poutine vs taco bell

Prime just swore on his first borne that there would be a trip to Canada for authentic poutine during Epic. Let it be known.

taco bell is OK

The next day edit: Prime did no such thing, he only said that perhaps at a future Icrontic event there would be a trip if there was enough interest.

    A good reason to get my passport un-expired.
  • trooster89trooster89 Are you from London? Icrontian
    lol yeah i think its more money to renew if its expired

    Certainly is, but mine was previously just under the <16 limit (some weird rule about relative age to when you got the passport originally). No biggie, good to have around for other shits.

    Not Windsor. London. It's a 2 hour drive.

    I don't know if it will be Expo, because taking 4 hours out of Expo is a Big Deal™.... but during an IC event soon, yes. Maybe an early arrival bonus for Tuesday Expo attendees, or maybe during ICSP. Not sure yet, but this will happen.

    Yes, everyone get your passports in order.

    Meh, too far, not worth it.

    My favorite poutine is still the crappy stuff from the bar down from @Thrax 's place; brown gravy and nacho cheese. Perfect.

    I have to say, the Disco Fries at Vinsetta Garage in Berkley are pretty close to legit. The curds were squeaky.

    I wasn't nearly as impressed by the poutine at Green Dot Stables, alas.

    Smoke's Poutinerie was a very nice stop for me on my last trip to Toronto, though.

    It ain't poutine, but it sure is mighty tasty.

    ICSP or bust. You know Expo ain't got time for dis shit. It's gotta be early ICSP.

    Also, Taco Bell still wins. No matter how much booze. It's taco bell. Poutine is a poor replacement for Taco Belle.

    AMERICAN Taco Bell, that is. Not Taco Bell in Canada. That's a joke.

    It's about the total sum of the experience. Going to Canada to a legit poutinerie is a Delightful Experience™ :) If you feel it's too far or not worth the trip or whatever, that's fine, just don't go :D

    I enjoyed the trip to Winsor for Motor Burger. The look on the border guard when we said we were crossing the border to get a hamburger was priceless, you'd think we killed his puppy or something. I would definitely be up for another Motor Burger trip.

    Maybe it could be a cook-off: Make some at ICHQ while a party treks through to Canada. Compare notes after.

    I'd say try making it in the car on the way there, but that could be disastrous and the equipment could look suspect at the border.

    I need to find out if I'm eligible for a short trip to Canada during one of my stays.

    This is the first time I've ever heard of Poutine. I would have asked what it was, but then I remembered google. Then I didn't look it up, because I remembered lazy.

    You must learn the ways of "select text with mouse, right-click, search"
  • I think every time "Taco Bell" is used in a post on Icrontic, Vanilla should automatically @UPSLynx the post in question.

    @Primesuspect if you want good Poutine in London. I'll show you where to go :)

    p.s. Windsor isn't two hours from London. More like an hour and a bit
  • primesuspectprimesuspect Beepin n' Boopin Detroit, MI Icrontian
    Detroit > London is about two hours when you factor in border crossings and everything
  • MrTRiotMrTRiot Northern Ontario Icrontian
    That is true. If you guys come up this way definitely let me know
