Millsy yeah we’ve binned the Rakı operation and moved onto Gin. I’m off work until Monday due to an incoming 40 year snow storm so I’ll put a dent in the 10 litre jug. Or winning as Ed likes to call it.

Millsy

Nice to have a resi moonshiner on the board I have to say.

Smallman1

Liqui all sorts of winning!

Millsy

His Mrs is a Turkish, gin-making sort. Talk about landing in the butter!

This is getting a bit ‘sucky’ now mills, get a room or take to PM?

Smallman1

Living the dream!

jonattonyeah

Apparently some people are boycotting the Quebecan French fry dish Poutine because they think it’s Russian due to it sounding like Putin. Just blow us all up already.

hugopal

jonattonyeah just rename it Freedomtine

Quite right.

To be fair, I already boycott all Canadian food.

On the basis that’s it’s the only cuisine actually worse than British.

Millsy

We are basically complicit

Jake Tapper is such a worm. Watching people his sort do Elden Ring style backflips around the simple fact that Russia is a superpower, with its own interests, and the ability to peruse them, is so fucking boring.

Millsy

Mad_Cyril agreed. Thanks for pulling me back from the brink

Millsy
Hey, any time.

Maxim Maxim how are you guys doing, did you get out?

Maxim

NasserAlazzawi hello . doing not very well , I dont want to get out , this is my home. russians are bombing “military” infrastructure every day , so its becoming more difficult and dangerous to be here.

Introducing ‘suckiest’ as an adverb/adjective is Hugo’s greatest contribution to the board.

Admittedly, I don’t read any of his posts that are more than a sentence long though.

Smallman1 Had a quarter pounder (sans cheese) at Geneva airport recently and I have to say I enjoyed it immensely.

Cheers!

I absolutely guarantee that Smalls is the type of clueless berk who would use one of those touch-screen ordering systems in a fast food place to order a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and then remove the cheese in ‘options’, rather than just order a Quarter Pounder.

Millsy

bosstrabs absolutely. And every time he will cause a queue to form out the door. And every time he will get to the counter and receive a quarter pounder, with cheese.

jonattonyeah

bosstrabs

Can’t say I disagree. What else are they even known for? Poutine is whatever. Fries in gravy with cheese curds. Wow. Works after few pints, I guess, but that’s because it’s all salt and fat.

Montreal bagels are just shitty NYC bagels. Montreal beef is corned/salt beef but with less texture.

Between their cuisine and Loopdoktor, Poutine is bombing the wrong country.

bosstrabs

jonattonyeah You should hear the Canadians over here.

“Let’s go to Tim’s eh?” “Have you tried Tim’s eh?” “It’s great that Beijing now has a Tim’s eh?”

Went there and it was worse than Starbucks, which is some effort.

rhouses

bosstrabs @jonattonyeah One of the best Parts Unknown episodes with Bourdain is where he tours Quebec/Montreal with the two chef/owners from Joe Beef. Definitely want to do that circuit before I die.

Not to mention, Toronto is amazing with the diversity on offer.

rhouses

bosstrabs Also Tim’s is hardly a benchmark, it’s like a yank telling you “have you tried ihop/dennys?”

303abuser

bosstrabs no one with any self respect would go to tim hortons for anything. they were an ok franchise in the 80s and it went straight down hill after being bought out by americans. absolute toilet water for coffee.

bosstrabs So I’m not convinced that Canada does have much more to offer than Tim’s on the whole.

you’re not wrong, we’re a nation of shitty chain restaurants.
