Shawarma poutine is pretty dope

>>17933144
Shaw what?

>>17933144
I like poutine and shawarma but they are surprisingly incompatible imo
I like butter chicken or la galvaude
Captcha: MG00D

>>17933120
add anything it sounds good
i had poutine in montreal with like 6 different meats piled high on it damn it was good

DISCO FRIES> POUTINE
SORRY BUT THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS
CANADA GOT NOTHIN ON JERSEY

>>17933750
Now we're talkin

>>17933740
nigga have you ever had lamb shawarma? that meat on poutine would be mint.

i like it with very dirty beef gravy
like the kind with extremely well done meat chunks in it

>>17935206
no

>>17935496
If you are in the ottawa area the royal rooster is pretty dope

>>17933120
i visited canada once and there was a place in niagra called smokeys or woodies and they did spicy bacon poutine
one of the best things i ever ate so i ate 2 boxes

>>17935546
smokes poutinery, you went to the mcdonalds of poutine

>>17935556
oh really?
huh i thought it was really nice

>>17935588
I mean it's not bad but it's a franchise all over the country

>>17935539
Nope, I'm in Shawinigan (Quebec).

>>17933120
Just eggs, guanciale and pecorino romano like you are supposed to.

fries are overrated and thus poutine is overrated

>>17935995
Ah so you guys don't have a bunch of hadjis and shawarma spots eh?

>>17935613
In a way, isn't that slightly more authentic?

>>17936043
not that I know of.

>>17936148
Shitty deal
>>17936100
Is mcdonalds more authentic than a local shop?

>>17936039
Awwww someone's mommy didn't bake his Frenchie fries the right way cause she didn't love him.

>>17936163
>Is mcdonalds more authentic than a local shop
To our current society yes

>>17936179
Fair, desu outside of quebec and places near the border, smokes is prolly the best poutine you are going to get. Fuckin toronto is grim and I can only imagine other places.

>>17936184
Smokes is rank. NYF is okay if you're desperate, even then I'd recommend getting one of the modded up ones like the butter chicken.
Poutine is simply better left to Jean-Guy's roadside casse-croûte or Lucien's geezer diner that specializes in hot chicken sandwiches (pic rel)

>>17933120
lets not. it's overrated and gay.

>>17936478
I only had it loaded in toronto, live in ottawa so I just get good poutine

>>17936503
no, you're gay. I just called for one.

>>17936515
Pizza Italie in Hull is a dump but their poutine is mind-blowing, better than La Pataterie Hulloise or Fritomania imo. Don't know why it goes so under the radar. Open til 4am too

:D Time to get fatter

>>17936577
I haven't been over to hull at those hours since I was 18. Is Le bop still open in case I feel like catching a case fucking a 14 year old girl or committing a hate crime?

>>17936539
Called for one what, a gay male hooker? Fag.

>>17936515
i wish i had something like elgin street diner near me

>>17936617
ESD is fuckin dogshit

>>17936604
Idk, first and last time I ever went clubbing was at Le Volt which has been shut for years

>>17933120
too /fit/ to even conceive of consuming chips, let alone those bathed in gravy abd cheese

>>17936606
a poutine, you fag.

>>17936643
I checked google and yeah volt became bop and bops closed now. maison is still open tho

>>17936677
Good fucking riddance

>>17936709
What you didn't like fuckin 14 year olds in the washroom and fighting 40 year old haitians?

>>17936715
Poutine over poon any day

>>17936724
Why not both?

>>17936727
Because I'm a faggot

>>17933120
I prefer the other Canadian delicacy.

>>17936728
fair
>>17936730
needs some hotdogs

>>17936732
>>17936730
What the fuck I had kd w/ ketchup and hotdogs growing up as a kid in Canada. I haven't had this for probably 20 years but I am hungry right now and it sounds delicious.

>>17936730
I only ate kraft diner once in my life and it was the foulest shit ever. People have not fucking taste

>>17933750
I've never heard of disco fries. What exactly are they?

>>17936577
pizza italie is a fucking lifesaver since nobody on the frog side of the river feels like working after 10pm. That """"24h""" mcdonalds on maisonneuve needs the wrath of god on it for consistently blocking their drivethrus when they feel like not working after 9pm

>>17936730
>Ketchup on Mac n cheese
Jesus fucking Christ, you people are not human.

>>17933120
There’s this Irish pub I go to that makes poutine with corned beef and it’s amazing

So, do any of you guys make your own poutine at home? What recipe do you use for a gravy or do you just use a packet of gravy mix?

>>17937729
i usually make a traditional gravy whenever i sear beef for anything (unless its a stew where i use it), just plain jane with beef broth to deglaze and butter/flour to thicken, and whatever herbs I've got stocked. I double fry the fries just so they can sop up as much as possible, and in Canuckistan you can find cheese curds stocked pretty often. Throw it together when you're plastered, and you're golden. That said, make sure the gravy's nice and thick, it should never be too runny. Also, traditionally, crispy fries arent the proper way of going about it, I just like the coating holding onto more sauce. A single fry is more than enough.

>>17937745
Neat. I don't usually like to deep fry stuff so I just bake my fries at different temps (coated with oil/spices and baked at 375F for 20 min and 425F for 10-20 min, depending on thickness). I admit I'm lazy when it comes to gravy and just use the $2 packets from the store. Eh, it's tasty enough for me.

>>17933750
So just poutine but with shredded cheese

>>17933120

Metro Detroiter here, and I’d like to know why we can’t get poutine anywhere here, when Canada is literally nextdoor?

There was a brew pub that had a really good poutine with pulled pork but they went out of business several years back.

>>17936640
really? i went once and it was good. open 24h too

>>17937758
fair enough, its just basic drunk food anyway (which is why its amazing how often it gets botched by using runny gravy or mozzarella instead of curds). As long as you got fries with thick gravy and curds, you'll have a good time

>>17937773
You're not allowed to have cheese curds

>>17937712
Finally somebody fucking acknowledges that Pizza Italie exists. Ottawans are awful for shilling meme restaurants, there are so many great hidden gems here

>>17937889
yeah, especially around nepean and gloucester, byward/bank have good spots but being the tourist hotspot its basically just a honeypot to steal your money. The best shawarma around IMO used to be near Blair & Ogilvie, but sadly they moved down to the south end at some point and are no longer around.

>>17933120
Had this when I went to a Rangers game a while ago. Potato chips topped with gravy, bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, jalapeños, and brisket.

>>17933120
I don't like bacon on my poutine. Too salty. The gravy and fries already bring that. Just give me a garnish of green onions and leave it plain otherwise.

>>17937905
I'm a west endfag, what's the shawarma place?
Actually my favourite shawarma place was Castle on Rideau in the early 2010s, their spicy garlic sauce was unbelievably good and I lament that I will never experience such a flavour sensation again. They got shitty in their final years though.
Imo Shawarma Palace is overrated but the one in Barrhaven is consistently good. Just pissed they replaced the pickled turnips with cabbage. Ottawa Shawarma on Greenbank is also great

>>17937906
That sounds good except for the chips

>>17937793

You'd think some restaurants hereabouts would have poutine on the menu but that's just not the case.

>>17937984
To be fair there is no good poutine in Windsor or any of southern Ontario for that matter

>>17937972
man, i barely go out there for food so I can't help ya, and its been a while since i ventured for shawarma. With the price of fucking everything these days, Ive been trying to stick to home cooking to afford gas lol. Around Hull though, La Palais Libanais makes some good stuff albeit it can be a bit greasy depending who's on kitchen staff that day, and how deep into the potato tray they are.

>>17937972
west end like kanata or like carlingwood? Shits fuckin retarded these days.

>>17938008
I've seen Le Palais Libanais a million times but never considered going in, what's good there?
>>17938026
College area. Shawarma desert, what with Osmow's appealing to Torontofags at res. One of the worst shawarmas I've had other than the old Shawarma Deluxe on Dalhousie

>>17937724
>NO, YOU CAN'T MIX CHEESE FLAVOR WITH TOMATO FLAVOR, THAT'S WEIRD AND WRONG!
lol

Ville-Marie, Québec last summer
Uma delica

what the fuck are cheese curds and why do people use them
fucking disgusting holy shit
I just shred some fresh mozza on mine

>>17938409
>what the fuck are cheese curds
It's basically "baby cheddar". Not aged, not really processed, just made and cut up as quick as possible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_curd

>>17938424
Dang, that doesn't sound good. Why does it not melt? When I make poutine I usually make a bone broth gravy after cooking a roast or a chicken or something, and I just use frozen fries since I'm too lazy to dice up my own potatoes. Then I shred cheese, add smoked paprika and cayenne and its great. The mozza melts around everything.

>>17938409
NGMI
Mozza isn't sharp enoughmsxgr

>>17938435
You've never had aged mozza? The slightly yellow but sharp stuff?
Unfortunate. Also, it melts and wraps around the fries better.

>>17933120
turkey stuffing poutine
and then a big nap

>>17938433
It does melt and it is pretty tasty. I don't know exactly why it was chosen as the cheese to use, but I'd wager that it's used because it's cheap and easy to make. As another anon mentioned above, it isn't really "haute cuisine" and is mostly a "drunk night on the town to deal with munchies" dish.

>>17938409
then it isn't poutine
seethe all you want you'll still be wrong

>>17938435
Captcha fuck me up
You need fresh cheddar curds, none of this refrigerated shit. It squeaks when you bite into it.

>>17938401
Thats the real shit right there

>>17938450
Ahh. Well I only make my own so
>>17938454
seethe, cope, dial 8 loser

>>17938485
Well, I figure if it isn't too salty and is full of carbs and fat that it's good enough to eat. Why be pretentious with it, it's tasty and filling. What else do you need?

>>17938255
Ketchup is not tomato flavored despite being made of it, it's sugar and vinegar flavored. Imagine covering cheese with sugar and vinegar, that's exactly what you're doing.

>>17936730
Do you.. not do this south of the border? I had just assumed.

>>17938505
Vinegar's great, and saying ketchup has no tomato flavor is retarded.

>>17938226
ive only had the usual trio, not stellar but consistently good

>>17938531
Vinegar is great, and pickles with cheese is great. But a sweet vinegar is nasty especially with cheese. Are you seriously gonna sit your fat ass down and tell me you think ketchup taste at all like tomatoes? Have you never eaten an actual tomato before or are you so full of ego and bullshit that you would really sit your fat greasy ass down and think you can just blatantly lie like that?

>>17938666
>fat
I've in my mid-thirties and have been underweight my entire adult life.
>you think ketchup taste at all like tomatoes?
Yes, you retard. Ketchup doesn't taste identical to tomato sauce but, once again, saying it has no tomato taste to it is just stupid. Tomato and vinegar are its two main flavor components. The sugar part is less important. You could take out the sugar and ketchup would still taste mostly like ketchup. Vinegar is the ingredient that really gives it its characteristic distincton from straight tomato sauce.

>>17938700
>Tomato sauce
Yea you pretty much just confirmed you've never eaten an actual tomato in your entire life, you fat grease ball.

>>17938751
I'm comparing a condiment to a condiment. Are you trying to claim even tomato sauce doesn't taste like tomatoes now? The salt does add a lot to the flavor but that's still fucking stupid. Also not sure why you feel the need to continue pretending I'm fat. An easy mac cup is 220 calories and a restaurant packet sized quantity of ketchup is 10 calories, though also I've had chronic intestinal ulcers since back when I was still in high school and even if I wanted to get fat I couldn't. Closest I can get to keeping my weight up is by adding in those high calorie Boost / Ensure type shakes, but only make it to 140 lb at best which is disappointingly skinny for my height. I'm guessing you're the fat one here and just projecting.

>>17938823
>I'm comparing a condiment to a condiment
Yea we normally call that moving the goal post. Tomato completely changes it's flavor once it's cooked, especially once it's reduced. That's how I know you've never eaten a fresh tomato your entire life you fat greasy neckbeard.

>>17938869
My grandpa was into gardening. I've eaten a fresh non-store tomato before. You're a fat retard who can't stop projecting, sorry.

>>17933120
Poutine is divine in all forms and shapes.

>>17938908
Lmao and the lies just keep coming. Is it that your parents didn't care enough about you to give you fresh veggies and fruits or are you from a poor mud country that's too stupid to grow them yourselves?

>>17933120
Montreal smoked meat, braised beef, pulled pork all make excellent poutine toppings. Anything is good though. I once chopped up a mcdouble and threw it in some 'tine.

If making it at home, keep in mind that you need beef AND chicken stock for the gravy

Poutine and pogos in Sturgeon Falls, ON
Most bilingual community in Canada AKA illeterate in both languages

being in BC sucks, the 2 canadian delicacies, donair and poutine, fucking suck here, there might be like, one place that has good fries at all in vancouver.

>>17939106
Be happy you don't have to deal with continuous snow cover from November to April

>>17933120
I'm Canadian line cook and we sell poutine were i work, i love to put bacon bit and jalapenos on mine. Probably my favorite way to eat it

What are we getting poutinebros? I'm thinking La Reggae for me.

>>17939304
Hate to be a cunt but La Banquise is shit
I've been there three times and each time it was a massive disappointment, especially given you have to wait in line for half an hour just to sit in an un-air-conditioned chicken cage with loads of tourists

>>17938998
Keep on crying about fresh tomatoes, fatty. You lost the argument.

>>17933120
man that looks delicious

>>17939439
Lmao, I've never met someone so devoid of self reflection.

>>17939482
Fortunately you're an idiot who insists tomato products contain zero hints of tomato flavor and don't have rational opinions.

how long are you two gonna drag this insanely stupid argument for

>>17938450
Historically, cheese curds came about when the government introduced milk quotas. Farmers would make cheese instead of discarding all the milk.

>>17938433
>Dang, that doesn't sound good
The imported US stuff is nasty because it's been out for too long, but day fresh cheese curds are great. And they do melt, but at higher temps. Cheese curds are meant to be squishy to begin with, no need to melt them. The goal of a poutine isn't to melt the cheese, it's to have cheese curd bites. Shredded cheese just make it terrible.

Also, I don't get the obsession with "crispy" fries americans have. Poutine is way better with freshly cut chunky soft fries.

>>17937729
I get my curds and frozen fries (prepped via air fryer) and jarred gravy all from Lidl

steak fries are my favorite shape

>>17939612
>Also, I don't get the obsession with "crispy" fries americans have. Poutine is way better with freshly cut chunky soft fries.
Yep, I don't get this about the yanks. Every bong, aussie and kiwi I know absolutely adores poutine but Americans are always incredibly autistic about muh crispy fries

>>17933750

"I want a poutine insteadof squeaky curds give me mozza." So you want an inferior poutine?

>>17939501
Lmao let me guess, you're french aren't you? Smelly frog.

>>17937441
And that's why you suck dicks for a living? The taste?

>>17937927
This man knows his shit

>>17933120
Do quebecians really

wtf is poutine

>>17943175
French fries, gravy and cheese curds. Basically drunk/hang over food.

>MUH REAL CHEESE CURDS
>IF THEY'RE NOT REAL AUTHENTIC CANADIAN CHEESE CURDS IT'S NOT POOTINE
this is why no one likes you guys
it's fucking cheese and gravy on fries and you have to treat it like it's carbonara

>>17943536
>he cant adhere to the 3 basic building blocks that define a recipe
you can call it something else if you want, but if its this dead simple to nail the ingredients you have no excuse to bitch and moan

>>17944364
If you cook it correctly, they win

>>17944366
that's why i always cum in my carbonara

Is this the shitting on Canada thread? It is? Okay thanks.

Your country is one of cuckolds, you base you entire national identity on being “not American” despite the entirety of your middle class being an almost exact copy of ours. Your country is one big brain drain, your forever cucked to the French and their little prissy rules, and you are unironically integrating tranny speak into your language and laws.

Get fucked, you should have stopped sucking English cock 300 years ago.

>>17945202
just put the curds in and stop whining

I make my own poutine using my own sauce and fries. Since you need sauce espagnol(tomato-based chicken stock), I often put chicken in my poutine. Breaded chicken filet, but if I was lazy I would just use frozen tendies and frozen fries. However never compromise on the sauce, since it's so easy to do and all the store ones are trash.

>>17945636
Meh st huberts sauce is good enough for me for a greasy home poutine. Curly fries, st huberts poutine gravy and st alberts cheese curds.

>>17936026
Carbonara poutine might actually be pretty good ngl

>>17945897
disgusting, you say that because it's the only thing you know
St-Hubert(the restaurent) has declined heavily in the past decade, now it's shit as fuck
the coq/benny are better if you want something similar and their poutine sauce/gravy is better spiced too

>>17946583
QQ smelly quebexican
