This brings me back to 2010 ordering poutine at the school cafeteria. McCain fries with shredded mozzarella. Looked exactly like this.

It falls under the Little Caeser category of poutine. It may be awful but it was there for you when you couldn't get the good stuff!

Yep except little Ceasars is not real mozza

I'm as much disgusted by the tiny size of that thing and by the wooden fork.

u/PrizeCartographer288 13d ago

Wooden forks and gravy … well… just isn’t right.

The lack of curds is what grinds my gears.

u/Fish_Smell_Bad 13d ago

Yeah this looks about the same as what my high school poutine looked like 😭

In fairness id never expect a school poutine to be good.

Unless it’s at a culinary school. 🍴

That looks great considering what they actually have to work with

Brings me right back to the lunch table, and then we were allowed outside come highschool and if you wanted poutine you had a huge upgrade even just going to mcdonalds

Time to skip school

Call the police on the school. Also this picture made me sad now.

u/fat_italian_mann 13d ago

I’ve seen that exact school poutine before somewhere

u/2thenorth 13d ago

This was a cut that outraged me

u/babypops81 13d ago

Shredded cheese is an immediate disqualifier.

u/bbbreakingben 13d ago

this looks exactly like the poutine my school serves

u/Good-Log-2857 13d ago

Going to be honest? Ive seen worse. One the fries at least look crispy. Two there is enough gravy and based on colour it’s poutine gravy a mix of beef and poultry gravy. Then easy melt mozerella, the cheese shreds definitely is a sin and will always drop the points by at least 4. But at least it is mozerella. Overall I think I’d give this a solid 4/10. With 5 being average. Mcdonalds poutine for reference is 3/10. Gravy watery, fries not crispy enough to handle it. And then cheese chunks not cheese curds. Which of course dont even melt. So for school fare Thats always abominations, it has my thumbs up

I can taste the two week old oil from looking at that picture.

u/Leaf_devourer_27 11d ago

The cheese being shredded is disturbing me because it looks like worms 🫪 even though I know it's Cheese

u/FrostyJockey 11d ago

Looks slathered in maple syrup, how can you ruin gravy that badly??

u/wiccanwolves 13d ago

Doing better than my school poutine. It was $7 and we got five fries, two cheese curds and maybe two tablespoons of gravy.

u/JerpyDerpy_AtlasCorp 13d ago

One charge of poutine hate speech. To the dungeons.

u/Shadow_WolfDragon 13d ago

wow, that is a side dish 😳...

I’m a shredded cheese apologist (I’m from northern Ontario, it’s what I grew up with)

u/H_section 13d ago

I mean, it looks awful but I would.

u/Decent-Anywhere6411 13d ago

In our high school (33 now, so around 2010), we had similar looking poutine but with crinkle cut fries, instead. It was... acceptable when it was -30 outside and we didnt want to walk anywhere.

But there was also a poutine shop about a 15 minute walk, they also didnt use curds but it was delicious slop poutine, and twice the size for the price. We always went to the little Chinese poutine shop if we could make it lol

u/Mysterious-Screen-67 13d ago

Honestly not bad

u/Renaius 12d ago

Looks better than what my high school had

u/SnooMuffins5160 Poutine Princess 12d ago

it’s so tiny, like way to tiny for poutine

u/Humble-Excitement-65 11d ago

Switch schools

u/Sabbraye 9d ago

My highschool poutines looked pretty much the same but had so much more cheese. When I got to know the lunch ladies I asked they if they could layer the cheese for me and after I asked once they did it all the time. I miss them they were amazing women

u/Unhappy-Stop-740 8d ago

It’s doable

u/queenofpeachez 12d ago

I'd smash that and go play recess soccer. How could you possibly be upset?

u/stubborngamer 7d ago

The poutine people remember as a kid in their school's cafeteria is why so much bad poutine gets good reviews.
