Our local dairy co-operative makes tons of fresh cheese curd every day and sells tons in 90gm to 50 kilo bags. It is what sophisticated Americans come here to experience. It is human food it is food to enjoy with people you love rather than people you want to impress. We came here for the ice cream and the strawberries but it is the poutine that brings the world and people like the Clintons. Poutine and the greatest symphony orchestras in world that highlights our summers.

I guess you don't understand food that feeds the soul. You people are snobs and have nothing worth being snobby about. Life is to be celebrated not condemned.

What a bunch of sickos. I just bough 5 kilos of local potatoes and they were more sugar than starch. My Chicago step daughter gloried in her knowledge of food and she knew her food but she believed the propaganda and I knew the Whole Foods Deli was about as knowledgeable about food as a starving dog. If you want the greatest food on the planet the Compton Farmer's Market on Thursdays is a good as food gets anywhere on the planet but the poutine is outside the park and the dairy is 15 km south. Try some artisanal cheese and smoked salmon and the best bread on the planet smothered in local butter. Try some local granolas and real apples. try the local butcher shop. It is local and it is good. It is sugaring off season and the food is a distant second to the sharing of love. Early this morning the egg farmer delivered three dozen fresh from the chickens eggs. The farmer loves his chickens he lets them die of old age but don't worry our farmers are not poor and our agricultural college are jammed to the rafters.

I love America it is a nation of peasants it is America's middle class that is barbaric. Here democracy is about the welfare of the family not the wealth and power of the corporations.

My wife was born at Vanderbilt Hospital and has a PHD and she married me and we are very very happy living with the riff raff they have integrity something America thinks is worthless. Strange the things that brings a Montreal autistic Jew to the South side of Chicago. What is wrong with you people are you so happy you want nothing to change? I am within days of my once a year poutine day then its back to the great food I eat everyday so I can look forward to next year's poutine day. I am thinking of fresh gravlax and fresh dill on creme fraiche on this year's poutine. Smoking salmon is big small business locally. I am waiting for the cannabis store to offer fresh specially smoked salmon on speciallly seasoned fresh Montreal style bagels. There is a master French croissant baker twenty minutes north and a local flour for every kind of bread. From nans to moo sho pancakes and teff.
