If you are offended by dirty word, please feel free to skip over the italicized comment.<br /><br /><i>When I was in high school, there was a girl in my class named Tiffany. Once, when she overheard some fellow classmates (all boys) talking about the stuff, she got excited and described how she loved eating poutine. She loved the slippery texture and the juicy gravy, and she especially loved it when it got soggy. Her excitement made her the boys blush a little bit, and so did she when I explained to her afterward that they were talking about poontang, not poutine.</i><br /><br />"Gyros", as I understand it, is the Greek name for a donair, with shaved beef or lamb. It would be served with tzatziki sauce, not tahini.kingmonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875604039242908927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12546017.post-16150174064405645542009-07-13T12:27:40.700-04:002009-07-13T12:27:40.700-04:00I'll have to take your word for it that shawar...I'll have to take your word for it that shawarma is good. I don't suppose they make a vegan variety? :)<br /><br />You might want to consider taking a vacation to the Minnesota State Fair in St Paul sometime. You'd be in heaven--they have pork chops on a stick, walleye on a stick, chocolate covered bacon on a stick, and various other meat and stick combinations. and for dessert you can have a deep fried candybar on a stick. The ambulance will be standing by :)Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12546017.post-37911233238829074712009-07-12T21:54:58.254-04:002009-07-12T21:54:58.254-04:00Hey Rhapsody!
Don't knock "poutine" ...Hey Rhapsody!<br />Don't knock "poutine" until you've tried it.<br />You're right though, it does sound like some kind of porno-word or something.<br />But wow... my last visit to Toronto, stayed the better part of a week there and stayed up way too late every night, until the ONLY thing opened when I needed to eat at 3 a.m. was this one Burger King.<br />My friend and I walked about six miles down Yonge Street for poutine every night. [The <i>food</i>... not the..... never mind.]<br />But it is like eating <i>death</i>, health-wise.<br /><br />This is why you will NOT see me in the 100-meter hurdles event at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver!<br />Well... unless there's some kind of Shawarma-Hut© at the end of the track....... I'll knock every one of those fences over to get to <i>THAT!</i><br /><b>GOLD MEDAL!</b>Ciprianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00254338542624853230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12546017.post-19318476514307942032009-07-12T21:07:23.675-04:002009-07-12T21:07:23.675-04:00P.S.

I predict poutine won't make it. (a) it sounds too much like a naughty word and (b) the cholesterol drug people will lobby against it. Or they should, at any rate!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
