Wow that’s a lot of salt and fat and carbohydrates.
This blog post is kinda stupid. Here we have a food item at a chain that has the word “cactus” in it, so here I am posting it. I don’t even know anything about it. This is ridiculous. let me go find out at least what this food item is. Follow me on this journey of discovery after the break…
OK, so what did we find? Here’s the Boston Pizza website. Big splash page.
Here’s a map of their locations.
Aha, I see the problem. They’re Canadian.
OK, but what about the food item?
CACTUS CUT POTATOES
A BP original. Thin and spicy fried potatoes with a
bite. Served with our signature cactus dip blended
with crushed chilies, green onion, sour cream and
parmesan. $9.25
BOSTON’S POUTINE
A Canadian classic! Golden fries smothered with
delicious gravy and mounds of cheese curds. $7.95
Really, that’s what poutine is? Our Canadian relative Steve has named his puppy Poutine, and now we know why.
Anyway, now we know what Cactus Cuts with Cactus Dip is. Now if only we knew what Canadian “boston-style” pizza was.
