I recently tried cooking with a Yaxell Gou Santoku knife. Sweet!

I had poutine last night. I was not impressed.

I've had it a few times and while I do like it, I don't think it's the kind of dish that can really 'impress' anyone.

Hey Cal, going to get some gas station burgers!

  It's a joint that took over half of the building a Chevron convenience store occupies. It's actually really good. 

e:  oh god so full

Yeah, major let down for me after the hype.

Great name though.

[Iormlund]

You know what's a major let down? German cuisine. Ugh.

I know it' an old post I'm replying to, but...

When I was in Whitehorse, at one point we had 3-4 Quebecker lawyers working in the office.  One day they're all excited: the Association Franco-Yukonnais was putting on a poutine night, complete with cheese curds flown in from Quebec.  They insisted I had to come with them to have poutine when I admitted I'd never had it.

So here I am with all these Quebeckers and I try my first ever "authentic" poutine... and what can I say.  It's French fries with gravy and cheese.  It's not a bad dish by any means, but it tasted exactly like I expected it to.

Now I rather liked german cuisine when I was there.

But maybe because it reminded me a fair bit of the bit of Ukrainian home cooking I'd get from time to time at home.  Very simple, stick-to-the-ribs kind of stuff, but very comforting.

My office is right next to Edmonton's Chinatown, but I rarely take advantage of that.

But today I did.  A group of us wandered into Chinatown for dim sum.  We found a place on the second level of a semi-deserted retail building.

You know it'll be good when there were 100 chinese eating there, and maybe 3 other with people.  And it was.

26 pieces of sushi.

[Eddie Teach]

Are they cut into alphabet shapes?

[The Brain]

No.

Swedish alphabet has 28 letters.
