Putting aside the potential symbolism of a truck with Singh's name and picture losing it's wheel, what a very, very strange photo op to set up.  Apparently the plan was for Singh to hand out "Punjabi Poutine" to people in Montreal prior to the debate tonight.

That sounds delicious - I assume a version of poutine with curry sauce exists?

The photo-op reminds me of the time Labour launched their posters/message for the last week of their campaign and there was a literal car-crash

Here's the recipe:

It's not exactly "poutine" - rather you do make a curry sauce, oven roast some sweet potatoes then add to the curry sauce, then add the cheese curds and serve.  But then again making french fries at home is a PITA so this sounds like a more accessible way to go.

I'm confident it would be delicious though.

[Sheilbh]

My first instinct is no - but I will be trying that recipe

I want chips with a curry sauce and cheese curds - or maybe paneer fries - like halloumi fries?

Edit: I should say for context that there is a standard curry sauce you can get in every fish and chip shop in the country which goes amazingly with chips - and I'm imagining that in particular

Edit: oh no - I really want a curry takeaway for dinner now

No way.

This is what you need to make fries at home.

The only thing that bothers me about Trudeau is that he called an election now, two years ahead of schedule .He thought he could grab that majority. I've always been a fan of kharma. And for that reason alone I may vote NDP. (I've gone back and forth between Liberals and NDP all my voting life (except my first election when I turned 18 and voted Communist)).

But although I am not partisan in this election, I certainly don't want the Conservatives to win, I'm not irrational after all, and so I may have to vote Liberals. My riding tends to have some close battles between the Liberals and either the NDP or Liberals. So once election gets close I'll check the local polls and vote ABC.

Both of you are crazy.  There's too many limited-use kitchen appliances already, and each one I have breaks my heart. 

Oven.  Baking sheet.  Frozen fries packaged by a good, reputable Canadian firm.  That's all you need.

To be clear - I do not have a home deep-fryer because of the reason you stated - too many limited use appliances already.  And the ones I already have (like a chopper, blender, rice cooker, or Instant Pot) I use more often than I would a home fryer.

But you're fooling yourself if oven fries are anywhere near as good as actually deep-fried fries.  In particular in a poutine.


And McCain's?  All you're getting are frozen potatoes.  Just get something generic.  I'll often buy name-brand food products, but not for frozen fries.

People without fryers are insane. They have more range than a rice cooker, ffs. Get one. Make awesome fish & chips.

Also McCain is the only brand not to use Soy oil when pre-cooking their fries. A god send for my family.

I can't speak to the range of fryers, but rice cookers have a massive range of applications depending on your diet.

I saw a twitter thread (by some rando) bemoaning that abortion rights are at risk in Canada and how important it is not to elect the Conservatives.

This when O'toole openly describes himself as being pro-choice.  When the party platform says nothing about abortion.  Where the party platform explicitly promises not to regulate abortion.  Where, under Harper's majority, they passed no laws about abortion.

So please tell me what threat the Conservatives are to abortion rights in Canada?

A rice maker does one thing, but it does it very well.  I'm sure we have rice about once a week - certainly a lot more often than we would have fish and chips..  Not to mention which one is healthier for you.

Besides if you really want to fry something you just get out a big pot and some oil.


And if health reasons makes McCain's the better option for your family then by all means buy McCains .

Their are 96 forced birth MP in the CPC caucus. That's the threat.
