Un choix santé (#384)

6 January 2012 by OffQc

Valentine is a fast food restaurant in Quebec with a menu that may make your stomach boil over before you even have the chance to say Pepto-Bismol au goût rafraîchissant de thé des bois.

A few things from their menu:

le hot-dog Michigan
le hot-dog Valentino

la poutine extrême
la poutine italienne
le très hot chicken
le burger de poulet
deux pogos

… and other succulent svelte-waistline-eliminating choices.

The other day, I ate lunch in a food zone at a shopping centre. I could see the restaurant Valentine just across from my table. On a computer screen, they showed images of their menu and other promotional stuff.

At one point, this image came on the screen:

That’s when I thought, come on, they’re not going to play the choix santé thing will all that stuff on their menu, are they?

I mean, they offer pogos.

Can anything pogo be called a “healthy choice”? (Or even “food”?)

But then the image turned into this one:

Their food options may not be recommendable for people who care about things like, I don’t know, their health.

    Great post! When I was in Québec, I just had to try poutine. Someone suggested a “bébé” size which was just about right for a wanna-be vegetarian! If you are ever in Texas, try a Frito pie. It has a meat sauce and cheese on a base of Frito chips.

    Bonne année et bonne santé!
