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 Russia91裸聊视频檚 president.

Drummondville, Que., diner Le Roy Jucep announced last week on Facebook it was temporarily removing the word 91裸聊视频減outine91裸聊视频� from some of its online branding to express its 91裸聊视频渄eep dismay91裸聊视频� over the Russian army91裸聊视频檚 invasion of Ukraine.

91裸聊视频淭herefore, as of now, we91裸聊视频檙e the inventor of the fries cheese gravy,91裸聊视频� the post read.

In French, Russian President Vladimir Putin91裸聊视频檚 last name is written and pronounced 91裸聊视频淧outine91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频� the same as Quebec91裸聊视频檚 signature dish.

The restaurant has since deleted the post, but its Facebook page still describes it as the inventor of the 91裸聊视频渇ries cheese gravy91裸聊视频� 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.

91裸聊视频淚f we were able to make someone smile over there, it91裸聊视频檚 already a win!91裸聊视频� the restaurant wrote on Facebook.

91裸聊视频淲e are with you with all our hearts.91裸聊视频�

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 University91裸聊视频檚 agri-food analytics lab and author of the book 91裸聊视频淧outine Nation,91裸聊视频� said that while the word 91裸聊视频減outine91裸聊视频� 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 it91裸聊视频檚 unclear how poutine first got its name. One legend suggests it was a trucker who asked the restaurant to 91裸聊视频減ut in91裸聊视频� the cheese with the fries, he said, while another suggests it91裸聊视频檚 a take on 91裸聊视频減udding91裸聊视频� because it is a mixture of ingredients. Other dishes in France and Acadia also bear the name, he added.

While poutine91裸聊视频檚 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 dish91裸聊视频檚 name properly.

91裸聊视频淭he pronunciation of the dish itself, I think, got easier when President Putin landed on the world stage,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淚 actually do think he might have helped people, because in French it91裸聊视频檚 the same spelling, the same pronunciation.91裸聊视频�
