Hi Forrest,

I’ve never tried Poutine, but I can imagine how good it can taste (I must try do it) :)

About your conversation: I can understand that you can be disappointed with the reaction of people, but I think it is mater of taste. I live in Scotland, where Black Pudding and Haggis are national dish. There is a lot of people who just love those things. But most of the people from outside making big eyes when they find out what is inside :) I tried Haggis - not really tasty, but I will never even try to smell Black Pudding…

Ps. Swedes have a sweet cream cace with salted herrings inside. Some Swiss eat dogs :)

Cheers,
Pawel
