The Ides of Starch

@palgarian Hawaiian pizza is also Canadian. Imagine all three together. Use your brain to picture it in your mind. Disgusting.

Both poutine and the ceasar are beloved Canadian classics, but together would make a very disgusting meal

#Montreal Food Tour: Day 6 My dear friend is an elder who lived in Montreal for many years and told me with gusto that if I went no where else while I was in town, I had to hit up Schwartz’s. I understand that it’s a tourist trap and there are other better places—like Smoke Meat Pete’s and Snowden Deli—but I wanted to go to Schwartz’s so I could send her some pictures and tell her all about it. I fully admit that I’m not the biggest fan of the pastrami/corned beef/brisket cuts of beef. I also don’t like sandwiches with that much meat on them but I wanted to try it just for the experience. The place was insanity at about 4 o’clock in the afternoon and I was seated right by the cash register close to the wall. I had a great vantage point to see how everything operated and it was like a well oiled machine. One of the best parts of watching the parade of customers was the fact that since it’s such tight quarters and because there’s so many people coming in, diners (even groups of 3 or 4) sat down with people they didn’t know and enjoyed these monster sandwiches with strangers. It felt very Montreal. I was told by my friend to get the smoked meat sandwich medium-fat with a small coleslaw and a pickle. I was also told to get it with a Coke but I don’t normally drink Coke so I got a Diet Coke instead (I know). The meat was incredibly flavoursome, tender, succulent, juicy, fatty—it really tasted good on the tongue but I found it very salty. The rye bread was soft with a bit of a chew, and one side of the bread was lightly slathered with mustard. The stand out for me was the coleslaw, which (again) reminded me of my dad. It was sour with super strong horseradish notes. It also had a lightly sweet finish. I loved it. The best part of the meal for me was easily the amazing coleslaw. When I told the cashier how good it was, she was like, “yeah, we’ve been making it the same way for 98 years.” I can see why. I was also told to order one of their jumbo deli pickles. Now, I normally really love pickles, but this type of pickle is not to my particular taste. It’s super, super, super garlicky. It’s also very sour, which I like in a dill pickle, but this was oppressively sour. I wasn’t ravenously hungry (obviously) when I went to Schwartz’s but I wasn’t full either—yet I still found it really difficult to eat more than about a quarter sandwich. I did eat quite a bit of the coleslaw and a few bites of the pickle, but I ended up not finishing the rest. If I had gone there with hubby, I would’ve split the sandwich with him. I think it still would’ve been a filling meal. The service was really, really, efficient. I had my sandwich within about 30 seconds of ordering. Fun fact: I had no idea that it’s owned by Céline Dion. Would I recommend Schwartz’s? Yes—if you like that type of meat and have a hearty appetite. I found that for the quality of the meat and accompaniments, the price is fairly reasonable. It felt like it was probably close to a 3/4 pound of sliced meat. It lives up to the hype, but wasn’t to my particular taste. It’s not something that I would go out of my way to get—even if it was a Snowden Deli, or a Lester’s, or a Dunn’s, or a Smoke Meat Pete’s. It’s just not my thing. Schwartz’s Deli: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 $$

@Carsondaoboys I can't deny that he's good at this, I just don't think people should be good at this.

@wortthewait @ADHDForReal You can shower in the morning and before going to bed.

@ShortsOnX1 Pikachu why did you give Ash hantavirus

Pikachu was so mad he hit ground pokemon with electric moves

@The_Chidimma "goth"

They dressed in goth and told their husbands to meet them for dinner 😂😂 the third guy likes it.

@CarrotFollower He could still meet old friends and new friends and even a bear though.

If Cleveland was in Canada he probably never would've met Joe and Peter and Quagmire

@Mill_Moron It's the census? We do this all the time?

Always enjoy the once-a-decade freakout about the census

@PanasonicDX4500 The boat is gone. It’s Poseidon’s problem now.

@NaubertLaura1 @DavidPattt It's not pumpkin juice, it's "squash" which is like, orange concentrate with lots of sugar you add to water. The AI just heard "squash" and went "pumpkin juice."

@DavidPattt What’s with the pumpkin juice?

@PhantomLady47 @DavidPattt It's shock therapy, basically. The idea is that they see someone else with extremely disordered eating to make them confront their own disordered eating. At the end of the week, they both get personalized diet plans, and come back a few months later having gained/lost.

@DavidPattt There should be a happy medium between the two. Lauren is eating far too much at each meal, and Shelby is not eating nearly enough.

@mmpadellan @atrupar In his defense, he thinks groceries is an "old fashioned" word, not a new one. Still doesn't make a lick of goddamn sense, but it is what it is.

@atrupar It's clear Todd Blanche is taking his cues from the guy who thinks you need ID to buy groceries, which he also believes is a new word. This regime runs on stupid.

Blanche: "There's a lot of things we can be doing, like voter ID. Every time you walk into a restaurant you have to show ID. How about you have to show your idea to vote? That's not anything that's crazy."

@Imposter_Edits @kenklippenstein I don't think he's the right person to talk to about next Tuesday.

@kenklippenstein I don't think that guy's the right person to talk to about the future of the democratic party.

@localwhalefan @DubiousCA Imagine if it were Vernors

@DubiousCA extra funny bc thats also literally the popular brand in the us its not like shanes into some niche ginger ale

I have to laugh a bit when fics by American make it a special point of ppl in Canada buying ‘the exact brand of ginger ale Shane likes’ My sibling in fandom, it’s Canada Dry. It’s literally the most ubiquitous brand here. “You knew I liked cola and you got me COCA COLA? Wow!!”

@cselley The correct move is to start in whatever terrible French you have, and they'll move to English. It doesn't matter if you -speak- French, it matters that you -tried.-

No one in Montreal gets annoyed if you speak English

@RealCheekybelle @ThatEricAlper No, it was one hockey stick at arm's length.

@emphabet @FormerCFTCGC @ordinarytings I hear a bunch of people are mailing spit!

@FormerCFTCGC @ordinarytings Can you mail blood? That's a biohazadd

Do those Sovereign Citizen guys live on a different internet to the rest of us where they watch videos of people totally owning judges and cops with their weird code words? Because where are they getting the idea that their schtick is gonna work?
