What is poutine and is it good?

[Phillycat]

Heard it mentioned and I'm curious...

1. balls of potato wrapped around balls of meat

very tasty.


(a new version is french fries w/ gravy AND cheese sauce--also very tasty but considerably less healthy)

12. My French-Canadian grandfather....

my Pepere, for those who recognize the term, LOVED poutine. It was one of two things he requested during the last week of his life - the other was chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. 15 years later, I still miss him every day.

13. Not cheese sauce; cheese curds, or sometimes cheese.

[Redstone]

18. Yes, curd Cheddar cheese. Damn hard to find in most of the US.

19. Shredded or grated mozzarella is a pretty common substitute.

[Redstone]

20. Yes, that would give it the same texture and consistency, wouldn't it?

4. Could it be poteen?

Are you sure of the spelling? I don't know what poutine is but poteen is moonshine. It is Irish Gaelic for little pot, where the stuff is brewed.

6. No, it's spelled correctly. It's an artety-clogging Canadian dish. Delicious, but not health food.

It should be tried once by everyone, but eaten no more than once a month if you want to make it to 40.

5. It is wonderful

french fries with cheese curds and gravy :)

7. Poutine was premier of Canada during the 2000 election.

This Hour has 30 minutes interviewed candidate George Bush about him.

Rick Mercer is great.

22. Thanks for the correction

My Mom and Dad watch it in Buffalo and tell me about it.

8. A heart attack on a plate?

kind of like cheesy gravy fries or something like that, I think...I've always just peeked at it.

9. My mom loved it

My folks went to Canada a couple of times. My dad declared poutine an obscenity. My mom wished she could get it here.

[ghostsofgiants]

15. I agree with your dad.

That stuff is putrid.

10. engina in a bowl

[Phillycat]

17. Were you going for enigma or angina there?

Because by the looks of it, it might be both. :D

[Redstone]

16. Now you know what it is...a Coronary in a Bowl. It ranges from dreadful to wonderful

(like most foods) depending on where you get it.
