gogoblender 3,070 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Yes it's both fascinating and scary to look at. The second leading cause of most heart attacks (barely edged out by smoking) in Montreal arrives steaming hot at your table, with a consistency of textures ranging from crunchy to soft, pliable,rubber...and all edible. But once you bite, slurp, chew, suck and stretch your way into it, there is no turning back. A new Poutine lover has been born. This is a great read and I was delighted to find it. Make mine with extra curds please. gogo Link to comment

gogoblender 3,070 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 eek sorry, lol, I had the wrong link in there. Check this link out, it's an awesome visit to montreal's finest Poutineries http://www.montrealpoutine.com/history.html Bon apetit gogo Link to comment
Funkilicious 1 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 It sounds awfully fattening, gogo Is it something you can make at home, or is it strictly restaurant fare:) Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 fattening would be an understatement It was originally a poor man's food, but...the world being the way it is, this dish has reared it's face in many new forms in chi-chi restaurants all over the city now. Can it be made at home? You betcha + + Fry the fries, warm up the gravy, toss on the curds and let it melt. When the whole thing turns into a big gooey mess, pull up a seat and enjoy gogo Link to comment
Funkilicious 1 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 (edited) hmmm I don't think I have ever seen Cheddar Cheese Curd in the deli's or supermarkets here. Actually haven't seen the Poutine mix either. Edited August 3, 2007 by Funkilicious Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 apparently it was the poor person's snack food. lol, now it's all the overpriced rage go figger gogo p.s. Funki, I'd actually be very interested to know if you could get it there. Just show em the pic of the poutine...if it doesn't scare the dude, he'd probably be know what you were taling about. People buy small bags of it now here and just pop the little nibbits into their mouth...like potato chips. Link to comment
Arilaftia 0 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I have had this years ago when I was small! But my mom used different gravy (It was the description of the squeaky cheese as you ate it that brought the memory back Link to comment
Funkilicious 1 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 (edited) Did you see it on your travels here in Australia:) I just tried googling specifying Oz and it just comes up with Canadian sites. {edit} you would think my grammar would be a little better .... grrrrr (I am so ashamed LOL) Edited August 3, 2007 by Funkilicious Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 What's interesting is now the gravies are a big point of contention. Apparently the dude who first invented the poutine sauce, had a kind of sweet thing going on. But now, the gravies all range from pork, to beef, to chicken...out of the packet even. And yeah...if the cheese is good...really good...it squeaks gogo Link to comment
Arilaftia 0 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Yup I think it was actually a mix of mushroom/beef my mom used to use. Shhh.. but I like to add a hint of... ketchup.. just a drop per bite. Just to balance out the gravyness. Link to comment
myles 2 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Nope I haven't seen anything like it. Ok the concept is everywhere, but I doubt that a true poutine existed in Asia at all. Is there a homemade recipe for the curd? Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Oh wow. When Poutine is good... It is soooooo good! I swear I could live off the stuff. MmmmMm! :) Link to comment
Borg 0 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) mmmmmmmmmmmmm? wasnt that invented by English Canadians? I am pretty sure the French Canadians stole it from us ! ( all above is a lie sort of and inside joke as how English Canadians have a riverlry with the French Canadians and for any of you out side of Canada don't get either one of use started on newfies *lol*) to Gogo Edited August 7, 2007 by Borg Link to comment
gial 2 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Cheese curds are quite common here in Minnesota/Wisconsin. They are most often deep fried and eaten like "popcorn" chicken. Quite tasty -- and I feel my arteries tighten up every time I have some. State Fair time is almost here -- deep fried curds are a specialty there. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 help...someone call for the artery busters... Gial..how could you! lol...now I know this exists... must..have...deep fried curds... gogo p.s. State fairs sounds so awesome. I read about how they do the whole deep fried snickers thing. My kinda place. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Sorry for the double post but when I saw this I just had to post it this pic: k, is that not gorgeous or what Turkey, take a seat Your appointment with the butcher has been forestalled a year gogo Link to comment
Erling 3 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 sorry all canadians and Poutine lovers but that last pic from Gogo looks pretty discusting it looks like thick oil over sticks Link to comment
myles 2 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Face it gogo, poutine won't ever look royal. N-E-V-E-R I bet it tastes like heaven (if there's oil there ). Link to comment
Zyther 0 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I'm so hungry.. gogo if only we had the same shift I'd get you to join me in buying poutines Link to comment
locutus 1 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Mmmmmm poutine, being in Buffalo, NY-it was only a quick hop into Ontario and POUTINE. Good stuff, though ive always wondered what it would be like with sausage gravy, cuz I just love a load of sausahe gravy over homefries so french fries isnt a stretch. Now im hungry and I want poutine...or another local(Rochester, NY) favorite of a "garbage plate" I had one not too long ago and it was delish and it probably shave d a few years off my life expectancy What is it you may ask? Pick 2: Hot dogs/hamburgers/sausages/white hots/hamburgers Pick 2: Macaroni salad/potato salad/french fries/homefries/beans Cover all that in chili and onions and you have a Garbage Plate! http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/GarbagePlate.htm Link to comment

Instead of gravy, use a bacon & ranch salad dressing. Try it . . . HOLYCOOKING.COM DO POPCORN THE SAME WAY, BUT LEAVE OFF THE GRAVY - HUH Edited February 17, 2008 by rmholy Link to comment
