Since no one's tackled fruit on a budget, here's simple one when you have fruit going soft or going bad in your fridge.
Usually I'll use peaches, strawbs, blueberries, melon. Clean and chop where required, put throw them in a tupperware, add a good quantity of Port to taste (no particular quantity) and sweeten with Stevia and/or juice. Use the cheapest bottle of Port you can find as if you're doing this regularly, you don't want to use an expensive bottle of Port.
Leave it closed in the tupperware for several hours in the fridge.
Later, when you wanna have it, shake it up lightly and enjoy, by dripping a little of the liquid that settles at the bottom. I prefer Stevia to sugar, just as sweet, no aftertaste and no calories. Easy-peazy. If you try it, let me know how you like it. Makes the blandest of fruits taste great.

I'll burn off the calories on the jog to Montreal.I used to go to the Arahova location in the east end, that is now moved north of the Met on Langelier.
Is that the one you tried? I never ordered a pita there, used to like their lamb dish. I gotta go back, it's been too long.
Don't tell Lafleur's Guy, though -- the guy is training real hard.
It's great. And they sell their maranades and sauces too. I also recommend the pita and hummus appetizer. Fattening but so good.

Dammit, you caught me. You're everywhere.
What's this jog to Montreal thing you're doing? Or was that merely facetious?

The one I usually go to is on Henri-Bourassa. Never tried their other location so if you do, let us know!

I haven't found anything fantastic, yet, unfortunately. Maam bolduc is pretty good. Comptoir 21's is surprisingly good. Vegan gravy iirc, if that's a thing for you. Resto du village is a good option if you're in the area late, and the staff there are cool people.
Chez philippe get's a lot of love but is pretty meh, imo. Oh, and poutineville is the devil.
We don't have fantastic pizza, either. :/
Hochelag has Poutine Central, near Pie IX station. They've got some good stuff and generous portions.
And fried pickles. A little surprising, but makes for a nice change over the more standard options for junk food.

I underestimated the size of a large portion there. Safe to say, I couldn't finish it. It was really good, but too much.
Don't underestimate the size of those take-out boxes.

Alright thanks guys I'll check this out!
The only place I've been with decent poutine close to my place is Poutine en Folie but you always need to ask for extra cheese otherwise it's meh.
