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.
But there’s something to be said about a restaurant that has enough guts to make fun of their not-so-choix-santé menu…
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!
