Poutine - A Canadian Delicacy, Not a Russian President (1 Viewer)

[KokaneeCowgirl]

Got our oven working again so will be making the following calorific but yummy comfort food for dinner tonight: POUTINE.

Basically, you sprinkle a plate of chips with grated cheese (I use white cheddar) and then cover with gravy (chicken or beef bisto are fine) and then enjoy.

YUM!

A delicious variation is also using chip shop curry sauce instead of gravy.

Guaranteed hangover buster.

The idea of it is bringing my hangover back!!

I thought the correct version of poutine is to use curd. It sounds revolting either whey but I know some Canucks that love it.

Curd is what you're supposed to use but I haven't been able to find curd here. Unfortunately. Defo one of my faves.

add shredded smoked meat on top of it all for that peculiar Montreal experience.

poutine, if done right, rules. if done wrong it's shit.

Oh come on people, that's pun gold right there.

Never thought of putting meat onto it. Actually I've never been to Montreal so wouldn't be any the wiser about that particular experience.

You need to get the right chip to gravy ratio. Needs enough to get the chips nice and dowsed without losing all the flavour of the cheese and the chips.

They do Irish poutine in one of my locals - lamb gravy and cheddar

Super gorgeous

This sounds like something I need to try.

I especially like the idea of having shredded meat in there

This is my friend's version

Anyone can improvise this with chili cheese fries.

I picked up a bag of frozen curly fries earlier..and I have some chilli and cheese in the fridge!

I know what I'm having for dinner

 

[nooleen]

i do a half-arsed version with chopped up potato waffles and feta, which at least resembles the curd stuff they use

I've had the Toronto version more than a few times. It's real 'coming back from the pub on a freezing night' food - looks awful, sloppy as hell to eat and not at all healthy (I would imagine) but hits the spot. There are some trendy places here that do 'gourmet' versions of it with miscellaneous fancy ingredients thrown in but that just seems wrong..

This was good shit. When everything sort of collapses into a cheesy, potatoy gravy soup it's the best.

I can't help thinking this thread is about gravy cheese chip?
