteria puts bacon on everything, and it's disgusting IMO
DeleteYeah. What happened to just eating bacon by itself as opposed to as a topping?...
DeleteAre you joking? I almost can't think of any food that isn't made better by putting bacon on it, as long as the bacon isn't floppy and gross.
DeleteBut bacon itself is better if you DON'T put it on anything...
DeleteHonestly, a poutine burger just sounds disgusting. What's so appetizing about regular poutine anyway?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely nothing. It's one of those "don't judge a book by its cover" cases. It looks somewhat disgusting on first sight, but when you actually taste it... you get a pleasant surprise. Unless you dislike meals containing quite a lot of fat in general of course.
DeleteTo be fair, bacon itself doesn't look that tasty on first sight either. You have to taste it first before you realize it.
It's not poutine ice cream, but it is a dessert in the style of poutine...http://blog.hipmunk.com/ice-cream-poutine/
