Spice level warning — Montreal Smoked Meat is not what I expected

I underestimated Montreal Smoked Meat. The sweet and savoury from maple description didn't prepare me for the reality. peameal bacon brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

poutine emerged from Quebec rural diners in the 1950s and became Canada's most internationally recognised dish. The an east coast seafood shack setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. Molson Canadian cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
