What you say sounds much more plausible. And more edible, too.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-70442532312503428772008-09-21T14:43:00.000-07:002008-09-21T14:43:00.000-07:00Umm...

I'm pretty sure that fast food sign you saw was selling "poutines" rather than "poitrines" which means chests. <BR/><BR/>Although just to be sure I looked it up in my french-english dictionary and indeed "poitrine" can mean breast in the culinary sense, so maybe it did in fact say "poitrines" if it was a fast food joint trying to class it up a bit.<BR/><BR/>In case anyone is wondering, poutine (regrettably pronounced "poo-TEEN", a bit like the Russian guy only with the stress on the second syllable instead of the first) is a well-known and well-loved dish over here (here being central Canada, not sure if east and west Canada are as fond of it) consisting of french fries covered with cheese curds and smothered in gravy. Even our "New York Fries" fast food outlets in malls sell poutine.Muttsandaklutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551047401085562752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-80803125483977859622008-09-21T09:11:00.000-07:002008-09-21T09:11:00.000-07:00I always name my Sherpa Bags Mary Lou. :)Have a gr...I always name my Sherpa Bags Mary Lou.<BR/> :)<BR/><BR/>Have a great time.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816550162486832524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-71446263950815290832008-09-21T06:06:00.000-07:002008-09-21T06:06:00.000-07:00Have fun!Have fun!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.com
