This is a very good social-documentary, John. It captures well the notion of the ubiquitous chip. All the best, Joe

Thanks, Joe.

A nice street candid John...........not a bad choice of food there!

Thanks, Keith. I'm on a low-sodium diet now, so the food is all taboo for me now.

I feel your pain John.........speaking as a recently diagnosed diabetic (Type 2), with high blood pressure.

Bland "Я" Us -- our diets, anyway.

I like this and I should know, as it's a Canadian institution, but I temporarily forget, what is poutine?

Poutine was originally a modest dish of chips, brown gravy, and cheese curds, Andy, which shrewd promotion has raised to the status of a national symbol. Quebec's marketing industry should get an award.

Superb capture!

Thanks, William.

Let me put in a vote for thin, crispy fries, salted just enuogh to want more, but not, hopefully, raise one's cholesterol (the bad kind, that is.) If I wants potatoes, I'll order potatoes. Reminds me - I must go scrounge dinner tonight, so I can go to McDonald's and get a quarter pounder with cheese, or Culvers and get a spicy crispy chicken sandwich with bigger, chunkier fries. Since the dog always gets the fries that fall out into the bottom of the takeout sack and get cold and soggy while I eat the others, she doesn't care where I go.

I had a good hamburger at Bob Evans' when I was in the States once, Bob. It might not have been to everyone's taste, though.

I see you are into health food. ;)

Alas, Esther I am now. Low-sodium diet. I think a small poutine has something like 1500 gm of sodium.

A very nice candid, John !

Thanks, Ulrich.

Still a favourite over here -but maybe not so chunky. But salt n vinegar a must! Ketchup has never really caught on in these take-aways except by our under 21's. Never tried Poutine. An interesting candid capture here. Well done John.

Regards. Herb

Thanks, Herb. I must admit that I spent most of my life in Toronto and have never eaten poutine;. you don't see it outside tourist areas in Toronto. I like all the ingredients, though. Just never got round to the combination. Ketchup is popular here, but chip wagons seem always to have malt vinegar, as do fish restaurants.

A beautiful image

Thanks, Annemarie.

You are making me hungry. I could massacre a good poutine, haven't had one for a while.
