Sacré bleu! French restaurant sent threats as punters think Poutine dish named after Putin
A restaurant in Paris has spoken out after it said it had received "threats" from customers who believed it had been named after the Russian President Vladimir Putin.
La Maison de la Poutine – which means the House of Poutine – said it was named after the Quebecois dish and was “unrelated to the Russian regime and its leader”. The blue-fronted eatery near the Louvre gallery is a far cry from Moscow’s Red Square.
However, some of the French-Canadian restaurant’s punters thought the dish had been named in the Russian leader’s honour.
As many Western companies seek to distance themselves from Russia and Putin over his invasion of Ukraine, La Maison de la Poutine said on Friday that it had “received calls of insults and even threats” over the namesake dish.
It continued: “It therefore seems necessary for us to recall that La Maison de la Poutine is unrelated to the Russian regime and its leader.
