If you have no point of reference on hoe to make a great poutine, you can always go to the restaurant La Banquise. They serves probably the best authentic poutine in town. When you eat the cheese, it will make a squeek sound. Happy meal!

Nice. My hometown! Though I don’t go downtown anymore, so I didn’t see a Suburban with solar panels around. You can find cheese curds everywhere here, they’re on the counter of our dépanneurs (corner store). Also, it’s Mount Royal in English. Hope you’re having fun here. You picked a good week. It’s pretty hot for February. Edit:Noooo! I wanted to see how that Poutine was going to turn out!

try getting to Quebec city, the old part. it’s like going to Europe. when I was a kid we used to spend xmas at the Chateau Frontenac. it’s a very historical city.

I grew up in northern Maine and spent a lot of time in New Brunswick. Poutine has always been my favorite.

Thank you for gracing us with another lovely piece of content Arslan!

Beautiful scenic footage, Arslan! I'm from Louisiana, which has a strong Quebec connection. Canada also has a Scottish component. See if you can find it among the French cultural elements (language, food, kilts, plaid, names, etc.). Well done on the poutine. 💖

Totally agree about keeping language and customs alive. In Louisiana, the French language is dying out, but I’m hopeful the younger generation will learn it and keep it up….my great grandfather was a French speaker in Louisiana over 100 years ago…definitely have some Quebec cousins 😂 enjoy Canada!

I live in Montreal and in the West End of the island, you can speak English. Not many are bothered by it. When you get down the Mount Royal, you will hit a street named Queen Mary rd. Many streets in the area are named after British monarchs; Queen Mary, King Edward, Prince of Wales, etc.

Too cute when you speak French! 👍😀

Good afternoon Arslan nice to see a video from you ! I hope you enjoy your time in Canada. Stay safe my friend and take care 😊

Had to stop my morning routine when I saw your video pop up! I've tried poutine at fairs here in Maine and it is delicious! I've had o'Henry's and those are pretty good. The Bounty candy bar reminds me of Almond Joy. I've never been to Canada. It's on my bucket list!

I had a kindergarten teacher like that in Western North carolina! In like 1966 😅 her daughter worked for TWA so she got free tickets to go all over the world, and she would make us ask for more milk and things during snack time in French! I wound up taking a couple years of French and alnost 6 years of Spanish, partly bc of her. Everyone loved her in our town 😊❤ Also your story reminds me of a restaurant we used to have where I live, with older ladies who probably used to be school lunch ladies like some of my great aunts. At this restaurant, they would fuss at you if you didn't clean your plate! You could see the women cooking openly behind the counter, and the waitresses would say 'Miss so-and-so over there doesn't like it that you're not going to clean your plate. Bc she cooked that for you like you asked her to! You better eat all that! 😂

Hi friend so happy to see you have a video out! Missed ya!

I've met some really nice people from Montreal Canada at my hotel I work at. Some of the kindest people.

They have Skor and Oh Henry here in the USA! Skor is like a Heath bar. Oh Henry is an old fashioned bar here in the USA, that’s been around for years.

Smarties, Aero and Bounty have been around since at least the 1980’s. I used to eat them as a kid in Germany. Which is probably why you ate them in the Middle East as well. Generally, German sweets have 1/3 less sugar than American sweets. And I totally agree with you, Americans seem to think the sweeter the better. Which is why I don’t eat sweets anymore at all. Love Bounty, one of my favorites. If you can find Milka or Ritter Sport or Kinder or Lindt - those are great brands from Europe. P.S. that Aero, you have to let it melt in your mouth between tongue and gum, that’s when you feel the air bubbles pop.

Quebec makes some of the best cheese curds locally. You can find them in most gas stations in the fridge section, try some out next time you're there.

You are such a nice and creative and hard working guy. ❤️

Hi from Montreal, I hope you went to the Belvédère Kondiaronk for the view. Gouda or mozzarella for poutine is blasphemy, go find cheese curds available in any supermarket if you want to make poutine 😊. Careful, it's addictive! Best place to eat out poutine is "la banquise" and it's not that far from Mont Royal. Second great place to eat out is Schwartz's Deli, for the smoked meat sandwich. When do you plan to leave?
