How often do you eat poutine?

[Merlot]

Gentlemen,

...a few guys in the kitchen that thought you were a smart ass and wanted to play a very dirty nasty disgusting joke on you. they must have really messed with your poutine, if you know what i mean.

Possible. He has described how he can be coldly critical to work staff.

For me, I'm not one to turn up my nose or be nasty to workers. I also don't have a problem putting much of anything on fries from mustard and ketchup to mayonnaise, tartar sauce, barbecue sauce, sour cream, gravy, hot sauce, blue cheese dressing, various home made dips or anything handy. But the hard part about poutine is it looks like something that is ready to throw away. Dipping fries into brown gravy or melted cheese a little at a time sounds just fine to me, but already smothering the fries swimming under a bath of gravy and melted cheese curds from the start is a little hard to take, especially when the curds remind one of gobs of fat. It makes even the worse nauseating American burgers look better. Yet, I have had it and it's not bad.

I see there are many varieties of poutine. Could someone explain these?

PEAS...really??? Talk about my least favorite vegetable. Then again the great American taco platter has some strong visual challenges of it's own. lol.

Still, if anyone gets near poutine and thinks he smells "sweaty socks and fish bowels"...he must have had his nose in some mighty foul places and poutine should be a BIG improvement for him.

Happy gas pains,

Merlot

Pauline Marois should ban poutine. Not only does it look disgusting, it's a serious health hazard. It makes people fat, it piles up the calories, it clogs up your arteries, and it'll only lead to serious health problems for people addicted to this junk! And then it's our tax dollars that pay for their medical bills.

Matante Pauline, please ban poutine!

I was 15 when I had my first poutine.

Now I eat it about once a month

Are you kidding, ban a dish that is distinct and part of the cultural heritage of Quebec? Pauline should make it a law that all separatist should eat poutine three times a day to preserve Quebecs cultural heritage.

Pauline should make it a law that all separatist should eat poutine three times a day to preserve Quebecs cultural heritage.

If she does that, all of her constituent will die of heart attacks, and she will then be voted out of office by the surviving non-separatists.

It is fundamental that you NEVER enact legislation that jeopardizes the health of your constituents, because a dead voter cannot vote.

I'm confused. I thought "la poutine" was a French slang word for wet pussy.

And both look equally appetizing when you see it for the first time. Also it's best when they have sausages in it .

J'aime bien la poutine Tunisienne chez Frites Alors (avec merguez et onions). J'en mange une fois par quelques mois.

GREAT treat... very good on the east coast if you ever visit... moncton new brunswick has a few great spot for poutine like deluxe french fries!

Sitting in La Banquise, watching her devour a rather sizeable pile, I'm wondering how often people indulge in this cardiovascular nightmare.

Please respond in your native tongue.

 

[Flash Gordon]

Once, that was enough.

 

[Dick Steele]

Once every few years, like I did this week. Just to remind me that the stuff can kill me.

I had some relatives come up from the states this summer, when we were dining at a restaurant I ordered a large poutine for everyone to sample along with our meal. They thought poutine would never sell in the states. Nothing special to them. Is it just a Quebecois ting where they have to have their own distinct artery clogging fast food?

 

[erotq]

At least once a month... it is big on the east coast where i visit frequently. mcdonalds should offer a mc-poutine

 

[D. B. Cooper]

I seem to remember poutine available at McDonalds a while back. I guess it never caught on with their tooth pick french fries.

The Mickey D's in Lachine has it, a friend i was with one late night this summer asked them if they sell it and they said yes but stop serving at 11pm, so she missed it by 20 mins...

It's pretty gross if you ask me. Some like it though.

Thanks God, never eat that shit! really don't get it how québécois can be proud of that shit and how people can enjoy eating that shit. There is so much more to life!

 

[easyguy]

For each its own, if you don’t like Quebec poutine you are welcome to eat Quebec puttana. Both are not recommended by doctors but so delicious...

 

[lgna69xxx]

its fries, cheese and gravy people, lol...just dont over due.

I suspect that poutine gained papularity only because it is a Qubec thing. Just like they had to trot out Rene Simard because to be the cheap imitation of Donny Osmond. When was the last time you actually saw someone ordering poutine?

 

[Ernst Stavro Blofeld]

I have never eaten poutine, I know what greasy fries taste like, what sauce taste like. I can only guess what a combo of fries, sauce and cheese curds taste like. I have no curiosity to find out.

 

[master_bates]

I don't like the poutine at McDonald's but they all have it even though they don't advertise it
