Food Trucks

 
I love the food trucks. Today was a special day, there were seven new food trucks visiting our campus.


There were so many choices ....


Two of my favorites ...



Bacon poutine and a cinnamon-sugar BeaverTail. Only in Canada!

Wait, hold on!

I always thought that beaver tails were this silly thing we gave to tourists. There are Canadians that actually eat it? I'm curious if I was just living in pastry ignorance.

As for the poutine, it looks lovely though I cant help but mention that poutine is old Quebec argot for "pauvre en viande" or deprived of meat

I find Smoke's to be pretty bad, overall.

Yes, you were. :-)

I'm partial to the chocolate and banana BeaverTails but sometimes they're just too messy, especially if you have poutine in your other hand.

That's why it's called "bacon poutine." It's a meal deprived of meat, with meat. Makes sense to me.

BTW, it wasn't that good. I think you have to be in Quebec to get good poutine.

"good poutine"

Based on my single experience with poutine from a summer food stand in Newport, Vermont (five miles from Quebec, but perhaps a world away), "good poutine" is a non sequitor! :D

Killaloe Sunrise Beavertail for me, please (a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of cinnamon+sugar). For a main course, garlic butter and mozzarella is good. I'll pass on the poutine though - chips and curds are tasty, but I don't much like gravy on anything.
