Funny, the restaurant that has invented poutine is in my town.

In that last link, there is an english version that chronicles the invention of the dish back in 1964. The restaurant is still going strong, if you happen to go by the canadian national superhighway, between Montreal and Quebec, and you really want to taste the original, well you can. Altough I do not eat it anymore since a long while because I cannot eat fat food, this is the best I have ever had. The sauce cannot be topped, period. As for all of you finding it disgusting well, I think it's more of a cultural thing than anything else.
