    Poutine

    To our Canadian neighbors: do you make this? do you eat it? It seems to be kind of a "national dish."

    For those who've not heard of it it is french fries with cheese curds in top and then ? brown gravy ladled over that.

    Wow! Never heard of that before---looks like a cardio attack in a bowl.

    SO says he's had it in the upper Midwest.
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    Poutine has been fast food in Quebec for about a generation.

    I haven't heard of anyone making it, though I'm sure it's done. Much easier to just buy poutine, since the fast food restaurant has the deep fryer. Being vegetarian I don't eat it. It depends how health conscious you are - like most fast food, it seems that younger people eat it more, though that's just a generalization.

    In my youth, I used to frequent a fast-food joint that featured fries with a side of chicken gravy. They were divine, and I haven't found any as good since. So I'm open to the idea of poutine, but just barely.

    This dish is why Canadians have gun control.

    Personally, I don't touch the stuff, but every so often (when we make fries at home), we'll douse the fries in ketchup and gravy. Talk about heaven!
