Title: Poutine
Post by: Weegee on May 14, 2011, 07:55:02 PM

So, how many of you have had this French-Canadian delicacy? It's available at burger restaurants across Canada, but I hear it's fairly obscure in the States.

To those who picked poll option #3: Poutine is basically french fries and cheese curds smothered in gravy. It's every bit as unhealthy as it sounds.

I'd imagine it's also delicious...?

In any case, I've never had it.

Goodness no, but it looks like it's worth trying.

I'm fairly sure our definitions of delicacy are very different. It looks like a Garbage Plate. I'd give a shot.

It does kind of look like a Garbage Plate, but no where near as delicious.

I tried poutine when I was in Quebec. It tastes exactly like you'd think.

Someone brought some in for French class my Freshman year, and it's been a low-level aspiration of mine ever since to have it again.

I had it at a Burger King in Montreal once, and loved it. I told my mom about it, and now she makes it from time to time, which is pretty cool.

What's poutine? Oh, huh.

I've been on several adventures to Canada (one with TEM) and never heard of the stuff.

But the bags of milk and these signs (http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/207161_504881985729_43800823_30060124_2335_n.jpg) were cool.

That's a pretty [darn] American food for something made by the French.

Why does this forum keep making my hungry for fries at 2 in the morning?

I'm fairly sure our definitions of delicacy are very different.

Remember that Quebec, the place in which poutine originated, is also known for tented tarps used as car-housing units known in English-speaking Canada as "Montreal garages (http://www.v8mr2.com/images/day27/images/P2050095.jpg)". Heck, "Sunday drivers" are sometimes referred to as "Quebec drivers" here.

So yes, within the context of its home province, poutine is indeed a 'delicacy'.
