To be honest, I expect this to be quite delicious. I've had something similar in Hong Kong at a place called "Seoul Brothers" which serves a Korean/Vietnamese fusion banh mi. If you go to Korea though, they have a ton of different things that mix kimchi and cheese. I've tried a traditional rice cake dish, chicken wings, fried chicken, and even a ramen that have combined the two. I never thought of it as unusual before because I've seen it so much. Oh yeah... and kimchi on pizza!

Of course, I've been living in Asia for the past several years so I've seen "milk top" boba tea evolve into "cream top" followed by "cheese top" (which is like a liquid cream cheese), to "salted cheese top" which is all the rage right now.

Sorry, tells you what I know. I googled Australian Barbie to check if the spelling of Barbie was the same as the doll, and the first food result was for shrimp.

I'm assuming they are the same food served at the Canada House in South Korea during the winter Olympics

Wisconsin cheese curd is made with pasteurized milk, and it definitely makes perfectly good poutine. Given the lack of aging or other processing that goes into making curd, it seems like using raw milk would be a good way to get sued and/or recalled even if it were legal.

Flanders and the Netherlands make huge amounts of "young" cheese, but I can't find curd here to save my life. I think it's more a cultural thing than anything else--the processors only make curd in places where they know people will buy it, because it doesn't store or ship well. Every trip back home raises my cholesterol significantly, I think.

The milk is pasteurized here in Quebec too. Here is an example from a well known producer:

Does the Denver poutinerie feature the same menu as the popup London poutinerie of last year? And where do we anticipate the next week-long curd invasion to occur? I just like saying poutinerie.

Air Canada will also be giving away two roundtrip tickets to anywhere in the world every day.

For one week this November, airplane food will be served in Dupont Circle in the form of thick-cut fries covered in cheese curds and gravy. Popville reports that a Poutinerie by Air Canada has set up shop on the Connecticut Avenue side of the Service Employees International Union building for a limited run from November 9-15.

Where can I buy the banana bread? How about that Y snack for westbound TATL?

Or if we are talking about fine dinning, how about hockey puck steak? Steak soup?

I also want to try all the AC SPMLs.
