    Poutine! ;)

    Blasphemy! That's not French. It's Canadian.
    Almost. It's Quebecois.

    Et les Quebecois veux imaginer qu'ils sont pas Canadien!

    But poutine is unbelievable!

    Lived in France for a lot of years and never heard of poutine before - sounds good though.
    I shall add it to my list of things to make this autumn (alongside some very non-French pumpkin pie).

    Don't be hating! It's FRENCH Canadian. That's like telling your child they're not part of your family any more just because they moved out and bought their own house. :(
    That's like saying that Spanish food is the same as Mexican food, they have similarities but for example, they don't have mole in spain.

    Yeah. Quebec and France are too completely different things.

    If I lived in France I would die, simply because I couldn't pronounce anything! I've always heard a lot about French cuisine but I haven't experienced it. If I see the word France the first thing that comes to mind is cheese, lol...

    We're about to visit my spouse's French family in Paris, and I'm looking forward to a good choucroute garni! In general, when I close my eys and think of French food, I see meats, particularly organ meats. What I DON'T see is vegetables. In my experience restaurant meals (at least) are far more about the proteins, and far less about the veggies -- although the few you get are AWFULLY good.
