I wasn't impressed with poutine. I like ketchup on my fries. The wackos down here put vinegar on fries, that's gross too.

I still don't understand exactly what a toque is. lol I was supposed to meet one of my Canadian friends at a bar two years ago and since I didn't know what he looked like, he told me he would be wearing a toque. I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. It's a knit cap for your head, right?

I think a hammered stumbling french girl is better, but poutine is a close second.
