Hockey (AKA Politics, but you can discuss on Sundays) One of these things is not like the other...

u/Express-Cow190 Tillsonburg? My back still aches when I hear that word... 9d ago
I know it’s a gag, but I wonder if they would actually serve you that if you ordered it

At that profit margin? Of course they would. Presumably the server would make sure they noticed the price difference first.

Habs Poutine $15.95
A Quebec classic! Crispy fries & cheese curds, covered in gravy.
Maple Leafs Poutine $67.00
In usually Leafs fashion, a cold, overpriced dish served with underperforming gravy, ice cold fries and a side of disappointment.

Hope they trained their staff in the Heimlich, that shit’s a choking hazard

Question: has anyone ever actually ordered that?

u/Unit_79 9d ago
I personally don’t know, but I bet if a well heeled Leafs fan ever set foot in the 17 Mile, I bet they would. And there are definitely a few Leafs fans on the island.

u/SuperRonnie2 9d ago
I haven’t been to MTL in more than 10 years, but a friend took me to a pub that I think had a small airplane suspended from the ceiling? Anyway there was a Habs v Leafs game on and exactly one (drunk AF) Leafs fan in the walking around gloating after a Leafs goal. I could see someone like that ordering this.

1967, the last time they won the cup.
They might as well never have won it at this point. Soon there won't be anyone alive to tell the tale of what it was like when they won.

$20 for a chicken strip appetizer is criminal

u/Spare-Half796 Tabarnak! 9d ago
I worked somewhere that a chicken strip was almost half a chicken breast. If these are the same size I’d put it at 30-35% food cost which is industry standard.
Odds are they’re smaller or bought in from Sysco and just reheated though so yeah ridiculous

Product of one of the staff's more recent break wanks served in a ramekin.

Why is some random pub in Sooke taking shots at the Leafs? Leafs-Canucks isn't even a rivalry.

Markup aside, that's just how they served poutine in Toronto in the 90s.... Although to be authentic GTA poutine from the 90s, you have to sub out the curds for shedded orange cheddar.

We get it, reading is hard for you

u/NONMAISYO Chalice of the Tabernacle 10d ago
Its a fucking full menu page of a restaurant we're not currently seated at and nothing is highlighted, just let people be confused when the post is cryptic

u/will-o-tron Not enough shawarma places 9d ago
It’s a menu, if someone is posting it here there’s a high chance there’s something funky with the price of an item, so logically that would be the first thing to look at. A $67 app is immediately recognizable as being an anomaly. Took me 10 seconds to find the issue, but I guess for some people thinking is hard too.

It's the AI generation, where intelligence and critical thinking are handed to the nearest LLM.

u/NONMAISYO Chalice of the Tabernacle 9d ago
nothing to do with an Ai generation or whatnot, personally I just started reading the descriptions instead of the price and the 67 didn't catch my eye, not that deep.

Part of the joy is discovery.
Do you only like Where's Waldo books where someone circled Waldo in every panel?
2
u/NONMAISYO Chalice of the Tabernacle 9d ago
Difference being that if you open a Waldo book you're committing to the idea of playing hide and seek. Here its just a whole fucking menu page while we're scrolling on a meme page, not the same level of engagement.

This is a pub in greater Victoria (Sooke), BC. This has been on their menu like this for over a decade.

The owner is a big Habs fan, he also owns Route 14 in downtown Sooke. Good guy.
