en.wikipedia.org...

is a Canadian dish, originating in the province of Quebec, made with french fries and cheese curds topped with a light brown gravy-like sauce

Last time I was in Toronto I visited a poutine truck with a friend and tried several different styles with various toppings.

Poutine is so good that I could justify invading Canada to secure the future production and end America's reliance on importing the delicious substance.

This is the type I was brought up on ...."Poutine râpée is a traditional Acadian dish that in its most common form consists of a boiled potato dumpling with a pork filling; it is usually prepared with a mixture of grated and mashed potato." en.wikipedia.org... great with sugar sprinkled on them .mmmmm

I have plans to eat it within the next year. Considering what I've heard. I'll raid all homeowners, restaurant owners, food trucks, etc. for their food. Not just the poutine, but everything. 'Murica.


WAIT THIS JUST IN, THERE IS POUTINE TRUCKS IN PORTLAND, TIME TO HEAD THERE! Bye guys!

I swear I want to go to Canada just to eat Poutine! somehow in my mind I think it won't be authentic if I eat it anywhere else

In the North (UK) we pretty much put gravy on everything, and I grew up eating chips covered in cheese and gravy, but poutine with the creamy curds looks so tasty!

Hahaha i live in canada. At work a gentleman i befriended just moved here from peru. He never heard of poutine before. So i took him to poutine planet in town. 50 different types of poutine.
My favourite is perogie poutine. Gravy, sour cream, bacon and green onion.

You name the poutine, ive probably tried it at some point.

Just make it at home.mi bet it will be better than half the places here.
Get some chicken gravy (kfc gravy works great) and grate your favourite cheese on top. Badda bing -poutine

Also get a can of chili and some sour creme. Cook the chili, pour it on top of your fries, add hot sauce and sour creme.. You got a party

Poutine does taste pretty good no doubt about it!

Chicken poutine. Steak and onions poutine. Bacon poutine. Pizza poutine. Pepper sauce poutine. Smoked meat poutine. Italian sausage and red peppers poutine. Turkey and peas poutine. Sliced hot dogs poutine...the list goes on and on.

Poutine is probably the first meal I would give to an alien outsider!

im planning on making it this week. it is so simple and like i said, it does not sound like much but the flavors work well. i dont know if i mentioned it but the poutine i had also had mushrooms. loved it

Down in Southern Canada (Louisiana) we have amazing Poutine. Of course we jazz it up a little with some nice crayfish and add other odds and ends so why go to where it will be cold in a month or so and instead come and fight mosquitoes....we need all the help we can get !

a reply to: Macenroe82

I've made it with gruyere cheese and a beef gravy before, was lovely! but I still have that 'want' in my head to go get the 'real thing' ....

a reply to: valiant

I would say the closest taste to cheese curds would be Monterrey Jack cheese if you want to give it a try!
That's what I do at home if I don't have it in curds.

a reply to: valiant

The only difference between an authentic Canada poutine and what you make in your home, is that a strange french guy had his greasy mitts on your fries before you ate it. Lol

Try frying the potatoes in duck fat. YES I said Duck fat.

That makes the fries even better. Expensive. But I have done it twice. And it just makes those fries the king of the plate.

We make it at home almost every Sunday. It's a football day treat.

And I mix it up sometimes too. sour cream, fresh sauted mushrooms. Chile is a good topping.

Im really hungry now!
Its thanksgiving here today. Most people are doing the traditional turkey dinner. Not us this year.
So sick of turkey and the work put into a huge dinner. Were doing home made alfredo and caesar salad.
But now im wishing we did poutines lol

Never seen that cheese here before, I'll have to google similar uk cheese.


a reply to: theMediator

Haha ... France is close, maybe I can find a french guy and make it authentic

Happy Thanksgiving Macenroe.

Hope you and yours have many thanks to give.
