After those fries come out of the hot oil, into the paper bag, the heavy dusting of Chili Powder,

Less than 6 drops of Tabasco, Shake the bag. Coat it generously with Pizza style Parmesan.

Coat it all w/Ranch Style Bacon Salad Dressing. PopCorns' Great this way, without the Salad Dressing.

Poutine (Quebec French pronunciation putsɪn (help·info)) is a dish consisting of French fries topped with fresh cheese curds and covered with gravy and sometimes other additional ingredients. The freshness of the curds is important as it makes them soft in the warm fries, without completely melting. It is a quintessential Canadian comfort food, especially but not exclusively among Québécois.

 

Poutine is a fast food staple in Canada; it is sold by many fast food chains (such as New York Fries and Harvey's) in the provinces, in small diners and pubs, as well as by roadside "poutine trucks" and "fries stands," commonly known as "casse-croûtes" in Quebec. International chains like McDonalds[1], A&W[2], KFC and Burger King[3] also sell mass-produced poutine across Canada, especially in Quebec. Popular Quebec restaurants that serve poutine include Chez Ashton (Quebec City), La Banquise (Montreal), Lafleur Restaurants, La Belle Province, Le Petit Québec and Dic Ann's Hamburgers. Along with fries and pizza, poutine is a very common dish sold and eaten in high school cafeterias in Ontario and Manitoba. It is also a very popular meal at ski resorts.

Hi Borg - this bit of terminology interested me! A casse-croûte in France is just a snack, literally break-crust I suppose. So its Canadian use in this specific way is interesting. They have done some funny things to the French language have them Quebecois folks. And hi there too Gogo. Think I'd better retire into Oblivion again. Glad to see the kitchen is still producing the goods.

The comments are not from me there all result from googling the term Poutine. The few times I strayed across the border into Quebec but never tried them. However I may show up at Gogo's doorstep and try them

heh, you guys are all welcome to come over.

 

But I warn you, I'm notorious for plucking out all the melty cheese before anyone gets their paws on it

 

Don't worry....I hear plain fries in sauce taste good.

p.s. Mcd's has it's own poutine...but nothing like the good stuff. Mcd's stuff has a kind of "golden" gravy. lol, more like chicken sauce than the rich pork stuff you want for the real poutine ^^

[locutus 1]

O how I miss back in Buffalo, NY...so close to Ontario and poutine goodness(well that and the strip joints )

[Bondbug 32]
