How often do you eat poutine?

[Mauser]

Twice, in my life. That stuff will kill you.

Tried it once and that was enough. If I'm going to have potatoes with a lot of fat mixed in, only 1 choice, the home fries at Cosmos. This time of year if I go for breakfast on a sunday morning I make sure I get a take out order to munch on while watching football.

Hum,it doesn't qualify as poutine anymore? I love french fries and sauce...with the sauce on the side , I now I am particular for food...and cannot stand the squeaky cheese so no poutine for me..

 

[Joe Pistone]

Can do without the cheese turds.

 

[TheBlob]

Then it's a frites-sauce, not a poutine.

Mais pour briser le cliché, ce n'est pas tous les Québécois qui mangent de la poutine régulièrement....pour certains c'est toutes les semaines, pour d'autres c'est jamais. Dans mon cas j'ai parfois des rages!

I went into some lower end restaurant in Montreal (may have been La Belle Provence, can't remember) and someone brought out a plate of poutine and I was so revolted by the smell of it that I never wanted to let that nasty shit anywhere near my mouth. It smelled like dirty socks mixed with rotting fish. When my nose violently repulses a rejection of food through my body, I never ignore that. The nose always knows!!!!!!!!!!!!:nod:

EB, maybe your mouth is too close from your nose... That would explain why you smell dirty socks mix with rotting fish in front of the MOST popular meal in Quebec.
It keeps you from tasting delicious meals that smell real good too...

Hmmm,

I understand completely. It's exactly the way I've always felt about Mac and Cheese and the New York Yankees. Honestly, I can't get within 10 feet of either without starting to feel nauseous and having to run from them for some fresh air. I remember being a young kid and my neighbor making a big pan of M&C. He let my try some and it was all I could do not to upchuck it back at him. OMG YUK!!! Now, I don't know how you feel about M&C, but damn, the Yanks have been peeuuu putrid all year and your nose must have had many violent repulses...I mean El STINKO. Good luck until the end of the decade. I'll take poutine over either.

Cheers,

Bud

I like poutine. I prefer the one with Italian Meat Sauce.
But what I really like is the Cheese. "Fromage en crotte" or "Fromage Couic-Couic" as we say in french.

The mix of this particular cheese with Potatoe is very tasty.
Just eat a peace of this cheese with simple boiled potatoe and it is quite good... (You must eat a piece of the cheese and potato at the same time)

Once in a while, I buy "Fromage en Grains" at Costco (Gadoua I think...) it is fresh and very tasty and I put some in my omelette.
After the omelette is cooked, still in the fry pan, I put some cheese curds and fold the Omelette so the cheese is melting a bit in between.
I eat the omelette with Boiled potatoes and carrots...
Mmmmm ... C'est cochon ça!

I also put sometime, this Cheese in a plate of Spag with Italian Meat sauce or just tomato sauce...

J'ai mangé de la poutine très peu de fois dans ma vie; peut-être cinq ou six au maximum. Pas mauvais, mais je n'en suis pas féru.

Je ne peux pas dire que c'est quelque chose que j'apprécie vraiment. Si l'envie de manger des frites me prends subitement, je préfère plutôt les apprêter en y ajoutant du sel et du vinaigre. Ce n'est peut-être pas plus santé après tout mais ça comble ma gourmandise. Et ça demeure quand même un parangon de la cuisine québécoise: "une frit' pis un papsi" (Pepsi) dans un sac brun graisseux....hum j'ai des souvenirs de jeunesse qui me reviennent à l'esprit (où à l'estomac)

Je ne suis pas plus friand d'ailleurs d'un autre mets québécois jouissant d'une certaine notoriété: la guédille! De fait je n'y ait jamais goûté et je n'ai guère l'intention de le faire.

Fortunately, they won't be around much longer.

For me poutine is a guilty pleasure to be enjoyed sparingly.
This hobby can be justified simply by burning off the calories after injesting one of these!

I eat putine on every other breakfast.

Seriously, I have putine like twice a year regardless of the season. It usually comes in urges. Maybe it is just an urge for french fries after all, but I prefer the putine sauce on my fries than ketchup. Out of all these times, the putine was only once decent, though I still keep asking for it. I even have putine once at Mc Donald's, the most disgusting putine I ever had, though it was late at night after a night of clubbing.

Last weekend, I felt the urge for a big portion of french fries from the Five Guys food joint. The fries were so greasy that putine looked a healthy food in comparison. Unfortunately, I will still go for both putine and Five Guys food, life is made of guilty pleasures after all.

I haven't eaten a poutine in about 5yrs...and don't intend to have one in the next 5 to 10 yrs...lol my body just doesn't like it anymore

J'adore la poutine. La bonne poutine...Car comme dans tout, il y a du bon et du mauvais... Ceci dit, j'en mange très rarement; deux fois par année probablement. Gosh , je m'entraîne 5-6 fois semaine, alors je vais pas scrapper ça avec de la Junk... Cependant , j'ai bien aimé une remarque de Alex Perron (notre "so gay artist") qui disait qu'il s'entraînait justement pour pouvoir manger n'importe quoi... Et surtout de la poutine !!!

 

[HUmm64]

Restaurant Le Pourvoyeur at Marche Jean Talon has a poutine made with home made onion rings instead of fries.
That is on my todo list !

I will eat poutine maybe twice a year. I will make sure that I have a good workout after ward to shed off the calories. But I've always thought that you have to give in to the craving once in a while.

Later

Not sure how anyone can crave a dish whose key ingredients are the drippings from sweaty socks and fish bowels.

The story goes that Napoleon, on returning from a military campaign, would send a messenger ahead to tell Josephine not to wash. Perhaps the poutine eaters of today have similar tastes.

 

[HornyForEver]

Putine does not smell like sweaty socks at all. The ones i had smelt liked fried potatoes, nothing more. Also, you are making a general statement about putine from one single experience you had at La Belle Province, that's not smart. I hope you don' t base many decisions in your life on single experiences
