*sings* It's gotta be PFK, I like it like that!
At this point I should point out that I'm not in Quebec, but in Ontario, and this was the way my lunch was presented to me. However just in case you couldn't work out what the above picture was, here's the opposite side of the box:
It's been something of an education coming here, as even road signs in this English-speaking province are often repeated in French. I grew up in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne, so other languages and accents aren't alien to me, but there's a definite adjustment to the thinking needed on seeing a road sign and not being able to immediately decipher what it says, or seeing a well known trademark such as the one above and simultaneously recognising it and finding it very unfamiliar.
One day I hope to go to Nunavut, where they throw another language into this mix, Inuit!
Stu said that, on the Inuit stop sign, it looks like the b was sleeping, got up, then fell over :P
ReplyDeleteDoes the KFC taste different there? I had one friend who came here from Arizona and was shocked at the difference in the taste. Which reminds me, have you had Maccas fries? Do they taste different to you? They use different oil, and it makes such a change
Ha! It does, at that!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had the "original recipe" chicken yet (put in quotation marks for if the taste is different between the countries, they can't both be original!), but their version of the Zinger burger isn't really spicy at all. They have what we'd call the "Supercharged Zinger", the "Wicked Burger", but there's hardly any heat to it at all. I was quite disappointed. their Big Crunch burger isn't too different from when we've had the Tasty Crispy stuff though.
The KFC chips, however, are nothing like the ones we have in Australia. I kind of miss them now I can't have them. I haven't had Maccas since I've been here, though. I shall have to try it out in the name of Science sometime!
