Jawa21, are you from Canadia? Omg poutine is amazing, it’s like the next natural evolutionary step of the fried potato. Has to have cheese curds, I’ve learned. I’ve had it with regular cheese before, and is that sacrilege? It tastes like sacrilege to me. Anyway yes fricken poutine is amaaaazing
Poutine with regular cheese is like making wine with Welch’s grapefruit juice. It gets the job done, it’s cheap but it tastes like prune juice.
Good Canadian poutine is with passable cheese curds and a cheaply made gravy from a box
True peak gourmet poutine is a Quebecois Poutine with rich cheese curds, heavy hot flavorful homemade beef gravy with fresh cut potatoes thickly sliced and fried to a golden brown.
Oh god … I haven’t had a good Quebec Poutine since last summer!!!
Nah, I’m actually from just a bit north of Atlanta. However, I watch a lot of Canadian media - mainly thanks to LoadingReadyRun. I finally had poutine here about 2 years ago. It took more effort than it sounds like because cheese curds are not easily come by here, and when you find them they’re expensive.
Ah yeah, I can imagine it gets pricey depending on where you are in relation to the nearest local cheese curd makers. I’m pretty lucky, I can take a short drive to Wisconsin if I wanna stock up. It’s crazy, like, once you cross the border, even at the gas stations there’s so much cheese. So much cheese. It’s everywhere!
You can’t stock up on cheese curds, though. They lose their squeak after a couple of days. If you freeze them, they lose their squeak immediately. The best part of cheese curds are the squeek.
I’m in Minneapolis, not far from WI, and it’s a crap shoot whether you’re getting the real deal, or some unsqeaky fading flower. I mean, old curds are still good, they’re just not great.

Oh wow, homemade gravy sounds awesome. I’m eating Oreos before bed, and like, now all I want is gourmet poutine lol
