[/quote] Yes. You do. Take curds, put them on fries. Add gravy. MMmm. Good ol' French. [quote name='Nihil Obstat' date='09 February 2010 - 05:40 PM' timestamp='1265755210' post='2054375'] Simulated flavour isn't supposed to taste like the real thing. [/quote] THAT is what I try and tell people. For instance, BBQ doesn't [i]really [/i]taste like BBQ (BBQ what, anyways?). [quote name='Arpy' date='09 February 2010 - 07:38 PM' timestamp='1265762304' post='2054433'] Heck yes! I want to try this. [/quote] You should. Go. Do it. Now.
zunshynn Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 You Canadians should be punished severely for promoting poutine. The trauma you are afflicting on unsuspecting Americans... Shame.

Besides, southerners deep fry everything from Mars Bars to Ice cream, and you don't see us cringing (instead, you see us lining up for some).

I trust that. So, I'm definitely willing to try poutine.

jeffpugh Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 I am happy at the list of people who like pie so far. I find the list of Nay-Sayers interesting too.
Nihil Obstat Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 There's no option for me. I don't hate them, don't love them, but I'm not refusing to speculate.
jeffpugh Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 Pick A. Nothing says anything about love. I don't love them either. I can't eat a whole bag in one sitting. Just too much.

jeffpugh Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 I have a room mate who does not like pie. It can be a hinderence to friendship

For the record, I'd rather have pie over any kind of chips/crisps any day. But it was a ketchup chip poll.
