The most Canadian place in London, apparently

[Caroline]

I walked past this place during my lunch break. It's supposed to be a Canadian bar, but when I went in it was exactly like an English one, except that they also served poutine. Somehow I feel like not a lot of effort went into this.

Also: Happy Thanksgiving.

Any place that serves poutine is doing the lords work. Unless their poutine sucks obviously.

If they say "yous guys" and offer 8 differently named but otherwise identical lagers on tap, then you're practically in Canada there.

Yeah I assume it has hand-cut fries with a 3-cheese mixture including gruyere, brie, and mascarpone with marrow gravy on the side as a dipping sauce. Right?

no, that's So-Can

Actually I think that might be the recipe they use for the fancy poutine you can get at Broadway Market.



They like to put a sprig of rosemary on top, which in no way disguises the terrifying mixture beneath.

I mean, seriously, for what's just supposed to be cheap-ass frenchy comfort food, this is just absurd.

What next, gourmet hotdo... oh right.

gourmet bangers and mash?

You mean Ivre de genereux Bordeaux, mousseline de pomme de terre avec truffe?



Yeah, that'll cost you £75.

That rosemary is just there to offer mocking contrast before your death from cardiac arrest, right? I also would have thought the English didn't need to borrow from Quebec for gravy starchy vegetable-free dishes.

I feel a truly terrible Canadian(TM) bar should have timbits for cocktail garnishes instead of olives or whatever the fuck. Just go all in you guys. Investigate further, Caroline. Maybe everything's secretly laced with maple syrup?

[Caroline]

Yeah, we do love our potatoes and gravy, though strangely not in chip form.

Also, this is the first time I've ever heard the word 'timbits'.

Just cutting in briefly here to mention that Minneapolis has poutine with Kimchi and pork belly.

I'm going here this weekend

Gochujang and poutine, be still my beating heart. Gotta get me some of that.

I believe the most Canadian place in London is Canada Water

"Timbits" are just a commercial name for doughnut holes.  Little 3 cm doughnut balls.  From a doughnut chain called Tim Hortons, named after a hockey player, and a supposedly Canadian institution (though owned by a US chain).

God, I'm starting to type like an old man here.  Get off my damn lawn.

[Boots Raingear]

It's important to know that Timbits are named after a guy named Tim who died in a car crash.
