What's your thoughts on poutines?

>Hey look eh! I grabbed some fries and took a shit on them and popped my pimples on it! I'm gonna throw it at Johnny at the hockey game, it's gonna be freakin' hilarious

I love it but eat only as a reward, like doing well in a test or an interview. Tastes good but makes you feel like a fat piece of shit after finishing it.

it's not shit, it's gravy and cheese curds

Anon gere, live from poutine groud zero, eastern Quebec.
Poutine is just a comforting dish. Fries, sauce and cheese. Every democratic country has one type of those. It's always delicious and simple.

Original poutine (big hearty fries, cheese curds(the squish squish variety) and chicken sauce) is really great and has a flavour profile of it's own. You want real poutine, you gotta go to QUebec, where the potatoes, milk and chicken are from. It's a terroir thing.

I would rather have fries with a side of gravy as a dip. And some cheese curds to munch on in between.

I'm not that guy that orders deconstructed hamburgers, but some things really don't need to be all mixed together. Can you imagine how soggy the fries on the bottom are going to get?

come on you're not funny

I remember thinking these things looked absolutely vile

Than after a drunken night in Montreal nightclubs and absolutely starving and having basically nothing to cook at the lodge, I went to a Beavertails and inserted myself into the ethereal plane

Heavenly, would go back to Montreal just to sample all the different kinds of poutine they have

It does,that's why it became so memed. If it was just tasting like fries, nobody would have popularized the dish.

what's your favorite type of poutine? I like Italian poutine with sausage, myself but original bbq gravy poutine is good too. I'm not too much of a fan of brown gravy though.

We can get them here, but they're really terrible.

I like French Canadians and their cuisine.

Used to do Bocuse D'or trials in culinary school, loads of FC Chefs matriculating where I went to school. Always a good time.

Montreal isn't that far from me in the Hudson Valley, I go a few times a year to go skiing, putz around Montreal and window shop and eat well.

>>7104930
I've never had it with cheese curds, only cheddar. Can anyone tell me about cheese curds? I've read a bit about how it's made, but how does it taste? I would imagine it to be more mild than cheddar. I also here it has a strange consistency. Thanks to anyone who replies.

How are you supposed to eat it?

>>7107425
Cheese curd is the thing you process and age into cheese proper— Mozzarella, for example, is a curd which has been stretched and kneaded until soft.
Fresh curd is indeed mild and has a springy texture and will squeak when you bite into it.

>>7107508
you just do

>>7107870
I actually thought it was white cheddar that has preservatives, and that's why it squeaked.

It sucks being in south Ontario, where they have no idea how to make it. Even a Harvey's in Quebec makes it better than the "authentic" places in the GTA make it.

>I actually thought it was white cheddar that has preservatives, and that's why it squeaked.

Hesus fucking CHRIST what type of product is called "Cheddar cheese" in America? It shouldn't fucking squeek.

>>7108147
The squeak is lie when you eat pickled foods, and they make a noise when rubbing against your teeth.

>>7107508
Put food in mouth.
Open and close jaws with food between teeth. This is commonly called chewing.
Swallow chewed food.
Repeat.

>>7108151
If your cheese squeeks, it is not cheddar cheese.

>>7108155
Look it up then. All the websites I'm reading are saying white cheddar cheese curds, which is made differently from the cheese you would normally eat.

Anyone try making thier own? I tried once, and it was a disaster.

>>7108171
no, I'm too lazy so I order my poutine from restaurants

>>7108170
It's not made differently really, it's just earlier in the process. The curds are salted and pressed into molds then aged, then they become the cheddar cheese everyone is familiar with.

>>7108191
Thank you for clearing that up.
It's still cheddar that squeaks. :)

>>7108170
American websites. Cheddar cheese is not American. American style 'cheddar' "cheese" product is what you are talking about.
