26th September. Vacances Gastronomique Locale.

This evening Isabelle telephoned an order to "Mikes" in a semi-realistic attempt to recreate something of childhood treats eating "Poutine Italienne" in front of Commercial Television. "Mikes" specialises in sundry variants of Quebec's favourite fast-food. The basic form, consisting of chips covered with a layer of half-melted rubbery cheese something akin to Mozarrella, and BBQ sauce is known as "Poutine". "Poutine Italienne" replaces the BBQ sauce with a layer of Bolognese sauce, giving rise to its Latino label.

Although Quebec has become more health conscious of late, perhaps, not surprisingly, a high incidence of strokes and heart disease still persists...
