Poutine is wonderful heart-attack food. The part of New Hampshire I live in is close enough to the Canadian border that it's in what you might call the Poutine Zone -- go another two small towns south along Route 3, and you're out of it -- so I don't have to go to Montreal to get my fix.

Montreal is full of wonderful food, though; if you haven't been already, next time you're there check out Juliette et Chocolat. They specialize in hot chocolate, but not as Nestle's Instant or Swiss Miss know it.
