Canadian nachos

>>4976709
I've eaten it. It was rich and satisfying, but nutritionally deficient. Probably won't eat another one.

Cooking fries for poutine right now actually.

>Quebeckistan

wtf i am reading?

Do the Tim Horton's in the US sell poutine? I've never had it and my passport is expired if I wanted to venture across the border.

>>4976709

>there are canadians who seriously eat that bucket of goo and call americans fat

>>4976723

No, but Trader Joe's sells a frozen poutine kit.

>>4976709
>poutine

was invented as a drop dead for cheap money. when lumberjacks came home they usually need some new energy stuffing into their stomach. some lazy wife invented the bowl so she doesn't need to serve different food in different dishes. she put all into one, covered it with heavy cheese and souse and served with knockout alcohol. half hour and he was out for a sleep.

>>4976742
Youre so full of shit.

Poutine was invented in a cheap dinner in a rural area of quebec. The dude just slapped all those together for a special request. "Poutine que cest bon! " or something to that effect was what thw customer exclaimed as he ate it. Hence the name.

>>4976742

The French are known cheesemakers, and cheese curds are fresh. Cheeses are made from the pressed curds. Potatoes are rich in potassium, essential electrolyte and which promotes stength, and starch for energy, on top of being a root vegetable. Gravy is made from meat drippings, but there is no meat in the dish, which is somewhat rare.

It's not impossible to see that the dish represents the hard labor of clearing the land, in New France, and using animals to make the land suitable for agriculture.

>tfw Quebecer and the best poutine ever is in my small town

>>4976763


Poutone was invented in the late 50' s you plebs.

>>4976770

how much Lumberjack are you?

>>4976776

... your point?

>>4976755

Actually, poutine was invented as a high-calorie high-energy dish for mounties to sustain themselves during their long treks into the Canadian wilderness in search of rogue mooses.

>mfw quebecfags will cry their ancestors' sweat every time they eat poutine from now on.

>>4976709
>eating gravy & cheese on fries
>calling it good

Nigga get your shit together and try some REAL poutine.

Poutine rapée!

I've desperately wanted to try poutine for 5 years now.
Sadly i live in Texas and this is never going to be possible while I'm here :(

>>4976844

>living 5 hours fly away from superior french speaking girls serving you Putine naked..

seriously?

>>4976844
>Reply
gravy. cheese. fries.

>>4976932

You'd sooner find mochi and koshary in Texas before you found cheese curds.

>>4976709

>spaces before and after periods

You're clearly Quebecois, don't try and hide it.

And I've had poutine, spent like three weeks in Montreal a couple of years ago. It's pretty good stuff.

>>4976952

You must be in the wrong part of Texas, pretty sure there's some cheese makers in the north part of the state because there's a fairly sizable dairy industry there.

Quebec a shit.
Poutine is something you try once just to say you've had it.

>>4976787

Back when Moose, Meeses? were breaking into cargo trains and stealing arms shipments. These Mounties needed the most high energy diet to sustain prolonged combat in snow and blizzards against a Moose army carrying AK47s

>>4977000
There are no aks in canadia. They would have vz58s or svts

>>4977023

There are AKs everywhere my friend, everywhere.

And how do you know anyway, are you supplying the Mooses?

The real question, have you ever slathered your poutine in Maple Syrup?

Some of you idiots haven't got a clue. Most poutine in the US/rest of Canada is shit. I live in Montreal and most poutines are in the city are not like they should be. The cheese curds must always be fresh, 3 days later and its not the same. Have you ever had one with cheese that squeaks in your mouth? If not then you missed the real experience. Also frozen poutine is as good as frozen pre made burgers or breakfeast sandwiches

>>4977041
Oh shit! You just went full-blown Canadian, motherfucker. Sorry

I live in the American south and can't get fresh cheese curds.

>>4977049
>The cheese curds must always be fresh, 3 days later and its not the same

everyone knows this you idiot, you think quebec is the only place in the universe with a cheese industry?
typical fucking francophone.

>>4976886
>superior french speaking girls
>Quebec girls
>superior
>to anything

You are either from Quebec are some kind of QC version of "weeaboo".

>>4978110
Different anon here. Have you tried finding fresh cheese curds in Ontario? Have you tried finding curds at all?! Very difficult. So no, not everyone knows this, you fucking faggot.

>>4977049
This.
Once you refrigerate the curds they lose their awesome texture. Best get a poutine in a region where fresh curds are made. Which in Quebec is a lot of places.

>>4976709
I'll be in Montreal over the holidays. Imma find me a good poutine place.

>tfw I've never been to Ashton

I really want to try it but it's impossible to get here (rural Australia)

>>4978133
>Have you tried finding curds at all?! Very difficult.
fucking grocery store you jackass, it's right there with the cheese.

>>4978133
>I'll be in Montreal over the holidays. Imma find me a good poutine place.

Theres only 3 places that you should visit for Poutine in MTL...

Resto La Banquise
Poutineville
A.A

>>4976723

It's normally found at chip wagons and fast food diners. It's not really a cafe food.

>>4978110
>French Quebecois dude always spells my name wrong
>says it's because of the language barrier and how English is pronounced differently than he's used to
>both the French and English versions of my name are spelled exactly the same way
>realize it's not the language at all and that he's just an idiot
>Baise mon cul, Andre.

>>4978133
>Have you tried finding fresh cheese curds in Ontario?
>Very difficult.

You're kidding, right?

Christ.
This is disco fries with cheese curds.

>>4978157
Ahh... I see. You don't know what a real cheese curd tastes like.

I live in the GTA. I have never found a fresh cheese curd anywhere here.

The closest cheese curd maker is in Prince Edward County. That's a 2.5 hour drive from here.

There is a poutine stand in Burlington. The owner drives there weekly to get fresh curds.

You fucking stain in the grass.

>>4978164
Not kidding. I've never found fresh ones. Refrigerated, yes. But never freshly made that morning.

If you know where they can be found in the GTA please let me know. I'll send a few internets your way.

>>4978162

>This is disco fries with cheese curds.
>some disgusting rip off from New Jersey
>it was invented in the 90's
>poutine has been around since the 50's

>>4978174

If you're in the GTA you're eating nothing but curry anyway because you're an Indian.

>>4978178
I'm the token whitey.

I fell in love with poutine after moving to Canada.
(It was a tradeoff though, since I'm a Britbong and I have left great Fish n Chips and Curries behind. But that's not the point.)

Do NOT go to a fast food chain for poutine. Ever. I have had poutines from Burger King, A&W, KFC, Dairy Queen, Outtakes, and a few others now. They are all garbage. Don't even fucking bother. Throw that shit in the trash.

I live in Vancouver and there's a few dedicated poutine restaurants downtown. Some are great. Some are shit.

However, to this day the BEST poutine I have ever had in my life is from New York Fries. (I KNOW I JUST SAID NOT TO GET POUTINE FROM FAST FOOD CHAINS. I KNOW. But NYF literally bases their empire around chips. And they make incredibly good fucking chips.)

If you're looking for poutine or are visiting Canada, go to New York Fries. I promise it's amazing. Hot, salty, crispy chips. Delicious squeaky curds that begin melting as you eat, and thick hot rich dark gravy. It is practically divine.

This is just me though. My taste. My opinions and preferences.

Skip any crappy fast food chain like A&W or KFC.
Hit up New York Fries for sure.

>>4978192
There's a really good poutine place in Victoria. The owner of the place moved here from Quebec. They even sell spruce beer.

Canadafag here, I've eaten a fair amount of poutine in my life, but in all honesty I'll say that 80% of it has been pretty meh tier. Good poutine is great, but a lot of places don't even have the decency of using curds and not just shreaded cheese.

Good poutine is good, but bad poutine is soggy and terrible. I'd advise people to not let one bad poutine ruin the food for them.

>>4976712
Also I like this. Made me smile.

I love Costco poutine. Been to a couple specialty places that are good but Costco is consistently solid

>>4978192
I'm a fan of smokes poutinery.

Although you are 100% on avoiding generic fast food places version's of poutine. That shit is terrible.

I'm within reasonable driving distance of Boston, is there anywhere around there I can try this mythical dish?

>>4978213
Come to downtown vancouver, there's one place that has 'real' poutine and it's really good I normally can't stand the stuff.

The gravy is vegitarian but really good and you can get steak and mushrooms if you want.

>>4978165
>cheese curd maker

every fucking cheese maker is a cheese curd maker.
everywhere you can buy cheese, you can buy fresh squeaky curd.
please don't assume everyone is as retarded as you are.

>>4978242
>The gravy is vegitarian

St. Hubert's?

>>4978292
No, La Belle Patate

>>4978318
>La Belle Patate
There's a poutine place in Victoria with the same name.

>>4978318

Not the restaurant, the gravy. La Belle Patate uses St Hubert. It's vegetarian and is sold as a powder by the drum to poutineries.

>>4978325
Oh really? It's still rather good, it's my prefered poutine place here.

The hipster vegan nacho place 'Foundation' also has the best nachos despite being hipster and looking dank as fuck inside.

>>4976709
Yeh I had it and it's fuggin excellent, but the best all-round fast food hands down for all eternity is definitely the Burger. And the best burger is a burger with the lot, only available in Australia and NZ

Toasted bun
Grilled:
Meat
Cheese
Egg
Bacon
Pineapple
Onion
Fresh:
Lettuce
Tomato
(Tinned) beet root
Ketchup or BBQ sauce

Insults aside, I have tried to find some in the GTA and have not been successful. If you know of any, as you seem to, please share this glorious information with me. I would love to drive out to the countryside to buy a big bag of fresh curds.

If you don't know of any, then let us revel in the resumption of lobbing insults at each other.

Here, have an Asian.

>>4976709
I don't know buddy, it sounds awefully rich and fatty to me.

I used to eat them once a month
I'm in Calgary, and the poutineries are starting to advertise since this summer, might go check them out

I like fries. I dislike soggy fries.
This shit doesn't exist here.

>>4978116
Not that guy, but I recently moved to Quebec and the girls are awesome. On average, more beautiful and far more confident, open, affectionate, etc.

Never underestimate the latent Puritan spirit of the English.

I had poutine at some hipster microbrew resturaunt that had mangos in it. It was really tasty.

>>4979316
I have had duck confit (pretty common) and lobster poutine before. Pretty good.

>>4976709
>canadians so fascinated by 'chips, cheese, and gravy' they made their own name for it and are acting like it's some divine inspiration

>>4979250

*French

Fixed that for you. Also give it a year or two, the charm will wear off. All the men in Quebec seemed charming to me at first, too.

>>4979375
Angry American detected. Don't be too defensive and upset by a French word.

>>4979377
I've been here for 1.5 years. French =/= Puritan. You sound stupid.

yeah when I was a kid, I put shredded beef and gravy on my fresh cut fries. fucking delicious.

ok

I live in Qc so yes, although I can't eat dairy now so it's a rare treat. Also I try to eat healhty most of the time, and I rather my cheat meals be more worthwhile.

>>4976730
If poutine was American, it would come in gallon-sized buckets, with a "heart healthy" label on it because all the saturated fats would've been replaced by hydrogenated trans-fats. Oh, and HFCS.
