They expect competitors to eat 7 pounds of the stuff. Imagine trying to eat that molten mess quickly - it holds the heat better than a lasagna! People will be hospitalized with burnt mouths.
"Smolkin, whose mobile poutine truck will, starting this week, serve at all Toronto FC games at BMO Field, considers the deal to host the competition “more of a Canadian thing than a Toronto thing” — so doesn’t think Quebec should feel miffed."
I don't know about the other 6,999,999 Quebecers, but I am personally "miffed". And we all know what happens when Quebecers get "miffed" about things :p: ...
But really, a few classmates and I decided to split two of these sandwiches after class this morning. One grilled and one fried.
The fried sandwich, OK, nothing to write home about. Medicine-y tasting, IMHO.
The grilled sandwich, YUCK! Absolutely disgusting. Wet, messy, tastes like melted plastic. No one finished their quarter.
Given that we paid $4.99 per sandwich (no combo), it's nothing I'm in a hurry to try again.
