Hot chicken sandwich and Poutine

Well this is it, my last packet of StHubert Bar-B-Q sauce, I used it this Sunday to treat my daughter and her children to Poutine and a hot chicken sandwich. I was introduced to this culinary delight by a friend of mine some time ago. She used to send me red cross parcels of this sauce because you can't get it in this country. Notice how the writing on the packet is in two languages, French and English, also notice how the French version always comes first and the type set is bigger, sometimes only minutely bigger but always bigger. Its the same with the instructions on the back, this kind of thinking applies to all things in Quebec be they road signs, shop signs any kind of written information really, and who betide you if you transgress, hefty fines are handed out to anyone not conforming to this policy. But thats frogs for you, always trying to force themselves on people, Algeria, French Indo china, all the way across Africa, they are almost as bad as the English for that.

Still they do make a great Bar-B-Q sauce, the best actually, I have tried to find something comparable in this country and I have to say I have failed. There are sauces out there that although not as good as StHubert are very tasty and enjoyable, but so far nothing has come close. And so the last packet along with a really tender chicken was consumed with a very dry hoc and as the weekend was a scorcher we enjoyed all al fresco.

You have to try Poutine, French Canadians eat it like we eat fish and chips, all you need is a plate of chips or wedges, with cheese curd on top (Try to get Frommage Beaucronne) then pour the sauce over all. Its delicious. Hot chicken sandwich is just as mouth watering and although I think I have the recipe wrong, its still close, for this you need roasted chicken, breast is best, between two rounds of very lightly toasted crunchy bread and pour the sauce over it. It seems strange eating a sandwich with a knife and fork but unless you want sticky fingers you have to. Try it, you will want to shake my hand.

Mmm.. I agree, St-Hubert makes the best sauces.

All that's missing from your Hot Chicken receipe are the green peas, which should be added after the sauce, on top of the sandwich.

I'm confused... you're in Manchester right? Not Quebec? Or did you grow up in Mnachester and now live in Quebec? Or...

Anyway, the French always appearing first on all packaging always irritates me. Not when I'm in Quebec, but when I live in Ontario!! Where we speak English It really irritates me. I am always turning the packages, bottles, tins, you name it, around in my cupboard so that the English facing side is first.

But Poutine and fries.. yummy.
