Montreal treats

When we checked in to our hotel in Montreal, I suggested to Bill that we start "dropping the H bomb." Of course, he knew just what I meant -- not "Hydrogen," but "Honeymoon" -- and we did just that.

It paid off when the staff dropped chocolate covered strawberries off at our room later (as well as a card that apparently said "Best Warshes" -- ooookay.)


Mmmm!


Today we went to find the delicacy everyone recommends in Montreal: Poutine. (For non-Canadians, that's fries with gravy and cheese curds on top. Really. Read more about it here.)

We have never had poutine before and we looked online for the best in Montreal. There are many favorites, but the one that caught our interest is called Frites Alors! -- mostly because the name is funny.

It was really good. Even, surprisingly, to me.


Not sure I'd eat it all the time, but it was certainly a tasty treat. Also, a great way to kick off my claim that I am going to eat my way across Canada!

15 Canadian Points for eating poutine!

While in Quebec, you should try a "queue de castor" (beaver tail) = deep fried pastry with sugar or maple syrup or icing or other delicious thing goes on fried dough.

NOMNOMNOM!
