Alright, fucking leaves, are there variations to your magnifique poutine? If so, what are they? Explain your recipes.
>>7728468
Ah look - another British dish but with a French sounding name.
>>7728468
Having the gravy on the side is essential unless you want a soggy mess
>>7728647
Poutine literally means "mess"
>>7728650
Don't care
>>7728653
Well you should, you're going to keep doing it wrong otherwise.
>>7728647
>unless you want a soggy mess
M8, that's the whole fucking point of it. It's a cheesy soggy potatoey mess of hot goodness.
It's not high cuisine.
It's something you buy on the way home from the bar, maybe with a kebab. The man hands it to you, and you stagger down the road a ways, settle on some steps, and crack the tub open. It smells delicious, and then you take the first spoonful of the mush. It tastes delicious.
I accidentally stumbled upon the best place to eat it while in Montreal. Got it from a surprisingly big kebab shop, walked down to the steps of the art gallery, sat there, and ate it while watching the procession of cars.

>gravy on the side is essential
Even if I'd never visited Montreal and had poutine, I would still know enough about food (even just from being on /ck/, believe it or not) to know that putting the gravy on the side would completely defeat the purpose of the dish.

Chips and gravy in aus
>>7728468
There are an infinity of variations, which aren't really complex. Depending on the restaurant, you can pretty much get anything added on it.
Some staples are:
Italian poutine - substitute gravy with spaghetti sauce
Galvaude - add chicken and green peas
Also with added hamburger and caramelized onions
Once i had a breakfast poutine, the fries were thick breakfast potatoes, with curds and béchamel sauce instead of the gravy. It had a poached egg and breakfast sausages on it. Pretty crazy.
I'm thinking of making a Philly cheese steak variation with steak, mushroom, peppers and provolone, with a pepper gravy.
Other than that, just fucking add whatever you want to it, it's supposed to be messy. Pro tip: pulled pork is excellent
>>7729092
Because we don't add cheese curds.

A diner near my place.
The base of a classic poutine is double fried thick cut potatoes.
Then you had fresh cheese curds. For some reason those are readily available only in Ontario, Quebec, New-Brunswick and Wisconsin.
You cover the whole thing with a chicken based gravy, but it more a thick sauce than a gravy.
That's the classical recipe, but you can do any variation of this and still have a great comforting plate, because that's what the poutine is all about.
There's this place near me in Victoria BC called "La Belle Patate" that makes the most amazing fucking poutine I have ever had.
Canadian Brewhouse makes a donair poutine that'll make you jizz your pants after a dozen drinks. Also there's a place in the mall near where I live that makes all kinds of ballin' poutine. Stroganoff, Mexican, bacon cheeseburger, all good shit.
>>7729468
Poutine burger extreme
La québécois
Those two I'd be interested in trying
Baked fries
Garlic gravy
Nutritional yeast based cheese
Love being vegan
>>7728468
There's a fuckton of variations famalam
Pretty much every place that sells it aside from the joints for basic bitches has at least 3 or 4 kinds, a lot have a dozen or more.
It's kind of our pizza of sorts.

traditional poutine gravy is half beef half chicken based. its what differentiates it from every other gravy.
>>7730232
>cheese curds
any store neer the quebec border. I'm sure they are hard to find downtown toronto.
>>7730232
There's a cheese maker in Prince Edward County that makes them. I think it's called Black River Cheese.
But that's quite a schlep for most people.
Cheese curds should be bought and eaten the same day they are made. Make sure they haven't been refrigerated otherwise they lose some flavour.
If you can't use them the day they're made then refrigerate them but let them come to room temperature before eating them.
I'm flying to Vancouver today, where should I get poutine?

Not gonna lie, any Costco hast a pretty decent poutine as well.
>>7728468

>>7729101
i had a breakfast poutine from allo mon coco and fuck me they soaked it in hollandaise
>>7731050
well judging by the amount of body hair on myself i could be mistaken for your sheman of a girlfriend. But no man i am just a dude playing a dude disguised as dude who wants poutine.
I made some home made poutine a few weeks ago. I really like it. Don't have any pics but the recipe was:
- pulled pork from a slow cooked pork shoulder.
- some crinkle cut french fries
- made some stock gravy
- covered it in mozzarella cheese and some bbq sauce as well
Was really good. Next time I'll try some cheese curds and maybe add some more vegetables or something. But it's suprisingly easy to make on your own with good results and the sky's the limit on customizing it.
>>7731191
I also forgot to add that I made a uncooked brocolli cole slaw with it. Had mayo, sour cream, and some olive oil and vinegar in it. Added a really nice crunchy tangy flavor to rest of it.
>>7728468
Poutine looks so bland and unappetizing. None of these things look like the mesh.
>>7731191
>mozzarella cheese
That's disco fries, not poutine.

wikipedia it pls.
>>7732412
i know what it is
but i dont understand why people eat it
>"culture"
Isn't this just chips and gravy
>>7732420
It's the perfect food to eat when you are drunk.
>>7730390
Too much pepper in the gravy, Belgian Fries is the best stuff I've had. If you're in New West there's a little place called Anny's Dairy Bar too.
>>7730114
>Black cherry
>Steamie dogs
Super traditional
>>7730390
Annie's in new west does a super traditional poutine. Lady that runs the place is French Canadian as fuck too.
Spud shack ( also in new Westminster) is more modern hipster poutine with many variations.
It's also worth noting that most domain stands out in the valley also serve poutine, including an interesting variation where those crazy Arabs put the domain meat and sauce on the poutine
>>7732946
DONAIR
fucking spell check
>>7728468
bacon and montreal smoked meat are popular additions.
New York Fries does shit like butter chicken poutine. I'd stay away from it.
You can also get Supreme Fries from food trucks around Toronto. This is poutine with ground beef, iceberg, and sour cream added. It's pig disgusting.
Popeyes does a surprisingly good cajun poutine with spicy pulled chicken gravy and seasoned fries. It would be better with fresh squeaky curds though
The key to a good poutine is the quality ingredients. The fries have to be crisp, the gravy flavourful, and the curds very very fresh. Don't mess with hipster meme toppings.
>>7730877
Glad it worked out bro. Can't wait to see your thread about how good those cheese curds are.
>>7732956
Off topic, but the person who took a perfectly good gyro and added a sweet sauce to it should be shot.
Fucking Maritimers.
>>7732412
Saved the gif. But I don't think I'll get many opportunities to use it.

Butter Chicken Poutine

Gyros are garbage compared to donairs.
Poutine or Carne asada fries?
Poutine is overrated. Really sorry to have to say this but it's true.

You have taste bud cancer. See a doctor.
>>7735982
>Poutine is overrated
No, it's properly rated.
It's a local junk food that people eat on occasion. No one calls it gourmet or suggests one should have a poutine weekly.

My favorite
>>7735966
Carne asada fries hold a special place in my cholesterol ridden heart. But each has their place and time. Sometimes you want gravy, and sometimes you want nacho cheese.
>>7728468
Looks nasty but you want true drunk food ... garlic bacon cheese chip. And I'll see you in the cardiac ward

Chez Gerard used to be good until it was sold to immigrants.
La Belle Province used to be good until it was sold to immigrants.
That's what happens when you let foreigners take over a local dish. You end up with shirt-tier poutine.
Can you imagine what would happen to sushi in Japan if a bunch of foreigners took it over?
>>7729457
Not bait. Chips and gravy has been a thing for centuries
