HOLD IT


No, no, no, mon frere, this will not do at all.


You have a conflict of interest plain as the nose on your face,



and you cannot prove that what she ate were not the so-called "Montreal" style bagels.


So I'm afraid we're going to have to let the witness's testimony stand.
 
Gentlemen, she's already been mauled by a doomweasel and now you want her to listen to you two doorknobs? Isn't that cruel and unusual punishment?

I'm sorry, only people with Turnabout animated gifs can participate in this conversation.
 
If more arguments on the internet were in the form of Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney characters, that would be amazing. They'd actually not be general wastes of time.
 
May I say again how incredibly adorably your daughter is and how I think she would benefit from a doomweasel of her own?[DOUBLEPOST=1397159930,1397159862][/DOUBLEPOST]
Are those hushpuppies?
They are indeed. The good kind too.
 


This is the hush puppies that a local catfish place made. They are not the good kind. My brothers called them Lincoln Logs. I don't remember if it was for the looks or the taste.

But I do miss them from time to time.[DOUBLEPOST=1397163266,1397163168][/DOUBLEPOST]That reminds me more East Texas food.

Quebec cuisine

Poutine - You should know what the fuck this is at this point. Fries, cheese curds... Jesus' gravy. @Adam wants to come back to Montreal to eat more of this I'm sure.



Montreal Bagels - Bagels? Really??? Yep! We have legendary bagels. Everyone who knows right, knows that. Heck, some people make a living just bringing cases of these from Montreal to the States as quickly as possible and sell them off at 10$ US each. (they cost .50 bulk each)


Tire-Neige (Sugar Shack) - Breakfast-y foods.... with a final salute to your clogged arteries... 100% maple syrup... on snow. IT'S AWESOME... and all you can eat from start to end.



Quebec Cheese - Known for a variety of local cheese... Quebec has a lot to offer to cheese lovers.



Montreal Smoked Meat - Don’t call it pastrami. Montreal’s sandwich of choice bears some similarities to the New York deli specialty, but there are key differences, too, in the process and spices used to cure the beef brisket and in the resulting flavor. Epic local places provide the world possibly the best smoked meat in the world. @Adam Do you remember Reubens? Haven't been since...



Pouding Chomeur (poor man's pudding) - Maple Syrup pudding cake... need I say more?



And many other things.... but these are the big ones...

unless I get 10 brofists....
Speaking of which, I'm back in Montreal at the end of May for 4 days :D
 
Jay, since I cannot prove or disprove that the bagel in question was from any of those places, although it was made and purchased in Montreal to be sure, all I can offer you is...

...a boot to the head.

Your offer to Jay is appropriate, though your opinion of Montreal bagels is still wrong.

There was this place, long since closed, in Colorado Springs called "Lotsabagels," they had the best potato bagels ever. They were so big and fluffy they had no hole at all. I used to eat those things like crazy. When I worked for Oracle I'd just go grab a dozen on my way in to work in the morning and nosh on them all day long.
 
Saskatchewan was settled heavily by immigrants from central Europe, so we have
cabbage rolls
perogies
shnitzel
spatzle
paprikash
goulash
Not to mention you specifically living practically next door to the best freakin' restaurant I've probably ever been to, run by a chef from Peru: http://holeinthewallrestaurant.ca/

Reservation only. At the end of a gravel road in an unincorporated hamlet. Expect to be there for 3+ hours. And holy crap, nom nom nom!!!!
 
From the picture, the shape. Oblong puppies tend to be a little bit sweeter and softer than the round ones, which tend to be crunchier, grainier and a stronger cornmeal flavor. Obviously that's not just because of the shape, but in my head I tend to associated the style of the recipe with the shape.
 
Lobster, lobster rolls, McLobster sandwiches, lobster tails, lobster ravioli
Mussels, curried mussels, beer mussels
India Pale Ales
Fiddleheads
Dulse
Blueberry grunt
Donairs

Well, thanks to this thread, I discovered the local Kolache place sells what ever is left over from the morning for half price after noon.

I also learned about BACON CHEESE KOLACHES.
 
Alright, here in Newfoundland we have a few dishes. I might remember more after this!

Toutons: Fresh bread dough fried in oil or butter. A breakfast must. Serve with molasses or jam!

Partridge Berry anything: Tarts, pies, jams, muffins, krinkles, etc.

Figgy Duff: Basically you mix your ingredients (brown sugar, raisins, etc.) and put them in a cheeze cloth bag. Shove that in a can or pot and boil.

Fish and Brewis: Salt cod and hard tack/hard bread. Soak over night together. Boil seperatly..mash together.

Flipper Pie: Made from harp seals and one of the many reasons why Newfoundlanders hate people like Pamela ANderson, Ellen Degeneres and Paul McCartney. They trying to steal our lively hood AND food!

Jiggs Dinner: A typical sunday dinner. Has salt beef, potatos, carrot and cabbage (ick) boiled together.

Scrunchions: I tihnk this may exist in Quebec as well? It like...big skin or meat thats fried?
 
There are two things that - as far as I know - are almost exclusively here in the Maritimes:

Garlic Fingers
Donairs

I discovered the hard way about the former when I tried ordering my usual pizza and garlic fingers when I had first moved to Toronto. No one had a clue what I was talking about and kept asking if I meant garlic bread or garlic sticks.
 
Hmm... let's see. What is the regional food of Seattle? Oh... that's right. Really fresh mussels, clams, crab, salmon, steelhead, and geoducks. And if we range a bit further east, there's Applets and Cotlets, which are a strange jelly like candy with apple and/or apricot bits in them, depending upon the type of 'let. And apparently we have a Seattle dog which is a hot dog on a pretzel bun with cream cheese and caramelized onions - but no one really knows about that one. I really wish we were better known for more, but that's what you get when you live on a northern coast line, I suppose.
