One Quebec restaurant is making a statement about Russia's war in Ukraine by taking the word "poutine" off its menu.
Le Roy Jucep in Drummondville swapped out the popular Canadian dish's name, which bears a similar name to Russian President Vladimir Putin, with the words "la frite fromage sauce," or "fries cheese gravy."
“This evening, the Jucep team has chosen to temporarily remove the word ‘p**tine’ from its trademark in order to express, in its own way, its deep dismay at the situation in Ukraine,” the restaurant wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post on Friday, as reported by the MTL blog.
The restaurant has trademarked itself as "the inventor of poutine" and prides itself on its secret recipe.
"Very touching to learn that our tiny message of support has made it from Drummondville to Ukraine!" the restaurant wrote on Facebook on Saturday, as word spread of its change.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has repeatedly condemned Russia's actions, writing that the invasion is a "clear further violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity."
The dish in question typically comprises french fries and cheese curds topped with brown gravy and originated in the Quebec region.

The list of vile and disgusting foods coming out of Quebec is long.
I’m sure that this will leave a mark.
Name them pussy fries, it fits.
That’s it…the wars over
I'm certain "poutine" is shaking in his boots knowing the big boys are bringing their A game.
Take that Putin
Meaningless and idiotic.
A cheap attempt at free advertisement I suspect.
I understand that restaurant served niggardly portions anyway.
and high in salt.
There is no connection between the two. This action is stupid, but it being taken because a lot of stupid people think that the food is named after the Russian president.
Feel good hysteria.
See how retarded the media controlled lemmings are?
Who knew we’d ever see Freedom Fries again? What a country!
I wonder what new moniker they will attach to it?
Soggy cheesy bits?
Ruex brei fritters Francé?
"In Russia, we don't eat that part of the dog."
Publicity stunt. Shameful.
Maybe in food, but the Left has come up with things much more stupid, like not knowing which bathroom to use AND demanding everyone reshape their lives for the crazy and nitwits who can’t.
Poutine is pretty good, not disgusting, I ate it with gusto.
