Who would do this to himself?

>>17166304

Poutine? I'd give it a try

>>17166304
unironic question. can you order in canada/usa poutine with the cheese and sauce on the side so i can just dip it in?

>>17166304
decent looking chips, light-coloured gravy... spent a bit too much time with the lid on, but yeah, looks alright. Who's it from?

>>17166304
How can I make this in the US? Make some gravy and little mozzarella balls?

>>17166304
plebian french onion soup

yes I will eat

>>17166304
goddamn canadians

>>17166336
depends. when you get spaghetti and meatballs, do you get the spaghetti in a pile with the sauce on the side, and the meatballs dry on the plate away from the noodles and sauce so you can just dip them yourself?
jackass.

>>17166384
you are a fucking idiot

>>17166336
it'd kinda defeat the purpose of the dish but I'm sure if you asked for a poutine with the sauce on the side they'd humor you. You'd probably become a story they tell though, that one time some tourist asked for the gravy on the side. But hey who gives a fuck

>>17166304
If you're having it for the first time it has to be from a casse-croute or diner in Quebec, or at the very least eastern/northeastern Ontario along the Quebec border or western NB. Do not bother outside of this region, trust me. It's simple garbage peasant food for drunks but everyone else fucks it up somehow

>>17166304
yes

>>17167104
northern NB*

>>17166336
I've never heard of it but honestly it would keep the fries crisper which is a plus. The ideal way to have it, albeit autistic, would be to order them separate with a third plate to put the fries on and then scoop the rest on top, and repeat

>>17166304
I’m a leaf, so yea

>>17166304
i'd give it a bloody good go mate

lol this is funny i would eat this bbq potato fries for sure

>>17166384
comparing noodles with fries is really something.

>>17167104
The quality stays pretty true to form up along the route to Timmins (101?), as far out as Chapleau - I'm not sure if it's the lack of civilization, or the need to prove that Ontarais is a legitimate form of redneck French, but the chip trucks along here actually don't fuck up poutine.

>t. Toured with Quebecois tech death bands, a little too eager to show us good poutine.

>>17166304
Yes. All day.

>>17168854
>>17167104 here, originally from Sudbury. I'd say any of the French-speaking parts of northeastern Ontario are part of that catchment, although there were some truly vile poutines in Suds. Best I've had in the north (and second to none in general) was at the watershed rest stop on the 144 between Sudbury and Timmins. Took pic rel 9-10 years ago so not sure if it's still as good.

>>17166854
>it'd kinda defeat the purpose of the dish
Who gives a fuck? Some people don’t like soggy fries.

>>17170206
yeah and poutine isn't really for them. Some people don't like melted cheese, I wouldn't bring them to a pizzeria

>>17166304
...yes but i would feel bad afterwards... i guess once in a while its ok..

>>17170206
>>17166336
>>17166817
>>17168338
Do you really think the purpose of poutine is to have salted McDonald's fries dipped in fucking Walmart gravy served with melted kraft singles??

The entire dish is delivered specifically with dehydrated mozzarella cheese curds that squeek. All poutine sauces are gravy, but not all gravy is poutine gravy. It's a specific flavour. All of these are NEEDED to melt onto the thick cut fries so you're served essentially a mashed potato.

Saying you can just dip poutine into the sauces goes to show how you cu/ck/s probably confuse everything with McDonald's.

>>17166362
You can get cheese curds at almost any grocer.

squeeky cheese

>>17166304
only if I'm extremely hungry, otherwise I always end up reaching the halfway point and I end up feeling very bloated and the poutine has gone cold

The closest I can come to this is getting cheese curds, gravy from KFC, and fries from Mcds. To actually get the real deal, I'd give it a gander

>>17166347
It’s from Pommes Frites, a place in NYC. I know because I took this pic originally and someone else is posting it now (go to town lol). You can see a sliver of subway map up top.

They do a pretty darn good poutine, but their main thing is having a whole bunch of different dipping sauces.

I'm in the uk and have never had this before. But if I had grown up in Canada or anywhere else that sells it, I'd imagine I'd go through a phase were I demolished it, and even cooked it at home. Then got sick of it when I got older.

>>17166304
I’d cram it if you are asking that

>>17171838
It's the opposite actually. Growing up it was always a treat but got a bit heavy after a few bites. Now we have alcohol.

Is it true that the cheese in poutine is supposed to be "squeaky" when you bite into it?

>>17166304
i'd bury my face in it while jerking off two steamés in the back of the greek's kitchen

>>17171876
Yes, there's even an onomatopoeia term for cheese curds in French
>le fromage "skouik-skouik"
They have to be fresh though as they lose their squeak as soon as you refrigerate them.

>>17166384
>depends. when you get spaghetti and meatballs, do you get the spaghetti in a pile with the sauce on the side, and the meatballs dry on the plate away from the noodles and sauce so you can just dip them yourself?

woul eat

I've been obsessed with this new variation called Pom-pom poutine from a pizza chain called Milanos.
So FUCKING good. Better than a blowjob. It just replaces the fries with these little hashbrown balls. Add some banana peppers and you'll lose your mind. Seriously the best shit late at night.

>>17172541
Tabarnak $9.10 for a small. Looks good tho. I recommend Pizza Italie in downtown Hull, filthy place but their poutine is mind-blowing

>>17166304
It's probably still better than burger king.

>>17172541
>hashbrown balls
those are tater tots, you mong. looks p good though

>>17166326
This

>>17166336
that kinda defeats the purpose of the poutine, point is that the hot gravy melts the cheese curds
admittedly i do prefer when takeout places give me the gravy separately so i can pour it on myself at home
poutine is at its best when eaten immediately and the fries are still somewhat crisp (actual crispy fries like mcdonalds don't loan themselves very well to poutine though)

>>17166304
Looks comfy, definitely would.

>>17167125
NB

>>17172631
Oooh merci, I'll check that out. Any other Gatineau restaurants to check out? Preferably someplace nice for a date

>>17172707
You're prob correct. I've only had store bought reheatable tater tots with terrible consistency, and the ones in this dish tasted too good, and more similar to hash browns.

>>17166304

Yes, hell I can smell that picture.

>>17167104
mes négros aux frontières savent comment cuisiner

>>17173908
I'm only in Gatineau these days to buy booze. I've heard there are a few good Peruvian restaurants though

>>17174537
I just realized this but the border might be closed and I'm on the Ottawa side. I probably won't get to go for a month :(

>>17166304
I would but I prefer fewer curds.

>>17167104
Fuck you. Best poutine I have had was in Maine.

>>17174634
>Fuck you. Best poutine I have had was in Maine.
okay that just means you've only had bad poutine
also
>going to Maine
are you a basic white girl or something?

>>17166854
The purpose of the dish is mindless indulgence. Let anon do whatever satisfies their hedonistic urges.

>>17170862
Retarded on christmas eve. A shame.

>>17174759
Did you save this pic from 2009? Looks also like it was written by a child.

bloody colonials, can't even come up with their own ideas. looks like we'll have to re-colonialise them to teach them a lesson.

this is quintessentially british queasine.

>>17166304
as long as no vinegar is added, it's what your tongue craves the most. salt, fat, carbs, moist.

>>17166304
All day every day.

Poutine is the best.

>>17172541
My roommate works at one, I should get her to make me one with half tots half deep fried curds.

>>17174883
Remember to eat her out as thanks.

>>17174845
Not that it ever sticks out, but poutine gravy without a sprinkling of malt vinegar in it might as well be packaged brown sauce.

>>17174934
you mean the other way around. gravy with vinegar turns into brown sauce.

>>17174945
I really don't

>>17174634
I'd be wary of poutine from Maine even in Madawaska. I've heard their French

>>17174614
I doubt it'll close Ottawanon. Btw since you're on the Ontario side you gotta try Run 2 Patty in Nepean. No dine-in but great value and amazing curry rotis and Jamaican patties

german restaurant had something similar, fries gravy cheese curds

>>17174759

not only are you illiterate, but retarded too

>>17175568
Lmao m8 I live in Nepean, next I bet you'll guess my street.
Thanks for the rec, I'm definitely checking it out.

Since we're talking about Nepean I'll just dump my favorite places there in case there's other ottawanons.
You might already know about it but if you're ever there again you gotta try world burger, particularly their Signature Jump Burger. Literally the best burger you can get in the city because I honestly haven't had anything thats Beaten it so far. They also serve fantastic poutine as a side. Worth the price desu.

A second best is BarBurrito, large, brown beans, jalapeno eclipse sauce, rice, yada yada. Their large Serving size is a bundled baby. Knocks my tits off every time.

poutine is delicious bros please give it a chance

>>17175790
>BarBurrito
I can't wait for BurritoBoyz to make it out there.

>>17175794
Remember when Burrito Bastard opened? What a fucking disappointment. It's worse than a McDonald's wrap. And so many folks from Toronto kept Hyping it up.

>>17175790
World Burger confirmed for based. Sushi 168 next door used to be good too but since 'rona they switched to all-day dinner price AYCE.
I haven't tried Bar Burrito, although I know there's one at Bayshore. My favourite is Burrito Gringo at Merivale/Viewmount

>>17175816
BarBurrito on huntclub is my favorite spot. But I've had it at Bayshore too.

I tried sushi 168, their menu was fancy as hell giving you a whole ass iPad. Too bad the service was rough. Took 45 min for our food. And it was...ok. the Mandarin is my favorite Asian restaurant in the city. For a buffet the food is exceptionally fresh always.

>>17175829
168 was great years ago. Loads of AYCE sushi places have adopted the iPad formula, although as of just a couple of months ago the Sushi Kan on Baseline/Merivale had the traditional pen and paper. Place is fucking filthy though.
I miss the shit outta Mandarin, when things settle down in bulking up on general tao and steamed rice

>>17175829
I guess Singapore closed its doors? Used to have some wicked Hakka, Shanghai and Southeast/Jungle Asian stuff.

>>17175858
Where in town? Never heard of it

>>17175853
>>17175858
If you like spicy Chinese then try Dragon Sushi.

Also the Mandarin is still open no? I fell in love with their sour mushroom soup MMM.

btw anyone got a Raman recommendation? I don't trust experimenting, so many places have lost their quality but raised their prices to break even so going out hasn't been worth it.

>>17175858
>>17175868
I just checked, it closed recently, sorry. I never had it.

>>17175869
Mandarin is open but I'm too busy/poor.
Re ramen I wasn't a fan of Sansotei. Best ramen I've had in town is the Marutai Miyazaki chicken instant ramen you can get from T&T and sometimes Kowloon in Chinatown

>>17175875
What was the address?

>>17175869
I'm not seeing Dragon Sushi on Maps. Is it by the T&T?

>>17175880
69 Kempster, across Carling from the Cineplex

Typical Ottawans flaking out kek

>>17175893
Ah idk I only had it once on Ubereats. I can't find it either.

>>17175878
>Re ramen I wasn't a fan of Sansotei.
Do you mean to say you are a fan of sansotei?

>>17175953
Is it new? Behind the Taj?

>>17175958
Oh probably a ghost kitchen then.
>Do you mean to say you are a fan of sansotei?
I only had it once from uber eats and it was shit. To be fair it was cold when it made it to my house which was like 4km away

>>17175961
It didn't survive the rona. Apparently it's been there since the 80's... but yeah, either just behind or one down the road - it's been a while since I've even been to Ottawa.

>>17175977
Yeah doesn't ring a bell. I've only lived in the area for 6 years though

If any Ottawanons are still on go to Kanata Noodle House on Hazeldean and get the bun bo Hue, trust me

>>17176065
>Bun Bo Huehuehuehuehue

>>17176070
No macaco guaranteed
But possibly dog

>>17176087
Probably just beef and pork - it's cheaper in the long run to just play by the rules on this side of the Pacific.

>>17166304
I do eat this on the reg. I make my own ghetto poutine aswell with rallys frozen fries, ground beef, dollar store gravy, cheese curds, etc. Poutine is an EZ meal and tasty

>>17176100
I don't care what it is bud it's delicious

>>17176122
Where do u live?

I feel like I might be the only person who likes italian poutine as much (and at times even more) than regular poutine.

>>17176141
Arizona

>>17176150
That looks dope as hell I wanna try that

>>17176151
You can get fresh cheese curds in AZ?

>>17176150
Best poutine variant is butter chicken or tikka masala

>>17175853
>>17175829
>>17175816
Londonfag here
We have a few sushi places with AYCE and 168 in the name here too, apparently they're the same chain!

>>17176211
Do they still have lunch rates?

>>17176227
$25.99 for lunch until New Year's, holiday pricing

>>17176233
Horrid. Used to get lunch for $12 at Bai Du on Baseline back in the day

>>17176255
In Ottawa*

>>17176255
yeah all the AYCE places are horrendously expensive
I really don't wanna pay $40 a person for dinner, at all
(at least red lobster has endless shrimp for $21.99 on Mondays, RIP)
I'm out near Col. Talbot and Southdale BTW

Jesus fuck, there's too many people from Ottawa in this thread. I go to the gym across from 168 Sushi and now I feel like I live in a town of degenerates.
Thanks for being here guys, I'm glad you faggots exist in Canada.

Anyone know any good poutine joints in the northwest?

hey nepeanons, what's the best AYCE/buffet right now? I have a friend who lives on Uplands Drive not too far from the T&T who I would like to visit in the new year

>>17176300
I suggested the Mandarin itt already but I'll say it again. You will not regret it. Please be respectful and dress nice, you don't wanna be wearing hoodies and sweats there when you step inside.
Their sour mushroom soup is to die for.

>>17176281
Lol most of the mobile hotspots and coffee shops downtown are banned. When I was security guard I'd be posting from different buildings a night and often times I'd get to see the ban ticket for what some other anon did. Mostly for something done on /v/ or /pol/.

Also ya its nice knowing some anons live here, kinda funny we'd meet over poutine lol.

>>17176281
There's nothing else to do in this shithole but work/eat/dick around on the internet. At least the food options are decent relative to our size.

>>17176393
They really don't care. It's a chain buffet (the original's gone, but it was walking distance when I was a wee lad) and they get all kinds of miscreants who go for reasonably priced Singapore Slings with ten plates of egg rolls and yorkshire pudding.

>>17177115
I used to love walking around the Rideau, especially when the trees are in bloom. The touristy aspect did make for some nice walks. I probably do less in Toronto, even with "More things to do" because I'm working so much, and shit's so fucking expensive here. How many times am I supposed to give my left nut to go up the CN tower?
