The funny thing is that there are very few Wendy's in Quebec. The closest Wendy's to me is over 10km away in St. Leonard, and I'm hardly in the boonies. There are none downtown or even any near Longueuil/Brossard. Wendy's is about the only US fast food burger chain I actually don't mind.

Can't we have a dish that actually tastes good?

In as much as the hotdog in the American national dish? Right.

I also like Wendy's, their burgers don't give me diarrhea.

Gotta be careful when asking for une poutine in Quebec.

I tried Wendy's poutine the other day out of curiosity and I don't recommend it at all. The fries are not the right kind, the cheese did not squeak and they really skimped out on the gravy.

Welcome to virtually all fast food poutine.

Fast food poutine is horrible.

Nouvellecosse Apr 28, 2012 1:36 AM

Maybe that's why I didn't care for it the time I tried it. Not sure if I have enough nerve to make a second attempt. :ack:

There is a Wendy's near métro Vendôme. That one is certainly closer than the one in St. Leonard. There is another one near métro Namur too. (both on the west side of Decarie)

A&W poutine is the best

Smoke's Poutinerie is decent. Great with pulled pork.

The restaurant below my friend's place has a poutine that costs $22. I can't remember what's in it, but I think it had duck confit on top.

I'd rather Canada not adopt a national anything as the result of a Wendy's™ initiative.

Perhaps, but cities certainly have food that people identify with it.

Halifax: donairs
Montreal: poutine, smoked meat, bagels, hot dogs
Ottawa: beavertails
Winnipeg: nips
Calgary: steak
Vancouver: coffee

^ I can never tell if you get up really early or just stay up really late. :uhh: :ack:

Montreal has no claim to poutine, it's a Quebec-wide thing and I'm pretty sure it originated from somewhere else in the province. It's only really smoked meat and bagels that Montreal can claim as uniquely Montreal.

Poutine is said to originate from Drummondville or Warwick.

Vaillant Apr 28, 2012 1:20 PM

let's feed ourselves with poutine every days for a year and see what happen... :yuck:

MonctonRad Apr 28, 2012 1:58 PM

Poutine is not a national delicacy, it's a national disgrace! :yuck:

vid Apr 28, 2012 2:13 PM

How are hot dogs unique to Montreal? I've never heard of a Montreal hot dog.
