congratulations! poutine is one of the rare perfect delicacies of the world.

simply amazing.

mmmmmmmm..... now i want some. you're making me homesick!

 

[The BurgerMeister]

by the way, did you have it traditional style with cheese curd, or with regular cheese?

edit: i've never heard of "disco fries," but judging by the way south jersey makes a cheesesteak (like at big john's) i'm sure they'd make a killer poutine, too!

 

[All_¥our_Bass]

Regular cheese, curds were not available.

 

[The BurgerMeister]

still delicious....

French Fries topped with Brown Gravy and melted American Cheese.

o man... a buddy of mine eats the most horrific thing i've ever heard of.

if we go to Carl's Jr. he gets a double western bacon cheese burger, now thats two meat patty's, BBQ sauce, Bacon and he gets Extra bacon, and onion rings with Extra onion rings (all IN The burger)

and the large fries and drink, so then he gets those little packets of Ranch and Mayo and slathers that all over the burger so its dripping this crap, and he dips the fries in a mixture of Ranch / Mayo... its freaking... blah.

It explodes every time he take's a bite, lol.

 

[Baryonyx]

Sounds awful, but I really have to try it myself one day!

 

[Rune Bivrin]

No pictures = no poutine!

 

[jady]

swap out the gravy for chili and you've got Chili Cheese Fries. I have a suspition thats what God was eating when he created the universe, Heavenly!!!!!!

What kind of Gravy was on it, white or brown?

If I came home from the bar and told my wife that I ate me some poutine, I'd get slapped, called an S.O.B. and she'd want a divorce.

Thats almost exactly what I said.

I'll make sure to make some the next time I'm at Old Country Buffet or something.

so were you in Montreal when you had this delight, or lost someplace in the great province of Quebec?

fwiw, poutine gravy is not just ordinary brown beef gravy. it is brown, but it has a completely different make-up than the brown gravy slogged over mashed potatoes in the US.

the cheese curds must be squeeky - anyone from Wisconsin will know what squeeky cheese is. poutine does not used shredded or sliced cheese, or some gooey liquid from the nacho assembly line.

The classic poutine, invented in Quebec, and the example from which all poutines are derived, is a heap of crispy french fries topped by a handful of cheddar curds, and a chicken (or, sometimes, veal) based sauce. While great fries are important, it is the combination of sauce and curds which makes a poutine a trascendent culinary experience.

By the late 1970s, poutine had made its way to New York and New Jersey, where it is often sold as an "off menu" item in a modified form -- 'disco fries'. This concoction is french fries, a beef gravy, and shredded, usually cheddar, cheese. The cheese melts completely, mixes in with the gravy, and the dish is a mess, and a delicious one enjoyed by late-night partiers of the disco crowds in the days before low-fat, Atkins and smart drinks.
