ExiledInIllinois Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 You got a good team up there in Montréal... Last year, the Sabres owned the Habs... I didn't fear them last year (hoped they would beat Carolina... And came real close...) Yet, this year I fear them! Should be a good game... I am stuck on 2nds... I am glad that it will be on Sirius 128 Sat. night... Sure hope I get the BFLO feed! I will be getting my Sabres-'Hawks tix for the Jan. 10th game here at the UC... Of course I will be getting the cheap seats (45 bucks)... Can you believe the lower level is going for 250 a pop here in Chicago! So screw you and your poutine avec fromage... For at least one night that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 You don't have a video feed? 860141[/snapback] They are cracking down here... I couldn't even get this site for a while... Because of the filters... I am not sure how I am getting past it now?... For a while TSW was "tagged" as a Message Board ( )... Now SabreSpace... I never had a problem... Think I need to talk to SDS if that nasty filter rears its head again??? My broadband card isn't that fast either... And read the fine print, they don't want you "slinging" or going over 5GB a month... Eff Verizon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 Wide Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I fear Huet. That guy seems to really keep the Sabres on lockdown. The Sabres have found ways to win against him, but its a dogfight every inch of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 So screw you and your poutine avec fromage... For at least one night that is... 860139[/snapback] Poutine is Fries with cheese curds and gravy, so the "avec fromage" part is unneccesary unless you REALLY like your cheese I don't fear the Habs, but I do know they are a good team and could give the Sabres their first back to back loss this year with the way Buffalo is playing recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 AP... The only time I had it was back in 1987 when I was at Mont Ste-Anne in Québec... It was the fast food type. Some tidbits that I Wiki'd: The dish originated in rural Québec, Canada in the late 1950s and is now popular all over the country. Several communities claim to be the origin of poutine, including Drummondville, Québec (by Jean-Pierre Roy) and Victoriaville, Québec. The most popular tale is the one of Fernand Lachance, from Warwick, Quebec, which claims that poutine was invented in 1957, when a customer ordered fries while waiting for his cheese curds from the Kingsey cheese factory in Kingsey Falls (now in Warwick and bought by Saputo). Lachance is said to have exclaimed ça va faire une maudite poutine ("it will make a hell of a mess"), hence the name. The sauce was allegedly added later, to keep the fries warm longer. Linguists have found no occurrence of the word poutine with this meaning earlier than 1978. Note... The time I tried it again was only 9 years after (Blue). My guess it has evolved in 20 said years since I had it???... Some restaurants boast a dozen or more variations of poutine. Another variation, poutine Galvaude, includes shredded chicken and green peas, often eliminating the cheese— this mimics the typical Québécois preparation of a hot chicken sandwich.

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Nah, I rarely ever saw a poutine without cheese. 861056[/snapback] You said rarely... So that means you have saw it sans fromage?... How old are you?... Or should I say, how old were you in 1987?... Again, the only time I had it... Believe it or not, made a big impression on me... Even if it was in the lodge, fast food style at Ste-Anne. Growing up... Smoothering your fries with a gallon of vinegar and pound of salt was always a hit with me (probably because of the trips to Crystal Beach in Ontario)?... I know that is an English thing too... Kinda funny because out here, they look at you strange if you request vinegar... Except at Culver's (Wisconsin based burger place that is expanding throughout the midwest-- Home of the "Butter Burger" and frozen custard) ... They keep the malt vinegar in packets for you to take to my amazement... Actually, poutine would seem like a big hit in WS... Now... A guy I work with said that he remembers places here in Chicago serving "gravy and fries"... This was in the 1960's when he was in highschool... Even my "lame" Wiki source notes that linguist's can't even trace the word "poutine" WITH THIS MEANING prior to 1978... Again, a short 9 years prior to when I had it... So it was still evolving???? My take? Of course I am not an uber Candadien like yourself... The stuff (poutine) being traced to the 1950's (like the legend has it)... Probably has really taken off outside Québec and throughout Canada like wildfire in the last 20 years???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I have never seen anywhere that serves poutine without cheese in Ontario, My friend who has many relatives in quebec and is french said poutine is always fries cheese and gravy. Maybe some areas have different versions, who knows, but everytime I have heard or seen it, its always fries cheese curds and gravy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I distinctively remember the "avec fromage" tag back in that lodge... Again... Thinking about it... It may have been a description of what poutine was... But, that doesn't make any sense since I was in the heart of French speaking Canada... ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
