I had a great time! Excellent idea, Bertrand! It was so nice talking to you. Sky, you're my orange chocolate fairy! If you don't see me for a while it's because I've died and gone to heaven, c'est tellement bon!
Beautiful weather, good people and chocolate, a perfect mix.

I've waited patiently , and finally found a local high quality supply, much like several years after I arrived, the Swiss chip market expanded to include salt and vinegar flavour! |

I might have added that all I need now is really good poutine like I used to buy from the blue truck in front of Toronto City Hall, and then I would tear up my passport. But that would be off-topic  |

Ok I can't send you the poutine, but I can send you a poutine mix package from St-Hubert Restaurant. For the cheese, I think you can find something that can make it for the squeek squeek one we have back home! Here I use the Helim Peynir you find in a Turkish Grocery store.
If you want the sauce, send me your address via PM. | | This user would like to thank Nil for this useful post: | |
