A Quebec restaurant that claims to have invented poutine has dropped the name of its most famous dish from some of its branding because the meal shares a name with Russia香蕉视频直播檚 president.

Drummondville, Que., diner Le Roy Jucep announced last week on Facebook it was temporarily removing the word 香蕉视频直播減outine香蕉视频直播� from some of its online branding to express its 香蕉视频直播渄eep dismay香蕉视频直播� over the Russian army香蕉视频直播檚 invasion of Ukraine.

香蕉视频直播淭herefore, as of now, we香蕉视频直播檙e the inventor of the fries cheese gravy,香蕉视频直播� the post read.

In French, Russian President Vladimir Putin香蕉视频直播檚 last name is written and pronounced 香蕉视频直播淧outine香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播� the same as Quebec香蕉视频直播檚 signature dish.

The restaurant has since deleted the post, but its Facebook page still describes it as the inventor of the 香蕉视频直播渇ries cheese gravy香蕉视频直播� rather than poutine.

While the move has drawn both positive and negative reactions online, the diner shared a video on its Facebook page of a woman in Ukraine who appeared on Radio-Canada and thanked the restaurant for the gesture.

香蕉视频直播淚f we were able to make someone smile over there, it香蕉视频直播檚 already a win!香蕉视频直播� the restaurant wrote on Facebook.

香蕉视频直播淲e are with you with all our hearts.香蕉视频直播�

The restaurant did not respond for a request for comment on Wednesday.

Poutine was invented in Quebec in the 1950s or 1960s, and the founder of Le Roy Jucep is among those who claim to have created the fast-food staple.

Sylvain Charlebois, director of Dalhousie University香蕉视频直播檚 agri-food analytics lab and author of the book 香蕉视频直播淧outine Nation,香蕉视频直播� said that while the word 香蕉视频直播減outine香蕉视频直播� originated in Warwick, Que., in the late 1950s, it was Jean-Paul Roy of Le Roy Jucep who first mixed gravy into the dish.

In an interview on Wednesday, Charlebois said it香蕉视频直播檚 unclear how poutine first got its name. One legend suggests it was a trucker who asked the restaurant to 香蕉视频直播減ut in香蕉视频直播� the cheese with the fries, he said, while another suggests it香蕉视频直播檚 a take on 香蕉视频直播減udding香蕉视频直播� because it is a mixture of ingredients. Other dishes in France and Acadia also bear the name, he added.

While poutine香蕉视频直播檚 name clearly has nothing to do with Vladimir Putin, Charlebois said they both became internationally famous at around the same time, and he thinks the Russian president may have at least helped some people learn how to say the dish香蕉视频直播檚 name properly.

香蕉视频直播淭he pronunciation of the dish itself, I think, got easier when President Putin landed on the world stage,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淚 actually do think he might have helped people, because in French it香蕉视频直播檚 the same spelling, the same pronunciation.香蕉视频直播�
