Is poutine a very canadian thing? A few friends of mine from overseas wouldn't touch it. Their loss! More for me! My favourite place to get poutine in Vancouver is Fritz on Davie.

I've got to have my poutine each time I go back home to Montreal!

Funny story, I'm a chef by trade, I used to work in a 5 star hotel near the Amsterdam airport. One day I take the shuttle bus from the airport to go to work and meet a couple from Monreal. So we start chatting a bit and I tell them I'm the chef at the hotel. Next thing I know, for dinner that evening a waitress tells me the couple wants to eat poutine.

So I made them a poutine with 4 or 5 sorts of nice european cheeses: Port Salut, Edammer and a couple other I can't remember. I topped it off with a Red Port sauce. They both said it was the best poutine they ever had.

EDIT: When I migrated to Australia I was very surprised to find a fast food joint called "New York Fries" that actually sells poutine Unfortunately they served it with schredded cheese

I know, eh?

I've only had poutine with regular gravy and regular white cheese that I think is mozzarella. I tried it once with italian sauce and once with chicken but it isn't the same. I love them chewy cheese curds, melting in all that gravy...

I wouldn't be opposed to trying it with other cheese though.

New York Fries here in Canada doesn't do them with shredded cheese...just regular cheese curds.
My australian co-worker would NOT touch poutine.

I haven't had a chance to try it since the last poutine thread did the rounds on TB, which must have been in early '07!

Looks like someone had white beans for dinner, partly digested them and then barfed on a plate of fries.

In parts of the States we have a similar dish at diners, but using actual finished cheese instead of the by-product. Some places might call them "cheddar fries with gravy", some call them "disco fries" (my theory on that one is that they were a cheap comfort food that young people would get during a quick stop-off before or after going out dancing for the night). Some places will offer it with bacon too.
