That's right. Big thanks to HowStuffWorks.com, the Canadian Encyclopedia, and Food & Wine Magazine. Yes, I love poutine. How about you? What's not to like? I don't. Of course I love poutine. I can't eat a lot of that kind of thing. Well, now, who can't? Because, you know, I'm trying to look, be healthier and look better. And poutine does not lend itself to that. You look both, by the way.

I appreciate that.

But in Canada, you got to eat some of that poutine. You definitely do. Whenever we visit Toronto, I'm always on that stuff. Aber einer der Gründe, warum wir so viel nicht essen können, ist, weil wir in den südwesten Vereinigten Staaten leben, wobei Poutine ursprünglich in Québec inventiert wurde, was in der Mitte des Winters sehr kalt werden kann.

Also macht es eigentlich viel Sinn, während dieser Zeit eine höhere Kalorien-Diät zu essen, wie ein Bär.

That's right. It popped up in the 1950s in the snack bars of rural Quebec and started gaining in popularity, kind of spread out from there. As we'll learn, it eventually started popping up in fast food menus in the 1980s, like McDonald's and Burger King and stuff like that in Quebec. And then eventually... over the border into Ontario. And nowadays you can find it all over the world.

Even though if you want, you know, if you want that OG, you got to get it somewhere in Quebec.
