Just to add, I don't put ketchup in my poutine, just gravy and cheese. Putting ketchup does make it look disgusting but I heard it tastes better. I personally don't like it with ketchup tho.

It's ugly but tasty. And it makes you wonder why all Quebecer's don't weigh 400 pounds. So its food for the stomach and the brain.
 
Poutine > all

When done right. Those examples you've posted are NOT done right. Good poutine should have just enough gravy and cheese that the fries flavor is enhanced, not drown in a pool of soggyness.

Oh ok, I just wanted to make sure you were passing judgement on it before trying it. :p

I still can't believe you people actually eat that stuff. That's disgusting.

Okay Willco we will keep Poutine out of America, only if America promises to quit bottling it's urine and sending it up here, hoping to sell it as beer. Keep that stuff below the 49th.

Just to elaborate. You guys can't switch from dog to monkey urine, then start sending the shit up as an improvement. We don't want any of the urine beer :p

Dude, Americans don't even like American beer. The only American beer I drink is Yuengling and those who enjoy it will testify to it's great taste.

... Unfortunately, it's a small time brewery and with limited sales range.

Yeah but the difference is Poutine, while fatting and ugly, tastes great.

Deep down you know you love it. You are sickened yet intrigued by it's gooey goodness. Make some tonight, and try it. Soon you won't be able to live without.

Just do it.

I had poutine today with my burger at lunch (Princess Grill for anyone looking for a good diner in the Exchange District ;)). It was damn good, but they give you way too much and I feel like I have to try to eat it all so for an hour after lunch I'm nearly comatose from overeating.

And don't try to make it sound like it's got some weird shit in it, most everywhere it's just french fries, cheese (mozza or mozza/cheddar in most places) and regular brown gravy. Once you've had it, it's an obvious combo.

Dude, gravy, french fries and curdled cheese is weird shit.

Blasphemy, poutine > everything else

It's also cheap and usually comes in large portion. I should know as a quebecer.

Mozzarella is not some weird extra-curdled cheese dude.

Cheese is the least offensive of the combination. We have cheese fries in America. Not fucking gravy and soggy fries. That is disgusting.

We're goddamn Americans! We believe in FREEDOM and all that good shit. Not curdled cheese and gravy and fren- er... FREEDOM FRIES.

... Also, I heard the gravy is not regular gravy.
 
Poutine is fucking delicious. Most food doesn't look good, so fucking what. You have no opinion on the matter since you've never had it.

Granted, this whole thread was started by someone who comes from a country where people put mayonaise on their french fries, so I doubt any fellow Canuckers took his opinion too seriously ;)

Uh, we don't put mayo on our fries. Ketchup, dude. Ketchup. I'm sure some do, but it's just as common as say, someone putting mayo on their fries in Canada.

I've never heard of anyone using mayo on fries in Canada. Why put on mayo when you can use ketchup or vinegar or POUTINE?

Seriously. Mayonaise.

You obviously didn't get the fucking point.

It's as common here as it is as common there. So it's not fucking common.

Ketchup is the dip of choice for fries in America.

Give it a rest. You haven't tried it and yet call it gross, despite every Canadian posting here saying it's great. You were probably one of those "eeeewwwwww vegetables" kids weren't you.

And that's why God created America.

No, not really.

Well I've never heard of anyone in Canada ever using mayonaise on fries ever, and I've heard it referenced by two Americans I've met and in at least one movie, so no, it's not as common here as it is there?

Ketchup's the dip of choice for fries in Canada too, but that doesn't make poutine as common in the States as it is here :)

I've seen some American's do it, but they're not welcome here.

Maybe there's a reason why poutine is common in the states, ay?

That time the wording was MY FAULT. I meant "NOT" common.

At least we don't have biscuits and GRAVY for BREAKFAST. WTF is up with that?

Biscuits and sausage gravy. Gravy alone would be weird.

I think that sounds fantastic. It reminds me of a description of Belgian food I once read, and any food that is absurdly delicious and makes you fart is A-OK with me.

Maybe I haven't spent enough time in Canada, but I've seen way more bottles of vinegar on tables than bottles of ketchup.

I'd never seen poutine in the States. I still have never tried it. I can't bring myself to try it.

Vinegar just stays on the table so you always see it because you don't have to refridgerate it like ketchup. Most people use ketchup though.

When I have all the options, I use ketchup about half the time and gravy about 40% of the time with my french fries. I get poutine as a treat or when I'm extra hungry.

Ketchup is always on the table in the U.S. Especially at like diners and shit. You don't have to refridgerate it. At least... they don't...
