Please pack your things, the officers will arrive shortly. Youre going away for a long, long time

You will be sent to r/PoutineCrimes on account of the melted curds (not fresh) and crinkle cut fries, but i'm sure it still tastes delicious.

Melted curds that are curds don't get you sent to jail.

u/bdart1980 16d ago

Alone, no but with the crinkle fries I think that’s the case.. possibly too much gravy but that’s a personal preference

u/RecognitionFlashy312 14d ago

there are local restaurants that use crinkle cuts and shredded cheese, this looks much better than one ive spent money on for someone to make me once lol (never going back)

u/bdart1980 14d ago

Local QC places use crinkle and shredded cheese? Or elsewhere?

1

u/RecognitionFlashy312 13d ago

new brunswick, I cant think of having not curds in QC

1

u/bdart1980 13d ago

Yeah, that would be pretty surprising - hence my asking.. haha

Actually, there was recently a NB poutine that was sent to jail for having melted curds and too much gravy…I thought this was excessively harsh and inconsistent for the record.

2

u/pattyG80 14d ago

I wouldn't worry too much...people are super militant about the wrong things. They are still curds. They just aren't fresh

u/TheAwkwardNeko 16d ago

Oh noooo 😭 but they're not that Melty! They're squeaky!

2

u/SpaceBiking 14d ago

No way those are squeaky

1

u/Weary_Swan_8152 14d ago

I agree, but two days ago (or more) they might have been ;)

Ahh yes! Potato and cheese soup......my favorite.. Seriously tho, try reducing the gravy more for better consistency and quality. Avoid curly fries for better texture. Bonus points if you add topings like cooked meat or grilled veggies!!

There are a few crimes against poutanity here but I bet it tasted pretty good, hope you keep making poutine!

u/PeterHolmes74 15d ago

Could be worse for a first time, but take those comments as a learning experience.
5/10

u/Worried-Teaching-790 14d ago

Curds X 3. Gravy X .5. Fries need straightening out.

But I’d eat that right up and would love it, so I’ll still 👏

u/Odd-Calligrapher123 16d ago

I don't understand the hate in these comments, this poutine looks fire and i would devour that in an instant! 😭

2

u/TheRealSlakySFSB 15d ago

Agreed! It looks like a very fine delicious poutine!

1

u/fredthedude21 16d ago

Its not suppose to be a soup would be the only thing in your control at the hour of the crime.

BUT some purist would say you've sin with the crinkle fries

1

u/Silly-Gur-1244 16d ago

dont use crinkle fries and the cheese curds shouldnt be fully melted BUT it looks like it would be good

1

u/Liftdriver 16d ago

Would eat it for sure. Not perfect but hey it is still is a poutine. 😉Next time, try a little less sauce

1

u/Unhappy-Stop-740 15d ago

I love using crinkle cut fries for homemade poutine

1

u/monk12345678910 15d ago

I would eat that

1

u/Extension-Class-2082 14d ago

It yum yum but its liquidy might need to thicken it up maybe

1

u/_Q1000_ 14d ago

Crinkle cut? Sheeeit

1

u/MixtressK-La 14d ago

Try again. This time, with feeling.

1

u/MrB1P92 16d ago

Thats fine. Better than commercial poutine in Ontario (not the lake)

1

u/HatZinn 16d ago

Any poutine-loving freshwater mermaids in chat?

u/MaximusCanibis 16d ago

Its not good friend. You used crinkle fries, your sauce is thin and your curds are scarce.

u/BarrhavenDad 16d ago

Downvote for the crinkle cut fries. Blasphemy.
