lol, Gaby...i first tried it way up in Hearst, Ont (that's at the tip of Yonge St/Hwy#11) and it sure hits the spot on a cold day...i was watching smoke come out of smokestacks and it's weird but the smoke travels straight across the sky instead of upward, a local said 'that means it's cold' ...it was -40C, which is the temp where F and C are equal, no conversion necessary, so life's just generally less confusing up there, lol )

yeah, there's enuf fat in the stuff to help one survive a good few weeks in those cold woods!


Strange. I always thought smoke rose straight up on a cold day and traveled sideways when it's cloudy. Maybe that only happens in Maine. We are kind of weird up here.

I once had a college student from Tennessee that I hired one summer. He noticed another employee eating poutine and asked if he could have a taste. He though it was delicious, and asked what it's called, and where he could get some. The other guy, one of the worse practical jokers I've ever met, told the kid it was Poontang, and he could get it at the restaraunt down the street. Zack, the kid from Tennessee, called in a order of Poontang just about ever night that summer, while the rest of us sat back and tried not to giggle. I can't even imagine what the people at Pat's Bar & Grill thought.
