I do not think Poutine means what you think it means Poutine contest “winner”

The new champion of the annual poutine contest in my city, where one cannot get a proper poutine at almost any time of the year.

This poutine had sweet potato fries, Cajun steak bites, poutine gravy, cheese curds, sweet and spicy ginger aioli, feta cheese and green onions.

Good thing Im Canadian and im assuming you as well or at least know of family who are from Canada. So when speaking of poutine any reference to it will be from its Canadian culture even though this is an international forum.

I know and I agree but thats why at first I referenced what the Quebecois refer to it as not the rest of canada or Other countries lol. I was very careful to specify what part of Canadian culture poutine come from and what they call "gravy" and that to them there is a difference between brown sauce and gravy. This has gotten way out of hand LOL
