When I was in Quebec on a student exchange I was given some to try and I thought it was disgusting. My host family also offered me caramel spread for my morning toast, btw. Unfortunately, Poutine has slithered it's way into western Canadian hearts (and arteries), and one of my sons likes it. I would never cook it, though, and you have to use a particular type of cheese curds to be authentic.<br />To me it looks like those KFC bowls - a big glob of fat and starch that just sits at the bottom of your stomach. Athletes should not eat it but then, the Olympics are sponsored by Coke and MacDonalds, so there you go!Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656878898503709829.post-16503760679607101722010-02-03T14:11:28.835-08:002010-02-03T14:11:28.835-08:00Oh - I think it sounds absolutely delicious.

They were all the rage at county fairs (where everything that can have be mounted on a stick and deep fired, is) a few year ago. Along with deep fried cheese and deep fried twinkies.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17502168917372783418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5656878898503709829.post-82266657253787258782010-02-03T10:25:28.095-08:002010-02-03T10:25:28.095-08:00It takes all types.

So you could say that by the time they thought "what'll we fry next, ah yes Mars Bars" everything else under the sun went in to the fat at 200. <br />I think eeeeeww to both.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442327549417743472noreply@blogger.com
