When poutine first started in Quebec, it was ridiculed across the board. Today it is deemed the<\/strong> national Canadian dish.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A new food dish or product can be rejected before becoming overwhelmingly adopted.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Considering the vast diversity, quality and uniqueness of Quebec’s homegrown food products, a new star could emerge anytime.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With the summer season about to begin, now is the right time to have fun discovering them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As an example, we recently came across a sample tasting of a new mineral water … with cucumber and herbs flavour!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, that’s right: cucumber flavour! <\/span>And it’s very good!<\/span><\/p>\n

The mineral water is marketed by Saint-Eustache based Fineau <\/strong><\/a>(meaning fine water in French).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Tapped from the Saint-Justin spring in Maskinong\u00e9 county, it is a natural mineral water to which, of course, carbon dioxide has been added, with natural flavors of cucumber, lemon, coriander and thyme.<\/span><\/p>\n

As of now, the product is already offered in more than 200 points of sale, namely specialized grocery stores, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and hotels.<\/span><\/p>\n

We only saw one convenience store on the list, the Voisin Extra convenience store in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville<\/strong><\/a>. <\/span>Congratulations to him!<\/span><\/p>\n

We would expect to find many more than that.<\/p>\n

If you would like to taste this surprising water, the company offers sample tastings all summer in its points of sale. You can find the sample schedule by clicking here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, you may want to try this delicious recipe of “mocktail” (a cocktail without alcohol) with water Fineau<\/strong> <\/a>called Le Finfineau<\/strong> (meaning : a smart person).<\/span><\/p>\n
