What Quebecois prefer about a meal
People have a meal. However, what defines varied eating style is the stories of how to have a meal instead of the fact that people have a meal. As a result, I believe that Quebecois - French Canadians or, to put it simple, Quebecors in English, in Montreal, can present us a unique version.
To smoke works particularly for a meal. In Quebecors' viewpoint, to smoke is the announcement of a meal coming up. Friends or relatives, gathering together to smoke with puffing out smoke circles at a table on the both sides of a street after what is good for a meal is ordered, chat about topics ranging from the best pizza shop in downtown and how funny the only male teacher in kids' kindergarden with the alternation between laughing and talking or listening. To be more interesting, to smoke is an equal importance after a meal is finished - they really can't grab an occassion as perfect as this to spill over their viewpoint of how the meal is for a couple of minutes.
Different from smoking, drinking usually happens in course of a meal. If you don't feel surprised just because you drink too while having a meal, you take it for granted - you occasionally drink while Quebecors conventionally drink. Stretching from what is alcoholic to what is soft or what you can name to what you have never heard of or the flavor you have ever experienced in your place to what you can't imagine unless you don't come to Montreal, drinks remind all of what accounts for a perfect meal. Quebecors drink for different purposes, appetizing for a meal or accompanying a meal or soup with a meal, which, then, in some degrees, interprets why drinking culture has been staying prosperous since the history of Quebecors began in Canada.
Quebecors' smoking for a meal is to display how leisurely they can be and Quebecors' drinking for a meal is to narrate how agreeable they can be. So what about your version?
