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
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.
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
Wait, hold on!

DeleteYes, 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.

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