/ck/ - Food & Cooking

It has.

Americans have their own poutine. We just drench fries in a gallon of tomato ketchup

>>11397174
its not good

>>11397174
It has, I got this an hour ago in north jers

>>11397174
I wish it would catch on in England because it sounds fucking tasty but I doubt I'd make it right if I tried myself.
I've tried cooking a few American/Canadian foods before and it didn't turn out good.

>>11397252
I doubt they even sell cheese curds outside of North America

I can get it all over the fucking place in Utah. If you can get it in the cultural dumpster fire you can get it anywhere

>>11397190
>we
>tomato ketchup

At least try a little.

>>11397243
>no gravy
i mean at least there's cheese curds i guess

>>11397174
because they can't pronounce it, which means that it can't be good

>>11397174
>Why hasn't Poutine caught on in America?

We have all sorts of variants of "cheese fries" all over the place. Yes, I know they are different from poutine, but they're close enough for the average amerilard.

Interestingly, I have found Poutine surprisingly difficult to find in Canada. The last time I was in Ontario was about 10 years ago. I looked for Poutine all over the place and nobody I asked even knew what it was.

>>11397243
>sunny side up egg on fries

im doing this tonight

>>11397258
I've never seen them so far.
Could probably make a poor immitation.

>>11397174
because we don't eat like faggots down here in Texas

>>11397272
That is what Americans do in general. Jesus anon I get that you're autistic but come on.

>>11397317
No American says, "tomato ketchup".

>>11397289
>Interestingly, I have found Poutine surprisingly difficult to find in Canada. The last time I was in Ontario was about 10 years ago. I looked for Poutine all over the place and nobody I asked even knew what it was.
Its a snack food you get from food trucks and ski cafes and dives that are still open when the bars close. Its not something you get at major chains or restaurants and when those places do sell it, it tastes like garbage.

>>11397174
No access to fresh cheese curd outside of Wisconsin.

>>11397317
you've been had stop pretending

>>11397288
poo-teen, right?

>canadians claiming ownership of poutine
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

There are better fries near the other border.

Did you think Americans invented it retard?

>Vladmir Poutine

i dont fucking think so.

French fries don't need disgusting slop on them, just ketchup and some salt and pepper

>>11397174
It kind of sucks and anyone and their cat can throw some cheese on some fries. We just do it better than the Canadians.

Because burgers can't comprehend the beautiful simplicity of what a correct poutine is.
See pics of abominations posted in the thread.

>>11397289
It's everywhere, even all our fast food places have it. You must have asked tourists, because every Canadian knows what poutine is.

>>11397535
Condolences leafs.

Sure, friend.

>>11397521
>Ketchup isn't disgusting slop
yikes

>>11397543
Oh please, don't try to tell me or anyone that some cheese on some fries is high cuisine. Maybe it is for you leafs though, you're a sad lot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJnH-t9GiLs

>>11397548
I never said shit about high cuisine, it's just that actual cheese curds and orange slop are so different in taste and texture they might as well be different food categories altogether

>>11397557
riight. I'll take my velveeta over your canadian slop any day of any week of any year.

>>11397174
It has, in northern states. I can find it easily in North Dakota.

>>11397174
Why does it even have a special name when it's apparently just fries with cheese and gravy?

>>11397803
>why is shepherd's pie not called potatoes with meat
>why is chili not called meat with peppers and tomatoes
>why is hot dog not called sausage in bread

>>11397803
If you've ever tasted poutine then you would know why. I honestly feel sorry for you that you will never enjoy this canadian delicacy.

We have a food cart in Portland that sells poutine but it's seen a tourist thing so it costs over ten bucks for a tiny portion. Clearly I do not live in a Poutine Culture

>>11397803
Legend has it that in a small Quebec fry shoppe, a patron was getting his usual order of fries and curd when he suddenly asked for it to be covered in gravy to keep it warm on his chilly walk home.
The clerk grumbled at him and said "ca va faire une grande poutine!" or, "That'll make a big mess!"
The rest, as they say, is history.

>>11397299
Same but replace egg on fries with me on your mom.

If you're going to shitpost and make shit up, at least put a little effort in.

Potato champion didn't used to be so hilariously overpriced but then it became le big thinge and the price jacked up

>>11397317
No one here says "tomato ketchup" here, kiddo. Get out.
Also, I remember seeing cheese curds at Costco once, but it was years ago. Haven't seen them since.

Technically Quebec is in America. So this thread makes no sense

>>11397876
You know perfectly well what people mean you pedant cunt

>>11397818
I agree with all of those being stupid too. Gimmicky names are stupid.

>>11397243
oh shit thats where I am. Where did you get it senpai? Hook a brother up.

>>11397911
Likely England with their Golden Gaytime.

>>11397174
In Jersey we call 'em disco fries. Curds aren't a thing though, so the diners use mozzarella.

>>11397940
What Jersey, UK or USA?

>>11397972
Obviously USA.

>>11397976
That's not obvious, then it would be New Jersey. There is a Jersey in the UK too.

>>11397981
Yeah, there are a lot of places with the same or similar sounding names. Any time foreign qualifiers aren't specified though it's understood everyone's talking about the US. Also the wording of his post was clearly American sounding, not British sounding, so you have some extra context clues there.

>>11397174
Who the fuck would want to eat soggy fries

Huh?

>>11397190
Wait. so foreigners literally pretend to be Americans so they can make fun of them? Do yuros really do this?

>>11398012
Nobody says "York" for New York. Everyone says "Jersey" for New Jersey. That's just how things are, don't overthink it. Language isn't consistent.

>>11397289
>Interestingly, I have found Poutine surprisingly difficult to find in Canada.
That's pretty weird because I know zero places that don't have it as an option

>>11398022
"everyone" yeah right. That would be like me writing that I'm from York when there's clearly a place in the UK called York instead of me just writing New York.

>>11398032
What are you even trying to communicate now?

>>11398022
Go back to your pine barrens.

>>11397289
Poutine wasn't very known outside of Quebec until around 2010. It was there, but not wide spread like it is now.

>>11398041
I thought that was pretty clear, writing "jersey" is stupid and ambiguous when you could have just as easily written new jersey. Nobody expects much from new jersey types anyway so nevermind.

>>11398059
fat idiots from new jersey like to think their state is worth a shit and so they call it jersey in their wannabe brooklyn accent

>>11398059
It's not ambiguous. If you don't specify you're talking about British Jersey you're talking about American Jersey. Nobody has much reason to bring up British Jersey most of the time anyway outside of people like you trying to force it into relevance on the basis of an austically literal argument about it having the same name as the Jersey people actually do talk about all the time.
>new jersey types
I'm not even a resident of that state. How do you make an unfounded assumption there but fail to make the obvious assumption about Jersey meaning NJ?

>>11398079
Regardless of your big hair jealousy about New York, you're wrong. This is an international message board and nobody knows or cares about new jersey. We call you fucks tunnel bunnys for a reason when coming into Manhattan during the weekends.

>>11398079
You said yourself that you were from new jersey, are you backing off on what you asserted?

>>11398101
>You said yourself that you were from new jersey
No I didn't. You probably made another retarded assumption two different people's posts were the same person's posts. Yet you feel the need to actively pretend not to understand how you're supposed to assume it's American Jersey when not otherwise specified.
>>11398094
What are you talking about? Did you even read what you replied to? I live in Dallas, dummy. The one in Texas FYI since you don't understand how default geographical assumptions work.

PS: Look here:
>>11397995
>Also the wording of his post was clearly American sounding, not British sounding, so you have some extra context clues there.
Notice the use of the pronoun "his" and not "my." That means the person who made the first post about disco fries is someone else.

Not sure what part of Canada you grew up in, but my whole life it's been very popular. The only difference is that there are more gourmet styles now.

Condolences on Dallas, that's even worse than New Jersey.

Because honestly stuff like this
>>11397366
>>11398210
>>11398229
or chili cheese fries in general are 1000 times better than poutine. It hasn't caught on because it really ins't that good compared to other french fry iterations

>>11397174
it tastes like taste and nobody likes it

>>11397981

you might be autistic.

>>11398271
>it tastes like taste

>>11398271
The Lord Humongous like taste

Poutine is fairly common in the upper midwest at least, helps that fresh cheese curds are already super common and familiar because Wisconsin

>>11398028
What about your local tire change shop?

poutine shows the power of advertisement
how anyone would think gravy and fries is some unique dish worth celebrating or identifying with is astonishing
nanaimo bars, yep, now THAT is a national dish

>>11398331
Lol get fucked you pedant

>>11397243
I have never fucking found poutine in north jersey. Where the FUCK IS IT?! TELL ME NOW!!!

Because it's a dumb fucking word and so is cheese "curd".

We greatly prefer simple french fries and gravy thank you.

>>11398441
the fuck American eats just fries with gravy? is that a southern thing?

>>11398443
Yes we do and no it isn't just some southern thing.
t. NJ resident my whole life and always had it at different places

>>11398449
I am from the midwest and have never seen someone order just fries and gravy, I have seen legit poutine much more frequently. I just assumed it was a southern thing because its not a thing here and southerners love gravy

>>11397174
it doesn't look like you can eat it with your hands, and why would you eat fries with anything else?

>>11398441
>>11397174
i never understood the appeal of soggy fries, or the tastiness of cheese curds. so never got into it. there's the rare french-canadian restaurant here and there that will offer poutines but never had a desire to try it. LA has everything but it's up to you to want to seek it out, and also up to the restaurant owner to market their trendy food properly. no one is marketing poutines in LA right now, even if they offer it. we just like fries and ketchup or fries with aioli

>>11398464
chiming in to say this is my experience as well being from OH

>>11398476
and I'm with you, only want soggy fries on burgers here the sogginess is from them absorbing sauces and juices.

>>11398476
>>11398480
Sogginess depends on a few factors. 1) How crispy the fries are 2) how much gravy they dump on them and 3) how quickly you eat them. If you're going to take forever to eat your gravy fries and they're fuckhuge thick steak fries absolutely bathed in gravy, yeah they're gonna get soggy. But if they're thinner and crispier fries, and the amount of gravy is not so offensive, you can get away with eating them all at a normal pace and not have soggy fries.

To be honest though, I'll take them in any way shape or form. I always like french fries and gravy, no matter how soggy they are. But that's just me.

>>11398441
You, my good sir, are an uncultured negroid.

>>11397190
>tomato ketchup
Brit detected

>>11398464
As someone from the south, gravy does not come fucking near my fries. That's what chili is for.

>>11398533
so I guess we can conclusively say its just a jersey thing

There are places that sell it up in Wisconsin and Minnesota, most pizza places in those areas usually have it as a option.

>>11398005
>these hips
Men should not be allowed to be this thicc

>>11397310
You're not Texan, my friend.

>>11398543
I'd say its more of a bar/burger place thing than a pizza place thing in Wisconsin. Many already having fried cheese curds and fries on the menu, its a logical item to add

>it tastes like taste

We have cheese fries. I don't think gravy is really necessary.

>>11397174
A better question would be why it has caught on anywhere. It's not terrible but out of all the things you can put on fries it's not the best

>>11398651
yes it is

>>11398609
I mean, he's not wrong

>>11397539
Sorry

>>11398675
Chili + shredded cheddar is objectively better.

>>11398687
No it isn't

Funny thing is, if you pronounce it "poo-tahn" and not "poo-tin" in Quebec, you're asking for a whore

>>11398687
A few places in Quebec have "italian poutine"
It's made with bolognese sauce instead of gravy.
Chili would be good too.

>>11398703
in quebec its actually pronounced "pou-tseen"

>>11398703
>you're asking for a whore
No you just sound like an idiot who speaks another language.

>>11397304
They're not hard to make. Basic cheesemaking is not hard at all, and curds are basically the first part of the process. You need good milk, rennet, and salt, really.

>>11397357
"Poo-tsin" with stress on the last syllable. Invariably this pronunciation. Most people outside of Quebec, Northern-Ontario, and New Brunswick get this wrong.

>>11397174
Understandably so if it's Smoke's. Low-tier poutine imo. The best poutine comes from a dimly-lit ancient shack in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere, served by a leathery old woman that is missing teeth and smells like stale cigarette smoke.

>>11397174
Because we have chilicheese fries with fun stuff like sour cream, onions, pickled peppers, etc.

Fries that looked like someone finished anal sex and then wiped it on soggy lubed potatoes never caught on. If we want a box of treats we'll usually include some deep fried chicken, shrimp, a hot dog, some nachos, or really anything other than a box of fries and gravy.

Yeah but in America it's hard to get raw milk, you can't really make anything with flavor besides ricotta or cotija (if it's buttermilk) from pasturized milk

>>11399017
Not him but I'm fluent in two languages and functional in two others and it's true that most anglophones' attempts at pronouncing a bunch of french words are laughable at best.

>>11399022

>>11399026
>you can't really make anything with flavor besides ricotta or cotija (if it's buttermilk) from pasturized milk
the fuck are you talking about?

>>11399027
partially because French spellings are really poorly devised and antiquated. French spelling should either be reformed or French speakers should never expect others to pronounce their words properly

>>11398579
Roly-poly Chuff-and-wheely

>>11398954
Can confirm.
I went to Quebec and there was a fucking moldy shack called ''La cabin a patate'' in the middle of buttfuck nowhere on the country road.
Exactly as you described it was some strange old lady with missing teeth, slight exophthalmos and a few extra pounds who only ever spoke French and she ran the whole place with her husband in the back of house.
The place was filled with local truckers and old locals who looked like they came straight out of a Louisiana swamp.
The poutine had seasoned double-fried thick steak fries that were probably each hand cutted from the back of the shack and used fresh mozzarella in tiny curds.
This was the fucking highlight of my trip to Canada.

>>11397174
Poutine is fucking gross
>Gravy is always sticky and gross
>DUDE FRIES LMAO
>Literally mold sprinkled on

>>11399085
You driving that to take your daughter to a nuzzy guzzy fresh and fluzzy? Don't name shit like that. You'll sound brain-damaged like the Brits.

>>11399097
literally mold?

>>11397823
If that's Canada's culinary contribution then that's fucking pathetic

>>11399036
Cheeses made from pasturized milk are bland as fuck. America also homogenizes it's milks which adds a step in cheese making that's why you only see shit like fried cheese curds in states like Wisconsin where raw milk is legal

>>11399108
"""Cheese""" curds

>>11397596

only a true cunt like yourself could prefer "velveeta" over poutine. do you put in your coffee too, fatty?

>>11399097
Cheeae curds are fresh, not aged or innoculated. I wish people as retarded as you are had the foresight to kill themselves. That goes double if you're "ironically" shitposting.

>>11399121
Do you not understand what cheese curds are Or not understand what mold is?

Cheese curds are definitely not "literally mold"

>>11399121
Curd is pre-cheese, the stuff you age into cheese.
Cottage cheese and mozarella are just slightly processed curd.

>>11399113
There's a bunch of other ones but if you're trying to be this obtuse I guess nothing will be good enough for you.

>>11399114
Unfortunately a lot of us are aware the USDA is full of shit and old Americans are paranoid about food. Conflict of interests that should be illegal arise when advisory boards are on the Kraft payroll.

If a regulation was withdrawn and one person died people would panic and harsher regulations would be put into place because America forgot that we value liberty above security. We're fucked because we've been lacking a food culture for too long and people are willing to sacrifice freedom for maybe saving a life (though it might kill or weaken others) in a country of over 330 million. That's not what the US was supposed to be.

>>11397596
I just want to say, as an American, that you're a cunt for calling American cheese "cheese".

>>11397596
200% yikes

>>11398769
>It's made with bolognese sauce instead of gravy.
Oh fugg that sounds amazing

>>11399195
It's actually pretty mediocre. Every time I order one I end up wishing I'd have ordered a normal one.
The only variations on poutine I liked better than the original were a foie gras one and a duck confit one.

>>11399161
Completely agree I also think liberals are unironically to blame for this some Republicans made raw milk legal and got a stomach ache from it and left wing media pounced on it as proof that it was going to cause Tuberculosis or something which is retarded as we can totally test for that type of stuff now so long as the cow doesn't have mast and the teets are clean you are good to go

>>11399151
Coffee and donuts isn't Canadian either lol. Stay mad, faggot

>>11399446
Thanks for proving my point

>>11397174
I think it's because we're used to having some crunch texture with cheese.

>>11399240
In Florida you'd probably find them in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, or Miami. That's where Quebec's boomers spend winter so they most likely opened a poutine joint somewhere around there.

>exclusively part of Quebec culture

Funny how this applies to a lot of stuff we associate with Canada, but I'll admit that since the country itself started with Quebec most of it is understandable.

>>11399806
>exclusively part of Quebec culture
Literally every university town has poutine joints open at 3am filled with drunk students getting their greasy post-drink fill.
Quebec's still salty because New France lost the wars and was absorbed into Canada.

If poutine is cultural appropriation then so is the necktie, which French fops stole from Croatian soldiers.
