What I Ate Today

Quote: Evenbob

You must be joking again. Look up egg foo young recipes on YouTube every single one will involve gravy. The gravy is the most important part of the dish every restaurant I've ever had it in comes with gravy. Here's a video selected at random and it has gravy. I can't imagine egg foo young without it.

I rarely eat in Chinese restaurants and never ate foo yung there. I've had many foo yungs from various takeaways and NONE of them ever came with any kind of gravy. About half were properly deep fried. The other half were knocked up in a wok and delivered 'broken'.

Do you like British Style Indian food? Curries? Dhal? Balti's?, Tikka? Biriani?

Never eaten Indian food, not a big fan of curry.

I have never seen fooyung with gravy in Canada.

Yet Canada's main dish that you can get everywhere is heart seizing fat balls and fries swimming in gravy. But no gravy for the egg foo young.

Poutine is a Quebec dish and not widely available in western Canada. I wouldn't call it Canada's main dish.

Your basic vegetarian omelette with about 10 different things in it.

It seems like it is. It's an every food video I watch from Canada. It is even at the Minnesota State Fair which considers itself part of Canada.

Potato Champion, a Stumptown food cart on SE Hawthorne near 13th serves up a very tasty poutine.

The guy who operates it basically sells french fries: nothing but fries and poutine (fries, curd, gravy).

Tasty sauces: worth seeking out.

He did his homework before opening his business: inter alia he went to Belgium and seriously looked into how they do it; now he does it their way.

Yum.

Heart-stopping food. Literally, it will stop your heart.
Nothing but fat, carbohydrate, and saturated fat in the
curd fat balls. From my understanding some Canadians
eat this crap everyday. YouTube guy that I follow who
eats in fast food restaurants in Canada. Almost every
one of them has this poutine crap. And he always orders
it smacking his lips and going yum yum. I've had gravy
and fries before, you can feel your blood getting thick.

Whatever, they like it and so far as I can tell it doesn't hurt 'em.

Maybe that fat helps keep them insulated from the bitter cold, eh?

Anyone that goes to London and doesn't try the Indian food is missing out.
