By Hunky -dorey I hope you're not making an off-handed reference to my Eastern European / Ukranian heritage (i.e. bohunk, or hunky) in a derogatory manner?  If so, I challenge you to a duel. If not, NEVER MIND.  

You see, in North American English, most words have at least three meanings depending on context, gramatical usage or inflection...

...it's a rather complex and subtle language, difficult to devine written / spoken meanings, so sometimes, when we are making a joke, some take offense.

Hate to bring it back to this, but hey.. if Hitler had won WWII we certainly wouldn't be having this discussion..

If I follow the logic is what your saying that if the Germans vice the English had defeated the French on the Plains of Abraham there would be no poutine and we would all be eating fries with sauerkraut?

I believe the Dutch/Belgians invented "French" Fries, which are also known as Belgian Fries... and Europeans (Dutch Fry shops being amongst the best, most diverse, including mayonaise and probably sauerkraut) serving fries in cheese all sorts of concoctions.  So I wonder if that can't truly be claimed as a Canadian invention.... just the popular name for it.

It's all tied together because North Americans liberating the Dutch in WWII thought they were in France, and so they called the Fries "French" - or so the popular theory goes.

Seriously, raw milk cheese, is that still outlawed in ONTARIO ? Be honest, I can take it.

Please, can one of our Ontario chapter MAACA members (preferably Terry) be so kind as to tell us, in all honesty if they are allowed to sell raw milk cheese in Ontario these days.

And if it is against the law of the land, what is the penalty. I have been waiting for someone to tell me the truth about this since last night. It may actually help me decide if I should make the move across this great and vital  "cheesy" divide.

We have cheese curds here, but they're not quite the same.  Your "cheese curds" up in the QC are the best for poutine for sure.. nice and salty.

Yes, but dude, this does not clear up the vital question,  - Can you get busted in Ontario for selling the smelly fermenting cheese that the french ( and myself, I admit) in general seem to prefer ?

That I have no idea on, sorry.

Although I did see some at the Ottawa gas stations while I was there.

Damn ! That may have been a fluke, Ottawa is known for those. Where is Terry when we need him most, he would clear all this up in the time it takes to say "poutine & beer".
