Poutine is delicious. How can it not be ? Potatoes and cheese ? Of course, it's fast food. It's not refined unless you go to Au pied de cochon, where you can buy a poutine for 35$ which is served with seared foie gras.The first time I heard about Poutine I thought it sounded like the most disgusting dish ever. But then I'm German, so I better keep my mouth shut about food.
See.. i didn't know they were typical Montreal ? I thought they were common in all amusement parks, are they not ? That tells you I much prefer savory to sweet food

I have looked at the practice schedule... I don't think I will be able to attend other than perhaps the men on Saturday morning... if i am not dead already by then. Being a figure skating fan is intense.

Fascinating story about the beaver tails...

For those observing Lent : In the 17th century, the bishop of Quebec City decreed that the beaver was a fish, because it lived mainly in the water and had scales on its tail, which meant that the Roman Catholic inhabitants of New France could eat beaver on Fridays and during Lent, when their Church forbid them to eat meat.
And for @icewhite
The pastries that we now call BeaverTails came from a recipe belonging to Grant Hookerās grandmother, who was of German origin
It seems to be similar to what is here called Franzbrƶtchen (indicating French origin, but it's actually from Hamburg... only the form is different... maybe because we do not have many beavers here...) or what I would call Berliner... and what the Berliner call Pfannkuchen... and what is elsewhere known as Krapfen... only with the topping... on top instead of stuffed in.
Thanks for the link. I especially liked the competitor who named their version: Canadian Semiaquatic Rodent Posterior DoughnutSee.. i didn't know they were typical Montreal ? I thought they were common in all amusement parks, are they not ? That tells you I much prefer savory to sweet food

I didn't know there was a chain of fastfood outlets (?or whatever they are) called that. The beaver tails I remember buying my kids when we lived in Ottawa and Montreal were bought in doughnut shops and were as if you took a ball of glazed doughnut mixture (not cake doughnut batter) and instead of shaping it in a ring, you just smashed it with your fist and made it a flat oval shape. Maybe it was a different bakery and they just called their shape that but didn't copyright it like this family did. (They also made doughnut people, and Christmas tree and bell shapes in midwinter.)See.. i didn't know they were typical Montreal ? I thought they were common in all amusement parks, are they not ?

Ahhhh....those days of yesteryear when I went to US nats and went to all the Novice, Jr and Senior practices as well as the comps.....it would just about kill me by weeks end....but had lots of fun talking with friends....There were of course places like Worlds LA 2009 and US Nats Omaha, Greensboro, etc where the practice rink was close by....
i had it a couple times when visiting La Ronde, the amusement park. I liked the simple sprinkled sugar ones.. never had any of these ones with so many toppings
I don't know how you did that! Even a Sk Amer can be tiring when you do it all. But it is energizing and fun talking with everyone. You will be missed at Worlds!
My very first beaver tail had strawberries and cream on it.
haha this is something typical a Montrealer would say

banana and nutella is a good combo.. never had it on beaver tail but i had it on toast and pancakes.. very popular... i wonder who is less original, you or your friend
A close second... Montreal people live on maple syrup
Canadian Bacon marrinated in Maple syrup for 8 hours.....yum....
Don't be scared of the retirement thread... to me, the beautiful dance they showed a few weeks ago (outside venue) is like a swan song. At first, I saw it as a "yay, they did train and want to come back"... but now, with some time to think about it, the emotion was so intense and raw after their skate, it's hard not to think it's a very likely possibility.Retirement or not, unfulfilled career for sure. Reminds me of Seguin Bilodeau who were also fan favourites and making early waves but then..... concussions over concussions..
