So an american here who really wants to eat poutine.

Any general tips to make it? I know its a simple thing but I want to get it right and not just get a gooey mess.

Also is there any premade gravy I can buy so I don't have to make my own?

I hate you.
Gravy isn't hard to make, you ass. If you think you can attempt to make poutine, you can attempt to make gravy. Canned gravy is pig disgusting.

In can. Put chopped up hot dogs in it. Poutine is not a dish that begs for refinement.

Trader Joe's poutine is actually pretty ok. Needs more gravy tho.

Make some fucking beef gravy OP. It's not hard and the technique is one of the cooking basics. Not only will you get your homemade junk food, but you'll learn something and make /ck/ proud.

Is it microwaveable? I've never had poutine and this is probably my best bet.

FFS dude, it doesn't take that long to make gravy. You don't deserve poutine if you can't be arsed to make your own.

Are you too lazy or are you worried you might screw it up?

any beef gravy is fine, I'm sure you amerilards have canned beef gravy

you can even make it out of a powder if you have too

Canadian here.
I've only had poutine from 3 different places, 2 using curds, one that puts grated cheese on the fries and melts it with the gravy, and the latter is by far the best I've had, so I don't understand why everyone talking about poutine ever demands that curds be used.
That being said, definitely try the dish with curds, it's substantially different and the 'official' way to do it, IIRC. But don't be afraid to give regular cheese a go, either.

toronto go back to bed, cheese does not belong in poutine.

fresh, squeaky curd is the single most important aspect of poutine.

Cum should be an essential ingredient since people are fucking faggots when it comes to something like this.

Salut.

Do you want a "traditional" poutine? There are a lot of variations, some that do not use gravy (Poutine Italienne being the most common. It uses a tomato sauce with ground meat instead).

There was a restaurant on St-Denis in Montreal, Zero8, that due to being an allergen-free restaurant used duck fat instead of cheese curds. Fucking delicious. Unfortunately, they had to shut down because the entire latin quarter has become crazy expensive.

curd is the sole distinguishing feature of poutine. if you use cheese then you've just got disco fries.

it'd be like "chicken parmesan" with no parmesan.
