As a Canadian, I'm truly curious as to who knows what poutine is. It's my favorite. <3

Had no idea what it was til I googled it. So it's basically chips & cheese with gravy? We have it in the chip shops round here.

Thanks to an impromptu trip to Canada when my little brother turned 18 a few summer ago, I know what it is! I have never tried it though.

Although... I did have fries with Gravy one night, and Vinager the next. heheh

Ladies and gentlemen, meet poutine:



It's so, so good! And yes, it is just fries with gravy and cheese on top. YOU GUYS HAVE TO TRY THIS!

And Lindsey, you definitely should have tried poutine when you came to Canada! tongue.gif

Eeeew that looks gross compared to the ones I have here.

We have grated cheese on ours.

Well it doesn't always come with cheese curds, although cheese curds are good.
Victoriia
Lol it looks like something I bring up after i've been out on the lash.
ex-oh-ex___love
I have no idea what a lash is haha....but anyways, cheese curds are delicious!
Victoriia
Out on the lash is when you go out and get drunk biggrin.gif

I knew exactly what it was smile.gif Being 50% Canadian has it's advantages. I was close to trying it. While in Canada, I was at Harvey's, but then I was afraid to try it. I don't like trying new things lol
KJ
That looks good! Next time I'm in Canada I'll definitely try it out.

I went to Canada last year and I HAD to find place to try it. It's pretty tasty but nothing special haha. Sorry?
ex-oh-ex___love
No need to be sorry? Everyone has their own taste, dah'.
Element
Hahah I know, but you sound so passionate about Poutine. ;P
ex-oh-ex___love
Well I am tongue.gif, but I don't expect everyone to agree with me silly.

I'm absolutely addicted to them!! Every time I get the chance I turn my fries into poutine. I LOVE it!

My husband is American & we were talking one night & I mentioned them. He asked me what it was & when I told him he said it sounded DISGUSTING, & that putting gravy on fries is nasty. I asked him if he ever tried it & he said no. When he came up to Canada I made him try it & he fell in love with them! now hes experimenting with making them with different cheeses & stuff.

If/Whenever you guys come to Canada, try the poutine as Swiss Chalet (the restaurant)! It's absolute heaven!

Is putting gravy on fries a weird thing to do in America? It's just the norm here.

Ive never seen it ANYWHERE.

It dosent seem half bad as long as the fries and gravy and potatoes are all hot... I dont see it being so good once they cooled off?

I love seeing cultural differences between countries' foods. I never knew people ate fries with vinegar before I went to Canada!
Element
lol Daina my mom eats fries with vinegar and she's from Missouri. I think it's just about tastes/experimentation.
love fuhrer
Gravy
Tomato sauce
Tartare sauce
Vinegar

How about mayonnaise?
Jessica*
Poutine with mayo is AMAZING.

Victoriia

Poutine is the best. Especially for a hangover.
