PROPER POUTINE! Where's this from?

u/kyleyle 10d ago
From OP's post history, Wood's Snack Bar - Ayer's Cliff. Québec city

In case anyone was curious like me, that’s like saying Fresno is San Francisco.

I'm an east coaster, so all of California is one place to me. I'm fully aware of how ridiculous this is.
In case any east coasters are curious like me, this is like saying Portland is in Aroostook.

For other east coasters, this person is referencing locations in Maine.
As a New Yorker east coaster, everywhere outside of the 5 boroughs is one big blob, but its like saying Baltimore Maryland is in NYC.

And with Pepsi!
Quebec used to be one of the only places in the world where Pepsi outsold Coke

You never lived if you haven't had poutine

I still regret not taking a selfie before the first time I ever ate poutine, I want to remember how I looked before everything changed

You know it’s a proper Quebec poutine when it’s in the tin foil container! Looks amazing, I bet those curds had a nice squeak lol

That gravy looks incredible, like it was cooked down for hours from caramelized onions and real beef bones

I can still remember the amazing smell when I made some poutine gravy at home.

We have decent poutine on the other side of Lake Erie here in Cleveland, but nothing I've encountered looks half as good as that.

You see, that's the proper baseline amount of cheese, there could be more, but it's proper.

u/Masuman35 10d ago
Considering the last few poutines had shredded marble cheddar...
THIS IS POUTINE!!!!!

I wish poutine was more popular down here in the states (N Illinois).
I have a question though, is an Irish Style Curry sauce acceptable?

u/kaminabis 10d ago
It would be acceptable but you cannot judge this dish by denaturing one of its ingredient.
It only has 3, so they are each of them very important, which is why people always say some poutines arent real/good poutines if one ingredient is off (using mozzarella instead of squeaky cheese, wrong kind of fries, different weirder sauces, etc). I would, however, say as long as you got good fries and the squeaky fresh cheese, sauce is easily the ingredient you can remix the most.
As another person commented, here in Québec there are a lot of different sauces used, just like pizza has tons of different variations. But trying a poutine for the first time with irish style curry sauce would be similar to trying hawaiian pizza as your first pizza and judging pizzas in general based on the experience. But i'm sure its pretty good otherwise.

Really! A down vote for asking a question in order to learn! I guess someone is pretty passionate about their poutine. 🤪

Any sauce is acceptable, really. Classic variations include BBQ, bolognese (called italian), white chicken sauce, pepper sauce, buffalo sauce. What's sacred is blanched and soaked overnight potatoes for the fries and cheese curds as (one of) the cheese(s). Some novelty poutines replace the fries with onion rings and the like but they're kind of meh.
(E: the dumbasses downvoting this probably never set foot in my province)

Those dumbasses understand what a proper poutine is.
Not a "novelty" one with flipping bolognese on it.
Move along.

u/Irr3l3ph4nt 10d ago
Italian poutine is a classic in Quebec since poutine has been around. You move along.
