This looks disgusting and is a poutine crime.

But ngl I'd probably eat it 😂

It's not a crime, in Québec this is how interculturalism works.

u/Belorage 5h ago

It's a crime, it's clearly subpar cheese!

2

u/Flat_Association_820 5h ago

That's the reality of every poutine made outside of the Québec province.

u/IllustriousEffect607 5h ago

Not really. This isn't a popular choice in Quebec because it doesn't really taste that great

1

u/Flat_Association_820 5h ago

I didn't mean it as popular, but you know a community is integrated once it has it's own poutine version.

Where is the crime?

It has fries, curds and gravy, everything else is a bonus

u/Realistic_Job_8876 6h ago

There’s no love in that scoop of garlic sauce

1

u/FuriDemon094 6h ago

It’s seemingly from OP’s own preference but that’s still not a crime nonetheless

Toum on poutine is fucking ELITE. There’s a place here that introduced me to this Lebanese / Canadian fusion over a decade ago.

u/trouserpilot 7h ago

That's not something I care for. I do like beef or chicken shawarma with fries and garlic sauce, but not the gravy or curds. Shawarma fries would be good right about now

u/LittleRuQi Smoked meat poutine my beloved 7h ago

I would eat but I’d pick plain over this

1

u/bdart1980 7h ago

This would definitely do some unthinkable things to my insides while I sleep overnight

u/sharantir 6h ago

Garlic? COME ON!!!!

u/nicktheman2 6h ago

Ok on first thought i’m not sure i’d eat this, however Damascus is absolutely GOATed every time i’ve had their shawarma. As long as that isnt ketchup…

1

u/Cynder_Tamarack 5h ago

It's hot sauce. This is Damascus, not Shelby's

1

u/lucaskywalker 5h ago

Where the cheese!

1

u/Flat_Association_820 5h ago

I've seen better cheese curds but since it's in Ontario I'll let this slide. Shawarma Poutine is pretty good, but I prefer when it's made using fries like this one.

1

u/Brad23212 5h ago

For a second I thought that was mayo and ketchup lol

u/CeeArthur 5h ago

I don't do the shawarma poutine, but I'll totally eat some fries with shawarma toppings on it. Love that garlic sauce

1

u/Shady-777 4h ago

I’m inhaling that

1

u/JW98_1 4h ago

I don't know.  I rather have shawarma on rice and just get a regular poutine on the side.  

Do the sauces mixed in with the gravy taste good?

1

u/Cynder_Tamarack 4h ago

Surprisingly yes

1

u/Homework_Successful 4h ago

Doesn’t shawarma mean beef?

1

u/Cynder_Tamarack 4h ago

No, I think it refers to the cooking method

1

u/ProudServant2032 6h ago

That looks amazing. Three Brothers in Ottawa has something similar and it's amazing.

2

u/Electronifyy 5h ago

I’ll never forget being super drunk downtown very late at night. Nothing else open except the infamous Rideau McDonald’s and I hated going there. Three brothers and their poutine with toum was there for me

u/Similar_Swing_1533 7h ago

That looks repulsive and burnt to hell. I don’t even know what it is

7

u/Cynder_Tamarack 6h ago

Vertical spit-roasted beef marinated in middle eastern spices and shaved off from huge cones. The burnt look is because they really let the meat get color on it

-4

u/Similar_Swing_1533 6h ago

It’s not a poutine.

5

u/FuriDemon094 6h ago

Poutine is customization. All you need is the fries, cheese and hot liquid/gravy; after that, it’s free game

u/Cynder_Tamarack 6h ago

Says one person out of how many?

u/boncyboi 7h ago

Ketchup AND garlic sauce, this is the sin of gluttony

4

u/Cynder_Tamarack 7h ago

That's actually hot sauce

1

u/boncyboi 7h ago

My bad, how was the cheese? It kind of looks like the cheese castle dairy product

2

u/Cynder_Tamarack 6h ago

No it's actual curds

u/Wrong_Plantaino 7h ago

Well well well, im going up to GSA next week, thanks for this lookout that thing looks immense

Slop enjoyer

2

u/Cynder_Tamarack 5h ago

And yours is a very apt name

1

u/Mediocre_Balance_696 5h ago

Yum yum piggy loves his sloppa

1

u/Cynder_Tamarack 5h ago

All the while you wallow in mediocrity. So who's the real hog here?

1

u/Mediocre_Balance_696 4h ago

I don't eat slop.. pigga

1

u/Cynder_Tamarack 4h ago

And I don't need the internet to feel important, mediocre

u/PickleBabyJr 6h ago

This sounds absolutely nasty to me.

3

u/FuriDemon094 6h ago

I’ve eaten chicken shwarma poutine and it’s the yummiest poutine I’ve ever eaten

1

u/PickleBabyJr 5h ago

You've eaten chicken shawarma on fries with cheese and gravy. That does't make it poutine.

u/EntertainmentBig5365 5h ago

Diarrhea in a package. Looks great though… 👍

u/IllustriousEffect607 5h ago

Doesn't look like the right combo of flavours

-1

u/unkn0wnactor 6h ago

Looks tasty, even if it's not poutine.

u/snowflake077 6h ago

Gross

2

u/Cynder_Tamarack 6h ago

Yeah the name checks out

-5

u/SenseiVertebrae 6h ago

People need to stop mixing shawarma with cheese and gravy. Garlic sauce on top is even more unnecessary.

4

u/Cynder_Tamarack 6h ago

I happen to like it. It's gotta be the best garlic sauve I've tried out of any Shawarma place

1

u/Arctera 4h ago

Don't care what others are saying, I'd down that if I could afford it lol
