Being Russian, he might actually like it, as it's primarily potatoes. In
fact, if it were explained to him as Canada's pirozhki, he might actually
want to import it to Kievan Rus'. It'll be the cheese curds that will give
them the most problems. Has to be fresh of the day white cheddar curds.
Anything else is not a true poutine.

Now I don't think that he's ever been to Warwick in Québec (where poutine
trees grow by the wayside) but he will likely be a lot closer to it during
the 2010 G8 meeting will be in Huntsville Ontario (the town that saw the
rise of Shania Twain, née Eilleen Edwards) so the flavour of the day will
be "a little crossover C&W with that poutine, Mr. Poutine?"
