A French restaurant says it's received threats based on confusion around its namesake dish.
Poutine, fries doused in cheese curds and gravy, has nothing to do with Putin, it said.
Businesses around the world have been pressured to cut ties with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
A restaurant in France seeks to clear its name after fielding confusion surrounding poutine, its signature dish — fries doused with cheese curds and gravy — and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the leader who announced an invasion into Ukraine just over a week ago.
La Maison de la Poutine, or The House of Poutine, tweeted on Friday that it received "calls of insults and even threats" over its namesake dish.
"It, therefore, seems necessary for us to recall that La Maison de la Poutine is unrelated to the Russian regime and its leader," the tweet read. It featured the restaurant's logo, a heart emoji, and the Ukrainian flag.

At least they weren’t niggardly with the portions they gave.
OTOH, I think the perfect nickname for Justin Trudeau is Vladimir Poutine.
Yeah, well, I’m boycotting that song about the Russian dictator standing atop a cracker...um, what’s the name of it...? Oh yeah!
“Putin On The Ritz”!
Poutine Pro Tips To amp up the flavor, use seasoned fries. If you want the gravy and cheese to take center stage, use plain fries. Sprinkle extra mozzarella before pouring the gravy on in order to have extra gooey, cheesy goodness. Eat this with a fork;) Ingredients 28 oz bag of frozen seasoned fries 2 Tbs bacon fat 1 medium shallot, minced 1 garlic clove, minced 3 Tbs all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cup milk (you may substitute chicken or beef broth) 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 1 Tbs Worchestershire sauce 1-2 cups of Mozzarella cheese 2 cups of cheddar cheese curds
Instructions Bake fries according to package directions. While the fries are baking, add 1/2 Tbs bacon fat in a medium skillet or sauce pan and heat over medium heat. Add shallots, stir and cook until soft. Reduce heat if necessary to avoid burning. Add garlic to pan and stir, cooking for one additional minute. Add flour and stir constantly. Continue cooking until the flour develops a golden color and starts to smell nutty. While stirring continuously, slowly add liquid. Add salt, pepper and Worchestershire sauce and continue stirring until the gravy thickens to desired consistency. This may take 3-5 minutes and will come to a simmer. Keep stirring to avoid burning the bottom. Plate out the hot fries, add the Mozarella and cheese curds, then pour hot gravy over. Serve immediately.
Up all nite for that one- Genius!
Oh give me a break.
“A restaurant in France seeks to clear its name”
The restaurant should be able to name everyone who threatened them and everyone who liked any posts supporting these idiots. Only then will people engage their brain before commenting.
Free advertising, it works. Ask Trump (he’s the free ad master).
This is probably not stupid people (not stupid enough to be fooled by Poutine-Putin anyway) but trolls trying to make trouble and upset people. Its like graffiti vandals.
This sort of thing is the worst.

Oh, good gravy.
LOL!!
I know...I'm so sorry. 😜
I’m glad I’m not the only one reminded of that sorry episode.
People are such idiots.
Many Russians near me and those I know do not like Putin.
