Why do Canadians act like they invented cheesy chips and gravy?

There was a period about a decade ago where the government felt the whole "Canadians have no unifying identity" thing wasn't a good look for the country, so they began pushing random regional meme dishes as "national cuisine" until one of them stuck. Pretty much every province had some cheap ass places that served loaded fries or fries and gravy, so it was easy enough to meme poutine into a "national dish".
It's a very hollow sort of lip service to a dish that a couple decades ago was just junky after-drinking food in Quebec.

I think I caught onto this conspiracy when I heard someone call chips, dressing, and gravy as "Newfie Poutine". The revisionism and homogenization is fucking disturbing.

Nobody makes fish and chips like british fish and chips whereas anyone can make cheesy chips and gravy.

>> No.16978689

Yeah, that's stuffing. Since it's usually made outside the bird, it's called dressing instead.
Nice hearty newfoundland sloppa.

Which canadian? Which one specifically? I need a name or I can't answer that question.

I probably can't answer it anyway unless the name you give is mine though, because I can't read minds but whatever.

The worst fish and chips I've ever had were in England. Nothing is ever caught fresh, there's at least twice as much batter as there is fish, and nothing is seasoned. The best fish and chips I've ever had was in Nova Scotia.

poutine uses curd, not cheese.

It's because it's easy. God forbid they come up with an actually unifying thing. What, a polity with distinct culturally divergent regions? Surely no one but Canada has ever had to deal with this. Better not look at the US, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, fucking China, we might get ideas!

we actually care about the dish, thats why no one cares about your "cheesy fries and gravy", and that's why poutine is ours. i find it hilarious that you tinkly winkly chickadee ding dong brits are always trying to shit on other countries' food. canada is literally a food culture wasteland with our cheese whiz and raspberry jam sandwiches, plain salted pork loin sandwiches and discount blocks of orange cheese and we STILL make you look bad. hopefully when you eventually emigrate here after you destroy your own country you won't miss the taste of rat feces and curry when you eat fish and chips here for the first time.

quebec created the dish
ameri-lards got obs*ssed with it
the dish then became meme-fied

some say you can still find local producers that do it the old school way around Saint-Germain-de-la-Graine-au-Fromage but it's a dying art, another regional curiosity killed by globalization
