Fries with gravy? It’s not exactly the atomic bomb. Some form of it goes back centuries.
In Oklahoma, we have the Hot Hamburger, which is a hamburger patty on a slice of white bread, topped with French fries, covered with beef gravy. Springfield IL has the Pony or Horseshoe, which is the same as a hot hamburger, except with cheese sauce instead of gravy. None of the above, nor poutine, sounds good to me.
I mean, I laughed before I tried it on a trip to Canada, but they’ve got something with this.
Who claims “Kroff Dinner”?
Yup... It’s almost as good as poutang.
Poutine is a nice dish. I don’t like French fries, too plain. But Poutine makes it good.
I have found that marinating French fries with Ranch salad dressing before putting in the oven is pretty good.
Only the Frogs can claim poutine, because they’re cheese-eating surrender monkeys.
Poutine? Seriously? I do that with regularity so I ain’t eating it.
It is so available across Montreal.
I was there a few times and it just did not appeal to me. I could not see wasting a perfectly good meal eating that.
However, I will say I had more than a few bad meals in that area. An American hotel and McDonalds were two stellar standouts. You see, the hotel housed a lot of US visitors and the McDonalds were using copious amounts of real butter on their breakfast sandwiches, when McDonalds in the US were only using margarine.
The local restaurants seldom had tasty food. One buffet I tried had nothing worth eating, with overcooked boiled potatoes and broccoli and barely any edible meats.
The best local food was in the downtown area, near the river.
because even the English would not claim it
There are some good things about Canada and Quebec but to me this has never been one of them. I’ve tried it a couple of times and never again.
I adore poutine and now I’m hungry for some and have none so I hate you. Just kidding...mostly =p
THAT is the traditional meal of Quebec. A "Pepsi" is a slang term for les Québécois.
I don’t know what cheese curds are, but I’m pretty sure I don’t want to eat one.
I see bacon bits in that particular example. Bacon makes everything taste better.
C’mon, don’t think it’s a culinary delicacy just cause it’s French.
It’s just the easy they like their Freedom Fries.
C’mon. Don’t think it’s a culinary delicacy just cause it’s French.
It’s just the way they make Freedom Fries up there.
I like a little teriyaki sauce on fries. Fries dipped in soft-serve vanilla ice cream are good, too.
I saw this on menus in Manchester, NH, which has a large Franco-American population (actually descended from Quebeckers).
Prefer chili (ground beef and beans), shredded cheese and gravy over my fries. Also prefer my curds deep fried (but not with my fries).
If you can find a Whataburger, their fries are pretty close to the old Mcdonald’s fries, you just need to add more salt. Their spicy ketchup is great!
