This should be a 3-way with Canadians putting gravy on fries.

Haven't tried gravy on pudding but I'm sure it's as great as the other two.

I strongly agree

Tell me you’re a poutine virgin w/o saying it…

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wasn't being sarcastic. I like both poutine and biscuits and gravy, and I'm pretty sure gravy on pudding is good too. They all sound off-putting if you don't know what they are, though.

You know the Brits do that too.

And if you fancy a moment of horror,look up what a Wigan Kebab is.

It’s hard to go wrong with gravy. But I’m Canadian, we don’t use whatever you guys call biscuits. We use French fries and cheese.

I got hooked on poutine after my first visit to Canada, made my own for weeks afterwards. 10/10 no notes

Add some Mexican pork sausage to that poutine and I'm in.

I think I've seen chorizo poutine as an option the one time I visited Canada, in Niagara falls I believe it was. But I only had time to try the classic, and also I can't remember if it was Mexican style chorizo or Spanish style chorizo or something else

Yes and we Canadians like browned gravy from roasts. White sausage gravy isn’t really a thing here.

Cheese curds make my teeth feel funny. But in a good way.

So when you say "pudding", you mean white pudding or black pudding?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Tapioca pudding.

You don’t have biscuits or gravy though.

The English word "Sherbert" and the bangla word "Sharbat" derive from a common linguistic ancestor from before the indo-european split. One word refers to flavored ice, and another refers to a cold, sweet drink.

Odds are, neither one is the same as the original proto-indo-european refreshment that they derived from. When a people goes to a new place, they take their tastes with them and apply them to what's available to them there.

Words, too, change meaning over time. It's just the way things go. Nothing stays the same. Cultures drift, and people evolve.

What I call a biscuit may be closer to what you call a scone, and white gravy may be an abomination to your eyes, but it is just as cherished to me as Yorkshire pudding and brown gravy likely is to you.

And hell, y'all's empire fell to pieces long ago. The time is coming where y'all're gonna have to start engaging with cultures other than y'all's own as equals instead of with that insufferable smug sense of superiority for once. Best start practicing now

Neither of those are Sherbert

I’m having a laugh mate. Why do so many of you take so much so seriously?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

They love engaging with the French and copying their food and language to seem sophisticated.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

We aren’t a hive mind mate.
