To Do:

[cherry]

Walk into a restaurant in the States with a friend. Ask for a plate of poutine with a couple of serviettes, and pitcher of iced tea. Request a bag of dill pickle chips, and one of salt and vinegar, to munch on while we eat. Watch the expression on the poor waitress's face.

I've known for a while that poutine wasn't common in the States, and that if you asked for an iced tea, you were likely to actually get a cup of iced tea, but it wasn't until the other day that I was informed that they had no dill pickle chips. Or salt and vinegar. It seems to me that those would be two flavours of chips that would be hard to introduce to a new market, when I think on it. We're just used to them, but they're actually rather sharp.

And really? No poutine? You don't know what you're missing.

Great. Now I need poutine. ::G::

You ...odd? *laughs so hard she falls off the chair*

I've got another thing to add to my list of food to send to Americans now.
Lessee, Smarties, the little TimTam bars, Cadbury chocolate, Vegimite. *grins* Those poor things. They've got no *good* junk food at all. :)
