Stagger out of Rhea's, hit Bubbas, grab a mess of poutine, and head home. It's not quite as good as walking (or wobbling) home to Clayton from Accy munching on fish and six

... but it comes pretty goddamn close

And it does come from Quebec: Vive le Quebec, vive la belle province

Oh, and the Montreal Candiens too.

Fish and six, Eric? Now that is going back a bit - but I can remember that you could get fourpennorth of chips too... nowadays it's more likely to cost about 1.50 for the chips and the portions are usually huge - don't know why though.

My Grand-dad told me that when he was courting my Grandma they used to get a pennorth of "bits" which were all the bits of batter and chips left over. Sometimes if they were lucky there were bits of fish too!

Know what you mean about portion size -I can't eat a full portion of fish'n'chips these days -way too much!

Over here "English Style Fish and Chips" can bankrupt you. You want cheap food, you eat Donuts.
