Cam: "It's a French Canadian delicacy called poutine."
Jay: "It looks like vomit so I’m not 'poutine' it in my mouth."
Modern Family fans know Cam dances with his words, so the idea of calling poutine a 'delicacy' has no basis in reality, but fits Cam's personality perfectly.
As for Jay's reaction, I am surprised that when I show pictures of poutine, some people have a visceral reaction to the dish. I plead with them that it tastes better than it looks.
We talk about eating food because it tastes good, but this is a reminder that food is also about the eyes and the nose.
Of course, the writers might have used poutine because the word sounds like "putting." Still, this is more proof that the wonder of poutine is spreading throughout the United States.
Modern Family airs Wednesday nights on ABC in the United States and City TV in Canada.
