How important is poutine to you?

[Anders]

I've never tried it.

I had not read this post before making the thread, but I guess similar minds, similar thoughts:

poutine is very important to me

Do chili cheese fries count as poutine?

[BurtReynolds]

Don't think I've ever had it.

Do chili cheese fries count as poutine?

Do hamburgers count as pizza? Do cats count as dogs?!

I thought I had tried poutine, but it turns out I tried something else entirely (a "Caesar salad")

[Farmer John]

If you're not using a high quality Quebec cheese curd, then don't bother.

It is very important to me, but we can't get good poutine here in the southern U.S. So it is a rare treat.

I’m hoping we have a chance to have some when we’re in Canada for a day in a couple of months.

You can get poutine at McDonald's here, but I've never tried it. Most of the poutine I've eaten in my life has probably come from the burger chain Harvey's.

Every once in a while I'll make it at home if I have some leftover gravy. But again, it all comes down to the quality of that curd. As well as the crispness of the fries, or else you'll just have a soggy mess on your hands (which is still pretty good)

agree poutine requires quebec cheese curd

would add that it should be consumed after at least 3 beers but preferably 5 for maximum effect

[Farmer John]

If that curd ain't from Quebec, then it damn well better be coming from a Mennonite farm

[96583UP]

also recommend poutine with a side of statins

or can crumble them on top like ice cream sprinkles

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Ain't ever had it.

Where they use cheese as hats? Doubt it

In my hometown we have a street food called chuzo desgranado. It's actually nothing like poutine in terms of flavor, ingredients or looks, but it serves a similar function and cultural standing I think. Indulgent 2 AM drunk food.
