Heh. I remember when I first got my Costco membership, I figured those super-cheap and tasty rotisserie chickens would be a nice bonus of the membership.

Though after, on multiple occasions, having multiple days of violent, foul liquid diarrhea after visiting Costco, I put the pieces together and discovered that a minority of the population reacts that way to one of the preservatives they use with their chickens (Carrageenan), and I am one of those lucky few.

So wouldn’t mind at all if they got forced to stop using it. Though they’ll probably just slap on a warning label instead.

[Kritter]

Are they essentially ranking the 'poutine' #65?
Other than kick ass delis, what else can you associate Montreal with as far as cuisine?

From 18,828 cities in our database, based on 590,228 valid food ratings for 18,912 foods in our database, these 100 cities stand out with the highest average ratings for the regional and national dishes most commonly served there.

This is their methodology. Can't argue with that tbh.

Italia >>>>

 

[zeke]

Ah so toronto probably gets dinged for not having any 'regional dishes'.

 

[MindzEye]

Explain no mexico city though...

Bullshit list

 

[zeke]

i mean they have all mexican food as a regional dish.

that's because you wops need to learn to appreciate flavour beyond tomatoes and a pinch of dirt from nonna's garden

Toronto's regional dish: in Greek Town they give you rice and potatoes with your meal.
