Is living in rural Quebec as depressing as living in rural Vermont?

>>18746790

J'ai souvent honte d'la poutine.
C'est bs.

don't you have a sushi shop or thai zone around? even small towns have chinese massage parlours now, so i figure the thai/viet/chinese hole in the wall are coming.

seriously, even when I lived in Sherbrooke, i found the food options a little disapointing coming from cote-des-neiges in montreal. at least it was affordable.
i agree with you that there is a hole to be filled.
thinking of it, opening an haitian casse croute in these parts could be a nice idea.
they serve roast chicken which is a must in quebec and the flavours are pretty good on a january night. also porc in regions is pretty cheap and the flavours are not too different from quebec food.

aussi, also, my parents live in one of the extremeties of laval and all they have on uber/doordash is 3 oldschool greek pizza joints, 2 st-hubert and a viet place. and it's a neighboorhood of 40K+

>>18746785
Sounds like a business opportunity

>city amenities in a tiny town
tabarnak

>>18746904

>>18746785
Arent you guys getting invaded by Chinese? There has to be some good Chinese places.

>>18746904
lol non

>>18746785
do canadians really?

>>18746932
Not him but Chinese food really sucks here and is the same fast food level.

>>18746932
The Chinese keep out of Québec because they don't speak french.

Rural Quebec at least has good selection of groceries and beer.
The Prairies and many parts of rural Ontario are worse in all regards.

>>18746785
rural towns can have good Poutine. Not sure if was meant tho be a Poutine thread...

>>18746785
>Go onto a cooking board complaining about fast food everywhere
>Can't even do basic cooking
Do canadian's really?

The lockdown certainly didn't help. I moved to Longueuil in 2018, my hometown of <10k people had maybe 6-8 restaurants at the time. Most of them closed during the pandemic, or burned down in a totally not suspicious manner.

I like my province enough, but there's a lot to find depressing: the lower standards of livings, the sprawling middle-class suburbs that only seem to become more homogenized and soulless as the years go by. An ever-present inferiority complex that perpetuates into the average quebecker's subconscious, which paradoxically manifest itself as smugness and condescension towards non "pure laines". The anglos and francos both believing that the other hates their guts so they have to hate them in return. It's all so tiring.
As for Vermont idk what's not to like, we have pretty similar geography, which I personally find very pretty imo.

>>18746932
The Chinese occupy parts of the GTA in Ontario and Vancouver. Great food where they concentrate, but they have minimal presence outside those regions.

Isn't Quebec French? How the fuck do you guys not have a good selection of food there?

>>18747285
Believe it or not, but among the things we were importing from France back in the fur trading days, French culinary schools weren't one of them.

>>18747163
Based french keeping canada canada

>>18747163
yikes too late bud
>c'est trop tard mon ami
chinese don't give a fuck about your language
>les chinois s'en calisse de ton language
there are chinese massage parlors in all the major cities and they started their real estate aquisitions in sherby and qc for a while now

>>18747285
rural quebec is hardcore
it was not so long ago that they we're giving oranges as christmas presents because it was rare

>>18747443

Yeah I heard about that. That's really sad

>>18747285
it’s the retarded version of french, quebec is a shithole province

>>18747509
so rude

>>18746785
Ça explique pourquoi le monde en banlieue haïssent tant Montréal. Tellement de jalousie en eux.

>>18747509
>retarded version of french
Not untrue in some parts, our cuisine was made to survive long winters moreso than taste good
>a shithole province
Canada wouldnt be worth shit without our culture and we are one of the topmost contributors of science in the world

>>18747521
À parler a des gens de regions en effet les restos c'est pas mal ca qui manque en dehors de Montreal, sinon ca ils ont trop peur des negres pour demenager ici

i like tourtiere and im american. probably going to make it this weekend

maybe learn to cook, just a thought

Quebec is the only good part of Canada. Anyone crying about it, especially the rural parts is a soulless husk

>>18746785
Open your own restaurant. Be the change you want to see.

What town? Some bits of rural Quebec are absolutely pleasant. No "minorities", no weird trans shit, no woke angloids, cozy sugar shacks..

>>18748692
Unfortunately these places are getting rare every year because the government just loves importing batches of shitskins and dropping them in some village.

>>18747521
>>18747983
Montreal is like a microcosm of shittyness and it's inhabitants are somehow smug about it.

>>18749892
>le city bad
Like it or not by virtue of being a big ethnically diverse city Montreal has better food than anywhere else in Quebec. The only thing the ROQ excels at is poutine, sugar shacks and maybe seafood in the Gaspésie

>>18750212
oh yeah I sure enjoy having nearby
>5 shitty pizza chains that somehow take 40m to deliver even though they're within walking distance
>3 chinese places that totally aren't fronts for money laundering
>a mediocre dinner frequented by the same dozen old white people for the past 3 decades
>various shady ethnic place you're not quite sure what is but you suspect they're involved in sex trafficking
>overpriced downtown restaurants with no parking that try to pretend they're a fancy place
>tim hortons
I just love walking there while avoid the streets with niggers and druggies, and also taking twice as long as expected because half the streets are permanently under repairs and the other half isn't designed for pedestrians.

>>18747185
Poutine my balls in your mouth

>>18746785
lemme guess, Magog?
