When in Canada . . .

As the saying goes: "When in Canada, EAT like you're Canadian!"

Seriously! How are Canadians not dropping dead at every corner restaurant?! A dietary staple? Smoked meat with a side a poutine (which is the suspicious looking dish below with a fork in it). Yum, yum! Be sure to wash it down with a refreshing, room-temperature Coke!

For those of you unfamiliar with poutine, you should read all about it here.

It's basically French fries, topped with cheese curds and brown gravy. Canadians actually eat this s*%t for breakfast! Gross, right?! Lord help healthcare reform if poutine catches on in the States.

This is picture of our Florida State/Furman/Texas/Memphis (but not in that order) friend, Sean Atkinson. (Some of you may recognize him from the wedding groomsmen lineup.) Despite the risk of cholesterol overdose and cardiac arrest, Sean decided a meal-sized portion of poutine was a good idea.

Think again, Sean! Have fun at the three-hour afternoon session of scholarly discourse on "Schemata and Topoi." (We won't be sitting next to you . . . yikes!)
