the hidden place and the other time

So the cafeteria I usually go to at work has only one station at which the offerings change on a daily basis. It's never anything I can eat, so I generally ignore it.

It's right next to the salad bar, though, and it has a cheerful guy working the station who's very into selling whatever they happen to be serving today. Usually, it's things like lasagna and chicken parmesan and stuff.

Today?

It was poutine.

[For those of you unacquainted, poutine is a Canadian thing. Steak fries topped with cheese curds, with brown gravy slathered over the top. I've never had it, largely because I fear dropping dead at the table.]

I am having difficulty deciding whether this is awesome or sad. I'm leaning towards sad, because the cheese curds didn't really look like cheese curds. Some sort of fresh cheese, yes, but cheese curds are yummy and this was not those. (It was in cubes, looked kind of like tofu.)

Note: You could get broccoli on the side. Just...in case you were still hungry? After the fries, cheese, and gravy? Or wanted to apologize to your digestive system and give it some fiber?
