I can only figure it must be back bacon or something... probably topped with Maple Syrup. Let's see, what else... poutine.

Oh and Tim...I checked out that link, and I have to agree there is nothing like back bacon and our smoked meat! -------------- Thinking of a new signature line.

Do you all throw a partridge on the table...or go with a simple turkey?????:big_smile:

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2006/10/09, 07:21 PM Wqhat I don't get is that we went to a steakhouse in Canada and it was called "Big Montana' or some other US beef state. Doesn't Alberta have a big beef industry?? Quebec cuisine... le turkey, le sweet pomme de terre, le gravy, le pumpkin pie... -------------- We are what we repeatedly do.

yadmit Posts: 4,670 Joined: 2003/10/05	2006/10/09, 07:24 PM Yes, Alberta is big beef country... and we have a Montana's here in my city and I believe it serves Alberta beef... I've often wondered why we don't have "Alberta's." I'm guessing it would make people think they are eating in their own back yard. If you go to "Montana's," at least you might feel you drove for a while. :)

Quebec cuisine would be; Poutine (French fries with cheese and gravy) Baked beans steamed hot dogs Cretons Pepsi May West cakes And on healthy food...Quebec lamb nothing like it!

So, in order to smoke them out, they decided to set it on fire. After awhile, the soldiers started to feel a little funny. Turns out the "forest" was made out of very tall marijuana plants!
