this is gonna make a canadian shit timbits, but go find a nice tearable mozzarella (not hard, not pre-shredded) and use that. for the best experience, use some gravy leftover from a roast beef or something (powdered really won't do it justice), and make some twice-fried french fries so they hold up longer.

I had it a few times in Montreal last year. It's not something I would get super attached to like ramen but it was good. I went to Poutine Centrale in Hochelaga. A very respectable slop food. Montreal was so comfy. It was so quaint how the hobos spoke French. A very beautiful dump and I honestly miss it. Thanks, wuhan. I'm from southern california.

Canadian here. The best poutine is made exactly this way. I've eaten it from Coast to coast and I can tell you, the further you get away from Quebec, the better the stuff gets.

The froggies love thier "Restaurants Lapierre" and their "Labelle Provence" but there are local shit iter fast food joints that think steamed hot dogs and other circus food are haute cuisine.

Best fires for poutine? This way: Peel potatoes, use Idaho russetts, big bakers. Then cut and wash fries in cool water. Get the starch off. Next bring pot of water to the boil. Dunk fries in water and cook til half cooked through. Translucent edges. Dry off, spread on cookie sheet and cool off in fridge. Next, heat oil in pan to 130C or 266F. Do small batches for about 5 min each batch. Lay fries out on cookie sheet and back into fridge til cold. Re-heat oil to 180C or about 350F and cook fries til golden.

Then do as you say with the cheese and gravy.

Best poutine ever.

>hurr durr muh gravy makes the fries soggy
Let's clear something up for all the fags who don't get it. The kind of fries used to make poutine are not crispy. Ever. They come out of the oil (that hasn't been changed for weeks) brown, greasy, soft and soggy. That's how they're supposed to be, and that makes them perfect for the purpose of the dish. Nobody outside of Quebec had an actual poutine. Everyone else in Canada use crisp, golden fries for their shitty attempt at poutine, and they're fucking retarded for it. They made it their national dish, yet they don't even know how to make it properly.

I've ordered a bag of cheese curds from amazon before. To be fair ordering perishable food online isn't really something most people would consider because it's faster to just drive to a grocery store. Cheese curd is literally one of the very few exceptions because they're not openly stocked in American grocery stores.

being completely objectively wrong about poutine getting (better) the further away you get from Quebec

Well I disagree. The worst poutines I've had, have all been in Quebec. The best, at a joint on Vancouver Island run by a Belgian Chef called "The Vine". But it's all opinion though right?

As for the recipe, I didn't google it. It's how Belgians and Dutch fry shacks make "french" fries. I'm Canadian If you really want to get authentic, render suet down for the cooking oil, or do half peanut oil and half rendered suet.

Cheese curds are the salted, fresh curds of curdled milk. You add heat, add renet, cut the curd, press out the way, add salt, keep pressing, slice and serve.

Full honesty time, I had not heard of it before I discovered poutine. Everytime I google it in my native language it just comes up with recipes for making it yourself, and apparently the milk you need to make it aint that easy to "just get".

It's just unpasteurized milk. You get it from any cow.
If your country has any faint semblance of a dairy industry then you can find it easily.

[Anonymous No.14763519]

>>14763497
From what I read on a housewife site, the best way to get unpasteurized milk is to get in contact with a dairy farmer. Seems like a lot of hassle for some hangover food.
I realize that that statement makes sound like the biggest retard on this board right now, so I'm just gonna admit that right away and take my leave.

Well, if you are drunk... You've already destroyed your palette for the evening. I'm sure you had a fun experience and that you enjoyed yourself, but I'll stick to my opinion that I've had better poutine on the West Coast than I ever had in Montreal and that (I think we agree here) that the best fries are made in the Netherlands or Belgium.
