A Guide to Canada for Chicagoans-- Part 3

EATIN' LIKE A CANUCK-- The greatest culinary treat is the poutine; french fries smothered in cheese and gravy and served in various styles. And, you could just add vinegar to your fries. Sounds a lot like a horseshoe to me.

Then,there are the PEIs (Prince Edward Island oysters or salmon, Canadian cheddar, peameal or back bacon, better known is these parts as Canadian bacon.


CANADIAN BACON-- and speaking of Canadian bacon, there is one of the funniest-ever movies called "Canadian bacon" about John Candy and his cohorts declaring war on Canada. This was one FUNNY movie.

And, we definitely can't forget the hosers in the movie "Strange Brew," eh? Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas as the affable, though somewhat clueless beer guzzling brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie.


TOQUE-- Then there's that really funny gear they wear sometimes called a toque. You've got to see one to believe it.


STUFFED, SORE AND SOUSED-- At the end of a day in Canada, you'll "be tired, stuffed, sore from getting checked into the boards and perhaps a little drunk (especially if you've been drinking the CR).
