The Allure of Cheese Fries and Gravy

Poutine = Canadian pheromones

Poutine = Canadian pheromones

Forget oysters, pomegranates, and your other pansy aphrodisiacs. Want to get asked out by that cute barista sporting stubble and a soulful gaze? If you’re in Canada, try poutine.

Poutine, sold in Canadian eateries from McDonald’s to popular restaurant chain Dic Ann’s, appears to be a steaming pile of cheese curds, fries and BBQ chicken gravy. This concoction apparently stirs up that lovin’ feeling in cute Canucks. Our Block Ambassador to Canada (a.k.a. Jess) had sampled some of Canada’s finest cuisine and, eminating aromas of gravy and potato, was immediately chatted up by a hottie in a top-shelf coffee bar.

Now, we’ll have to hunt down some bonne poutine to see if this stuff works in Charm City.

    Mmmm, that picture does make poutine look delicious. I don’t know why, but something about the word “poutine” sounds a little randy. I think that the naughty mental images conjured up by the sound of the word alone must stimulate hormones to get a-workin’, lending poutine its celebrated come-hither power. Just saying poutine peaks a Canuck’s curiosity, but holdin the poutine and letting the Canuck imagine what may be, well holds some kind of modest/innocent temptation that the Canada-men can not resist.
