It’s known as poutine - and there are many variations of it. I tried it once and thought it was disgusting lol. Maybe I just got a bad batch of it, but it was just a pile of soggy fries smothered in cheap gravy with a few half-melted blobs of cheese. Not good.
Up here it is pronounced poo (as in what it looked and tasted like) and teen (as in the age bracket it is most popular). My grandkids all love it. When we have what we call Main 88 night (the name of the take-out in the nearby town) they all go crazy for the poutine. Maybe I should give it another try.
I so much agree with you about poutine. I tried it once. I hated it. So no more.
Thank you all for your prayers last night. It did rain all night but slacked off considerably and no flooding.
Whenever I make a beef pot roast, I always save some of the au jus to make things like poutine. (As the base for the gravy)
Hubby makes fries in our air fryer to put in it, and a nice sharp cheddar is added to it right before serving.
Really, it is spectacular. It is made to order so to speak, as it is made for two servings, and not left in a steam table for the gravy to separate. I am sorry you had such a bad experience from it, as it gives poutine a bad name when things like that happen.
