Now it's chocolate milk with some Oreos combo time!

>>18148343
is it true all worthwhile Canadian cuisine is just French cuisine because taking inspiration from English cuisine was just sad?

>>18148388
Montrealers tend to have poor hygiene, I would have to guess the culture is from the smegma on their unwashed hands.

>>18148343
I think it used to be better 10-20 years ago

> better quality cheese
> better cheese to fries ratio

They cut costs with shit cheese and a lot of fries. Whoever invented the single portion bag of cheese ruined it for all of us. If the guy preparing the poutine is not dunking his hairy hand in a large bag of cheese it's not a good poutine place. He should also press down the fries with the cheese, not sprinkle it on top of the fries. It should also be fries, cheese, sauce, fries, cheese, sauce. Not just 3 steps.

QC here, I eat a poutine every week/every 2 weeks. It's just fast food.

IMO steamed hot dogs are a better delicacy in this shit town than poutine.

I think if I wanted to do a great job of it I'd make the fries and gravy for it from scratch, but I'm too lazy. I'd rather use gravy mix and frozen fries that I thaw and then pan-fry.

all the ingredients of poutine sound like they'd work amazing together... fries, gravy, cheese curds etc. and yet... it tastes like shit?

>>18150714
Chili cheese fries.

>>18151281
Because poutine isn't a broadly Canadian thing. It is a Quebec/French Canadian thing. I would be vary wary of any "poutine" in Windsor

>>18151770
very*

I don't get why they don't do it with waffle fries instead so it's easier to scoop up the cheese curds

>>18151770
I want to hang whoever memed poutine into being a "national dish". It's retarded, now every restaurant and their fucking neighbour from coast to coast does a poutine when 20 years ago it was just that thing your buddy said you had to try when you were driving past Montreal.

>>18148347
Don't let them get you down. Canada is Ground Zero for disgusting things.

>>18148343
Quebecers have a pastry called, and I shit you not, nuns farts. Be very wary of the food coming out of there

you're off your rocker anon

>>18151789
>i don't get why they don't make hot dogs with hamburger buns, you get better grip

>>18152560
Actually, Canada has pretty equivalent laws. There's an exception in certain parts of Quebec where cheese curds can be sold fresh on the day they're made, but otherwise they're held to the standards of all cheese products and need to be cold aged for at least 30 days to protect against bacteria. Most poutine in Canada is made with aged cheese curds nowadays, which are completely legal to sell in the US.

>>18152570
most poutine in canada is garbage as well, you need the fresh stuff

Every time. Jesus Christ, the fries are supposed to be soggy, it's a plate of greasy sloppa mush that you eat while completely shitfaced. Even without pouring the gravy on, the best kind of fries for poutine (used in most cantines) comes out of the fryer brown and soft.

>>18156308
yeah good home alternative, but it doesn't really compare to the real stuff now does it

I first had a poutine knockoff at Buffalo wild wings. The key difference was they used breaded deep fried cheese curds. I've tried to seek out poutine again and can't say I've ever enjoyed it as much made the normal Canadian way

How's Québec and Québec's cuisine ? Thinking of visiting.
t. frog

>>18159389
not that different from the rest of Canada or the US desu, except in french. Montreal is diverse in population though so you get good food of all cultures in one place and cheaper than p much anywhere in north america. make sure to not visit in the winter cause its horrid

What is a decent alternative to cheese curds? The best I figured was white cheddar.

>>18160387
it's whatever you want at that point cause it doesn't matter, it won't be the same

>>18160387
It's mild, like mozzarella. I think if you know an italian store, those bocconcini might work. Most poutine in Canada and the US is made with cold-aged curds, anyways, so the difference is negligible.

>>18159389
montreal is one of the only canadian cities worth shit culturally and in terms of transit.

>>18151770
poutine isn't great outside of QC but it is everywhere. you can get it at almost all fast food places.

>>18160387
>>18160406

Don't listen to this guy, most poutines in Canada and the US that use cold-aged curds aren't the real deal

straight up costco has good ass poutine

>>18160439
That's the point, retard. It's not the real deal, just the garbage being peddled out at a national scale. Most people settle for it on a daily basis, even in Que-fucking-beck. Fresh cheese curds only exist in a few fucking places and the rest is shelf-stable garbage being sold by faggots capitalizing on a trend.

it squeaks when its freshest you troglodyte

>>18148343

The thing about poutine is its not worth the excessive calories, fat and sodium unless it is extremely well made. Poutine is only as good as its weakest ingredient, and people underestimate how difficult it is to make every ingredient in a poutine good enough to justify eating it.

For example, the cheese curds you use need to be freshly made either the same day or the night before. Its really only possible to get curds like that if you live next to a creamery or a factory outlet (for example Fromagerie Le Detour). The fries you use have to be hand cut, frozen, double fried and allowed to crisp+dry in an oven until they are so crispy they crack instead of tear. Finally, the gravy needs to be made of roasted pork, beef and chicken drippings and needs to be very carefully seasoned and browned, typically with something like kitchen bouquet which is not widely available. It also must be salted in proportion to the salinity of your curds as well as your fries, which is mostly up to personal preference. All this, and that is not even mentioning extra toppings like onions, mushrooms, pulled pork, steak, etc which some would argue have absolutely no place on a poutine.

If you're not willing to make poutine perfectly, don't bother because it wont be worth the heart-attack.

source: Canadian that takes poutine seriously because bad poutine is trash but good poutine is one of the best things in the fucking world.

>>18162340
Pretty much, but i'd argue about the fries.
Crispy is good sure, but the regular soggier potato shack fries are way more common/authentic.
Brown and bendy, cooked in peanut oil.

Also fresh cheese gets delivered day of to restos and grocery stores, you don't need to be neighbors with a cheese place.

I'm a Quebec anon. I have mixed feelings about it. It tastes good, not the greatest, but not bad, but just standard poutine is kind of bland, you really need extra stuff on there like onions, peppers, meat, etc. It's kind of a comfort food, like McDonald's I guess, although the best poutine is the kind with greasy ass fries you get from local places.
I'm conflicted about it's perception in the rest of the world though. On one hand I feel a certain sense of pride that a local export is known abroad, however it is a meme novelty food, and I have a dislike for meme novelty food trends. It also annoys me when ROC anglocucks try to take credit for it.

>>18149643
Youzz always welcome anglo bro.

>>18163314

Yes, they are way more common/authentic but if I was cooking for myself or people I love I would make sure the fries stay crispy because we deserve it. Just because its common doesn't mean its better.

not trying to post epic wholesome canada moment trash but it's genuinely true for me, i don't think i've had poutine in over a decade but my experiences ordering it as hot slop from a concession stand have been far more pleasurable than any time i've paid for "good" poutine at a restaurant

>>18164860

Without emotion, my heartstrings played; snapped and severed to this tragic serenade.
It wounds me to look at, but how is it?

>>18167041
where from?

I'm just gonna pile up on top of everyone.

Poutine is from Québec not Canada.

Fries have to be soggy and thick.

Cheese has to squeak, idgaf if it's cold aged or anything. I want my cheese to not melt immediately, it's fine after I had a few bites of the fresh stuff on top. This means you can't get that shit delivered.

The gravy is the hardest part to nail, I like a lighter colored gravy that has lots of pepper. The gravy is always going to be salty enough that those fries better be fucking plain.

The only topping I'll allow is bits of crispy almost overcooked bacon, not chunks.

A taller serving vessel will beat a wide one. This is so you can layer the cheese and sauce throughout.

Road side shacks in "saint-whateverthefuck" small towns almost always end up making better poutine. I'm gonna assume this is because it's not just added to the menu for no reason. A good cantine will have a small, often handwritten, menu and the poutine section will probably only consist of sizes not types or topping. If the place your going to has 17 million poutine options it's a tourist trap. When you actually live in Québec you'll often have a regular poutine as a side. I'm not saying it's exclusively eaten as a side with no special topping, I'm saying that's the most common way.

Do chili cheese fries exist in Canada?

Merkins and non-pubic wigs, Poutine is not the reason to visit Quebec. The real reason is the variety of beer. You could stay at an Air Bnb in an apartment building, and the depanneur attached to the lobby will have a fridge full of magical potions that you've never even heard of.

Also, Club Super Sexe and Foufounes Electriques if you're near the University on St. Catherine Ouest.

Boys, whats the best poutine from a fast food place? I think A&W is pretty decent

>>18168414
i'd sooner go to Smoke's or New York Fries desu

You can't really get it this far from Canada.

>>18168414
Best fast food chain ones are either Belle Province or Lafleur
If you're talking multinationals the bar is low, but yeah I guess A&W and McDicks are okay

>>18168434
Can't stand Smoke's lol

>>18168571
I cannot qualify McDicks poutines as actual poutine. Their fries, the sauce are all awful.

>>18165306

I have the most sensible thoughts about poutine.

Quebec has good cuisine and lots of beautiful history, but the people have the biggest chip on their shoulder and act like they aren't the wealthiest most subsidised and privileged territory in all of Canada. They constantly maintain the idea that they are seperate and that poutine must not be considered a national delicacy otherwise it undermines their precious individuality from the rest of Canada, the country that they live in in which they constantly mock online at every turn. However, there's no fucking border stopping anyone from going in and out of Quebec so poutine has flourished around the country as a warm comfort item when winter settles in. People don't give a fuck that french people added cheese to a Scottish dish, Quebec doesn't own poutine and can't gatekeep it no matter what the autists here try to assert. A Winnipeg man inventing garbage bags certainly doesn't make Winnipeg gatekeep garbage bags from Quebec.

If anyone tries to treat poutine like NYC pizza in that you aren't eating the "real shit" outside Quebec then they're morons. The best poutine I've ever had was from a chip truck in my small town in Renfrew county outside a military base in the parking lot of a car wash. The second best is from an Italian pizza chain called milanos. Buddy's chip shack is also fucking decent and if you're ever in the Toronto airport I suggest you pickup a box.

That's all I hafta say about that.

>>18169293
I hear you, bud. I can tell you, however, that the main thing that urges me to cling to my special snowflake status and not identify with the undifferentiated miasma that is Canadian identity is hearing Canadians talk about Canada. I'd rather be part of a conquered, beaten people raging against the dying of the light than the greeter at the biggest walmart for pajeets in the world. There's just more romance to it, you know. The only people who talk about Canada like it might be worth fighting for are the ones who hate Quebecers the most, although I guess that makes sense.

>chip truck in my small town outside a military base in the parking lot of a car wash
funny, that's where you get the best poutines here too

>>18148347
What a loser lmao

>>18151281
I'm 30 mikes south of Vancouver BC and there's no poutine around here.

>>18169668
I live in Vancouver and frankly we shouldn't have poutine here either, but we do. I will never get how or why they memed it into a national dish awhile back and now we all have to suffer. Like, imagine if they tried to make New Jersey disco fries the national dish of the US; that's how retarded it is.

>>18148347
>>18148343
Disco fries are the same thing but significantly easier to assemble.
Just use crinkle cut fries, a beef gravy seasoned with Worcestershire and mozzarella.
Ideally you wanna put the mozz before the gravy and keep the gravy piping hot so it all melts together.
Serve with plastic forks inside a diner basket.
Crack open beer and enjoy.

>>18167629
Thanks for reporting.
Fries do look weird.

>>18169486
Is it just me, or do the ones with the least personality - who look you like they don't speak your language whether you greet them in English or French - make the best of the best? I think it might just be true for all shacks, carts and trucks.

>>18169486
Sorry, I felt that this was worth a separate point: You can maintain your individuality while moving forward with a group, it just involves some code switching in certain situations. I'm Métis first, Québécois second, and Canadian third. Its only when parts of these factions are at war with the others that it ever presents a problem for me, and even then, these days it's usually just a handful of assholes or ass kissers.

Our nation's become a shithole and poutine is (intentionally) sloppy. You guys need to take off the rose-coloured glasses. I'd honestly move to the US if I could, maybe start a diner-style "authentic Canadian restaurant", but economic citizenship is fucking expensive and they don't give free rides to white immigrants.

The menu would probably include poutine (made from Idaho potatoes and Wisconsin cheese curds), maple-bacon burgers (with real Vermont maple syrup and Minnesota bacon), etc. For desert, butter tarts (the menu explains these are just mini pecan pies with raisins).
I'd do weekly specials for less popular but actually authentic regional dishes like pate chinois or chips/dressing/gravy.

I call it: "Leafy Treason"

>>18173138
They'd make you join an NHL team,
I've never understood Chinese pie. Lamb (or beef), peas and potatoes don't strike me as particularly Chinese ingredients.

>>18173165
Fucking Americans have all the good NHL teams now. When was the last time a Canadian team won the cup? Nearly three fucking decades ago in 93.
Yeah, nobody can agree on why the fuck something that's just cheap/quick shepherd's pie is called pate chinois.

>>18173213
All winners are major markets, if you didn’t crack the code by now NGMI

>>18173165
yeah there are a few theories on the name origin but its contested

also there are three ingredients and you managed to fuck it up, its corn not peas

>>18173230
It's peas here. We're not all eating corn on our pizza like you cool kids in Montreal.

>>18173233
where are you from, even the wikipedia article has it right lol

>>18173240
I've been in Degelis for five years. It is firmly frozen or canned peas here, in Edmundston, and 50/50-ish in Moncton. Before that I'd maybe have pate Chinois once every few years... But yeah, I remember it being either corn or frozen veg medley.

>>18173233
Looks like you're not eating Pâté chinois™, just plain old Shepherd's pie my guy

>>18173264
It's probably why I've had a hard time differentiating my whole life (I just figured the French were racist about shepherds)... but they're certainly not calling it pâté baiseur des moutons, or calling anything anything at all in English around this neck of the woods if they can help it.

>>18173165
>I've never understood Chinese pie. Lamb (or beef), peas and potatoes don't strike me as particularly Chinese ingredients.
It's cheap slop we force-fed to chinese slaves working on railway construction.

Pate Chinois is steak haché- blé d'Inde -patate

>>18170090
I tipped the black dude working the cashier $5 to put a load on it

>>18174315
"Indian wheat" instead of the ubiquitous "Maize"... you guys are alright.

Americans can't make poutine for some reason, we always end up being pretentious and putting parmesan on it or not using cheese curds.

>>18148343
I want one now that i've seen this image. Is that fried chicken? Fuck me where can I get something like this.

>>18149391
Fries don't look that good imo. Best fries for poutine are chip truck fries

I've made it 3 times before and it tasted alright but I'm not a good cook and I go fast and loose with directions.

>>18176294
More liquid/less starch in the gravy. Other than that, it doesn't look like you're fucking it up too badly.

>>18176294
This looks atrocious. Looks like you used some kind of weird gravy rather than simple liquidy bbq sauce. Or your fries dissolved in it causing it to become even more of a messy slop than poutine usually is.

>>18176304
>>18176308
I was aiming for a thicker gravy because the first couple of times it was way too runny/watery.
It was a bit thicker than I wanted though.
Also the curds in it were mozzarella cheese sticks that I hastily tore up then let the gravy melt a little.

>>18148383
Are you implying that gravy is Canadian culture? Oh no...

>>18176331
The right consistency should be a syrupy dark brown bbq sauce. Unfortunately i've never made a homemade poutine that comes close to what I get at my usual poutine places so I can't really recommend a recipe. My best advice would be to find a recipe that has gravy that looks like what's covering this poutine, pic related.

>>18176403
>>18176308
>bbq sauce
You fool, it's a form of tea!

>>18149079
To be fair, it's mostly Ontarians that hate Quebecois. I can understand, as they have no culture of their own. What defines them? Tim Hortons double-doubles, Shania Twain, the Queen, that goofy-looking flag?

Quebec has nothing against Maritime provinces, the plains, and the west coast.

>>18176496
>Maritime provinces
Where they speak French?
>The plains
Where they speak French?
>The West Coast
That might as well be on the other side of the world?

I find it hilarious when Ontaroises bitch about Quebec. It's like listening to someone from Alabama bitching about Atlanta.

>>18176496
What do the great plains provinces have besides being Midwestern Americans living in Canada? Also the west coast has no character besides being half Chinese and the rest indistinguishable from west coast Americans.

>>18176777
As with the rest of this big, empty land, you have to look further than the old guard Scots and Dutch who aren't keeping track of anything but how green the grass is on the other side of the border, or how good things were back in a homeland they've never seen.
The art and music scenes out there are producing killer shit, but they're going through the same problem as the chefs in this country - you have to leave, and bring yourself back as an import in order to be seen as anything by your local peers.

>>18176205
fries, brown gravy, cheese curds

>>18176496

Alberta hates everyone because they're always footing the bill for everyone.

>>18176975
based wot poster

Francophonie carries on right to Newfoundland. Métis and Franco pockets aren't exactly uncommon in Manitoba and Alberta (less so in Spagatchewan). BC-QC interprovincial trade's somewhat limited by terrain and distance, where Ontario, the Maritimes, Maine, NY and Vermont are right there - less business usually leads to less bitching... usually. Alberta hates everyone because they're basically a Dakota with a Texas attitude, and the buying power of a prairie province.

The only place near me that does poutine serves it in these huge fuckoff portions for like 3 people.

>>18148343
>adding any sort of liquid to fries
>fries are now soggy
gimme ketchup or mayo or any kind of sauce on the side

>>18162340
How exactly is proper poutine sauce made because most places just use standard gravy and it's shit.
The authentic stuff has that special taste and I have no clue what the taste is.

>>18169293
truthposter, I kneel.

>>18167140
I really enjoyed it. I went back yesterday and got a Montreal style one. Which had champignon mushrooms and radish on it. It was yummy. Is the gravy supposed to be more like britbong gravy? Also I like the way you type, it makes me smile : )

>>18167156
It was this place that does chips with different toppings in Germany. Was on holiday.

>>18176205
Yes, that Poutine came from a Fusée restaurant:
Fried Chicken, with Fries, BBC sauce and cheese curds.

>>18177236
a bit of malt vinegar and some rosemary or poultry seasoning seems to fix it right up. Beef works if you're using beef stock - bouillon seems to need lightened with chicken. I'm not sure if it's right because the French side of my family think I "Belong back on the reserve," and won't tell me, but I've done up some poutines and beaver tails for backyard skating and fires once or twice, and everyone said it was like bringing the Rideau back home to Lac Brome, so I'm going with it.

>>18178514
>bringing the Rideau back home to Lac Brome
no clue what that means

>>18178979
There is/was a Beaver Tails shack in the middle of the Rideau that you have to skate to. The skating's pretty good on Lac Brome, but you have to supply your own fried dough.

>>18179033
gotcha

I was just thinking about poutine before coming here to say I have never had poutine in my entire life.

>>18149828
>unironically

I ate another Poutine again but this is getting a bad habit.

>>18149845
This looks great but when does it stop being poutine and simply becomes nachos?

>>18181104
That's chili cheese fries. I think tomato, onion, olives and/or lettuce makes it nacho chips.

>>18180756
yeah you gotta spread it out over like months, its not the kind of thing you want to be eating very often

>>18181104
>>18181139
nachos start with tortilla chips and cheese, so replace the waffle fries and you're there already

Gravy predates Escoffier, cheese predates the Franks, and chips might very well be Belgian. It's just as wrong to think their English, but at least the Britons can claim to drown all their food to death in gravy.

>frites sauce + bolognese
>2 toasted hot dogs
paulo et suzanne, montreal

>>18183364
First mentions of gravy are found in like medieval french cookbooks, and Belgian historians assert that fries are of French origin lol

I'll give you cheese, thats pretty universal since you can't really date it, even if French Switzerland is probably the uncontested land of cheese

>>18183837
The fatasses in Wisconsin would literally eat every man, woman, and child with 100km of the alps if they could find it on a map, and learn enough French, Italian, German or Romansh to understand them saying it.

>>18183440

>>18148343
I think Putin is a terrific fella

>>18184549
OP here, I don’t think there is a will or a thinking process involved. it just the way it went. italians and Greeks were making fast food and came up with receipes. Like Michigan hot dogs, is there an idea behind it or is it just opportunities?


btw i should have just get frites-sauce, the “””italian sauce””” onit was just too much for a Tuesday afternoon.

Chili cheese fries are better. Pouring some cheese sauce onto rectangle potatoes is better than lazily plopping curd chunks and letting the heat from the fries make all gross and gooey

When the bakers get a hold of wild game, it's fucking magical.

1 container of KFC gravy

French fries


Dip the French fries in the KFC gravy and enjoy. No cheese curds those arent generally liked here unless you’re a Wisconsin fag or a Beaner obsessed with goat cheese.

That's just fries and gravy. It used to be the more popular dish in Canada before poutine spread over the country like a plague.

>>18185913
I mean you can still ask for it wherever you can order poutine, but yeah people don't think to order that very much anymore

>>18148343
I made it for the first time today. Gonna give Canadians the benefit of the doubt and say I just didn't make it very good. But it was mid. It's just fucking soggy fries, gravy, with shit cheese. What's the appeal?

>>18187371
It's Quebecois drunk food. The gov't awhile back started pushing it because "hurr, Canada needs a national dish" while completely ignoring the fact that Canada is fucking huge and has regional cuisines. It's unironically now a meme pushed by the same people who still pretend Tim Hortons is Canadian and good.

>>18187371
Yeah its not the kind of thing you can really recreate at home let's say, gotta have it at a potato shack on the side of the road. It's not a fancy thing and it's easy to get wrong even if there are only 3 ingredients

>>18187381
>while completely ignoring the fact that Canada is fucking huge and has regional cuisines
such as........
only quebec has original food and culture, the rest is america 2.0

>>18148343
Don't have it.
I know a few places make them around here but never got around to going.

>>18148343
it's nice sometimes, but compared to nachos, it has nothing going on. The meat and cheese curds are both mediocre additions piggybacking on the delicious fries and gravy. It's the buffalo chicken pizza of frites. It says a lot about Canada that they have no notable food besides this and tree syrup. Imagine if texas only had frito pies and agave syrup, that's Canada

>>18148343
i live in Quebec, and i know not all poutines are made equal, they can be awful or awesome depending on the quality of the ingredients. i eat poutine once or twice a month,always in the same place, sometimes with caramelized onions and bacon or smoked meat.
i dont care what faggots may say, poutine is top tier fast food.

>>18169293
its all about the cheese.
