eh

Originally from Dublin, Ireland. Moved to London and then Leeds, England, I now live in Toronto, Canada. Oh and now back again. Anyway, you can take the woman out of Ireland but, you know the rest. Basically the stuff on here will be the same no matter where I am. Ramblings and rantings about stuff, some from Canada.Some of them really do say 'eh' ~~~~~ "ascertaining the comprehension, continued interest, agreement, etc., of the person or persons addressed"

We're not in Yorkshire anymore Toto

I had a yearning for some 'proper' chips, so we thought we would find said culinary delight down at the beaches. There was a vote recently to decide if this area is offically called the beach or the beaches, I'm not sure what the outcome was, but whatever, it's a great area of Toronto.
However, they don't know their chips, sorry.
Real chips should be thick cut, a light golden brown and soft and fluffy on the inside.
Not skinny. Not dark brown. So Not good.
These are fine for poutine, but calling them chips is just plain wrong, so the search continues.

Poutine, for the non-Canadians, is totally Canadian. It's french fries topped with gravy and cheese and is as messy as it sounds!

Still, we had a very nice walk along the boardwalk in the sunshine.

We have 'proper' chips in Halifax, but then it really doesn't get much more English in Canada than Halifax. And don't let those rubes from Victoria, British Columbia tell you any different. Bloody provincials..haha
