From sous-marins to steamés to poutine, Quebec fast food as no competition in North America. Quebecers just know what to do with grease and especially with potatoes.
My mother told me she was heading out for hot dogs so I placed an order for a ‘steamé all dressed avec une frite’ (steamed all dressed (mustard, onion, cabbage) hot dog with French fries).
The casse-croûte messed up my order slightly, sending me a toasté, but no big deal, it was all yummy! For a truly authentic flavour, you should leave your fries in the greasy paper sack, but I like my ketchup (mixed with LOTS of black pepper and some salt) on the side.
My mother eats super healthy, so this was an unexpected treat today. I make it a point to avoid casse-croûtes at all cost, so I only eat like this maybe two or three times a year. I’ve already had a poutine this summer, so I’m pretty much done for this trip. *smirks because she could justify a few more trips as ‘catching up on lost time’*
I took this picture with my phone, motivating me to figure out how to get pictures off the dang thing. The cable and memory card didn’t work, so I did some research and found a solution: Bluetooth. First time I’ve ever used that tech! All that bla bla bla to reward you with a pic of me sitting at the wheel of my truck! 😀
When I was in grade 8 in Vancouver, there was a Chinese restaurant about a block from the school that sold french fries. For ten cents you got a paper bag stuffed with the greasy morsels! Add a few shakes of salt and a few shakes from the malt vinegar bottle and you had a real treat! On those days when you felt really rich (after mowing the lawn for $) you could add a nickle and get double the amount! I can still remember the smell coming out of that bag!
Malt vinegar, yum! Those must have been good fries!
Green becomes you. Congrats
Thanks, P.J.! I love the colour of my truck. If I had bought new, that’s the colour I would have picked!
