No problem. Figured you and James (who the hell is brian?) could use a taste of home. (all puns intended).

Oh for those who dont know, its quebec style french fries witha thick brown gravy and melted curd cheese. MM MM good but about 1 zillion calories for a typical huge-ass serving.

edited for stupidity.

Why not?

 

[Crash_Tested]

Kind of like chili-cheese fries cept sub the chili with spicy-gravy Q-sauce stuff.

I'll take the chili cheese fries

 

[zedro]

it should be noted for a first-class poutine that the fries must be made from fresh potatoes with a sqare centimeter cross-section cut and they must be fried in oil from beef lard at least 1 week old (you can tell because the fries are dark brown...no pansy-ass McDork fries). The gravy must be from a secret receipe that the maker will never divulge (aka the best are always from original receipes, no generic store-bought crap). The curd cheese is, well, curded, sometimes gouda nuggets; and the proper melting vs. solid cohesion factor must be maintained.

Said poutine will also prevent hangovers if consumed before sleep. Also you should refrain from driving or operating heavy machinery a half-hour after consumption. Naps post-meal are strongly encouraged...

Oh man oh man, it's been waaaay too long. My dad's old office in Old Montreal had a great place nearby. I miss hanging out up there.
Think it'll keep in a FedEx container...
Some dry ice maybe...

Since Fraser lives on the 'Shore, I thought for sure it was from the place across the street from the big auto-park bus station...on Tachreau(sp?) Blvd??

 

[downhillzeypher]

Gawd that sounds good. Gained 5 pounds looking at it.

BTW, my new avatar is me doing a 10-14 foot double.

Ah yes, the good 'ol days!!!

Getting wicked-drunk at Annie's and then going over there for a poutine and then taking the 356 night bus home.

no sir. I spend more time in ste annes then i thought possible.

 

[S.G.D]

try one of bobs homestyle poutines in beaconsfield.

SO frikkin good.

[Roachmeister]

Ever tried the Poutine from Stratos?!?! Greatest ever! Ask for a small because a large size one will feed a family of 4 easily!

I agree though that it is the best 'hangover' suppressant ever!

Are you kidding? Look at the raw, berm cranking, bike tossing power contained in that simple pan.

The farts alone should add significant downhill acceleration.

But yeah, recipes must now follow in said forum.

follow me won't you?

 

[Curb Hucker]

That stuff must be good, Fries, Cheese, and Gravy/sauces are all things i love, and all of them together can only be that much better

 

[TN]

So, thats poutine, eh?

Is the gravy like american gravy? or is gravy just a generic term for sauce?

Looks like an excellent drunken 2am snack.

 

[HGR Frucci]

I think I ordered poutine from a McDonalds in Quebec once...IT had cheese curds and beef gravy. It wasn't bad.

I also had it at that little eatery off the mountain at Bromont and it was marginally better.

I need to find some gormet poutine

Poutine from McD??!?! Nasty!
You need to try some Ashton or Stratos poutine my friend!

Oh man! Even though it only 9'oclock in the morning, I would love a poutine from Ashton. There's one right down the street from my inlaws' house and my wife and I always make it a point to go at least once when we're up in Quebec visiting her friends and family.

I can't wait to tell her that there was a poutine thread on RM. She'll laugh her azz off!

Yeah i know! 9am and i'm thinking i should take a ride to Quebec City just for that!

 

[Shortbus]

can you add cheeseburgers in it? that looks awesome! so much for getting in shape i'm making a homemade version of that tonight. With cheeseburgers. and maybe a side dish or some sorts.

 

[tartosuc]

If you ever go to Ashton'S in Quebec city region, you have to try the "Dulton" wich is a poutiune with some meat on top of it...if you want even better you ask for a "dulton spécial" wich is the dulton with some hot dog wienners ontop of it!

Every time i go to quebec city i must go to ashton's...
by the way, everything else is good on the menu

Starto's is excellent too!

 

[Jozz]

Had too much half drunk poutines in my younger days... has been at least 10 years since I had a complete poutine... but I do once in a while steal a bite here and there...

A small poutine really is the best hangover prevention there is. I'm a complete lightweight when it comes to drinking, and Quebec has a way of always kicking my azz in that department. I can't remember ever waking up with a hangover there though because we always stagger over to the closest Ashton, stuff our faces, and THEN go to bed.

 

[Jozz]

Its funny, when I Googled poutine in the image search, Russia's president Vladimir Poutine came at position 14, right after 13 beautiful pictures of Quebec's own Poutines!!!

So who likes Italian poutine, replace brown gravy with spagetthi sauce... mmmmm tasty... :devil:

 

[Shortbus]

yeah that's like RAS-poutine!

 

[zod]

Fatkins Diet!! (looks good)

 

[toughguymagee]

I heard that if you mispronounce poutine it means something completely different that fries/gravy.

Is that true? (I am truly French ignorant)
