Poutine

[GibsonGirl]

Well, Chris Martin called me up and was crying because he felt that trivial food discussions were detrimental to the message he is trying to convey with his music, and he begged me to remove any association of poutine with Coldplay. I told him no, but then he put Gwyneth on, and I can't say no to Gwyneth.

That still doesn't explain the Make Poutine Fair bumper sticker on my car though.

When you put it that way...

see, those look as if they might actually taste good.

 

[Tiger Edge]

Ive been hating the word Poutine for about a month cause I wasnt clear on how to say it, and what the hell it even was, so now that I know what it is, I found this site, and you can click to hear someone pronnounce it. I just might have to make some for myself.

If you eat Poutine then =

If you eat apples then =

 

[unforgettableFOXfire]

Yikes.

If I knew poutine would do that to my ears, I would have said 'non, monsieur' years ago.


I had a joke about saggy old man-pecks lined up, but then I couldn't find any pictures of Ric Flair or Hulk Hogan.

So instead... I bring you my warning: excessive apple consumption causes uncontrollable chest twitching.

does anyone know what Traditional Poutine Gravy is? Is it Beef, or Turkey, or..........?

 

[Tiger Edge]

Probably some variation of mud.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

I am a poutine connoisseur. I have had it from Burger King to KFC, to even italian poutine. The Zellers Diner makes a great poutine and sometimes Pizza Delight puts mushrooms in theirs McDonalds even had poutine for awhile, but they seem to have gotten rid of it.

I am saddened, horrifed, annoyed....that no one has mentioned Harveys poutine...it was the first type of poutine I had when I moved to Canada....and love at first bite!! I had the real thing in Quebec last fall though....mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Poutine

I sometimes add ketchup to it too
(although it's usually perfect on its own!)

Heh, according to Wikipedia, the Americans have their own version - Disco fries (which seem to be the same thing, except you put the gravy on before the cheese).


I'd never heard of either before, but since we have chips, cheese and gravy powder, I may experiment tonight

Ah I forgot about Harvey's poutine! Yes, it is indeed very good. I find Harvey's is a place that is overlooked alot when it is really a nice little restaurant

Well see, now that's just crazy. Why on earth would you put the gravy on before the cheese? That's like sandwiching a bun between two hamburger patties!

Wikipedia is wrong.

Cheese first.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Cheese curd on top of gravy? That's retarded. You need the gravy on top of the curd to melt it in with the fries.

 

[Tiger Edge]

You guys keep misspelling turd.

I don't think this Putin would approve of poutine.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

/\ /\ two different pronunciations my friend...

Putin - Pooh - tin

Poutine - Pooh - teen

That guy probably wouldn't taste too good either (probably vodka flavoured) even if he was soaked in gravy...

btw, IMO gravy makes everything better and cheese is one of the greatest inventions made by man. The combination is pure genius and on fries? Sweet.

When I went to Montreal, I found it funny they sold cheese curds in the Wal-Mart there... And not just in the cooler section but right next to the cash in the impulsive buy section with the gum and batteries and razor blades.. Now that's hard core.

the poutine...

 

[angelordevil]

I put ketchup on my poutine

 

[Canadiens1131]

Ketchup should only go on the new Nichols' fries because they're thin cut and suck. Their smoke meat is still okay though.

Does anyone like Schwartz? Best smoke meat evar.
