> geez you guys have been watching too many movies.That's what we call it in Ontario, Squig. Mike Myers was a FOAF when I was a teenager. He stole "No way!" "Way!" off me, when we were having coffee at Tim Horton's at Kennedy and Eglinton, SW corner, circa 1976. I receive no royalties, however.

Not! ;-) No offense to Chicago, but.....

I don't know what you're talking about, Squig. Montreal is nothing like the Paris I went to, etc. I never saw smoked meat in Paris.

Note to 'Mericans. Poutine is french fries with cheese curds and (usually) chicken gravy (in the original form). Nowadays, though, mozzarella and beef gravy are more typical in Ontario. It tastes a whole lot better than it sounds, and it is guaranteed to fill that hunger hole. Poutine means "mess", more or less, and it sure looks like one.

P.S. To 'Mericans. You can tell that a Canadian is from Toronto if they pronounce it Trawna.
