I MISSS GOOOOOOOD EAST COAST POUTINE. The crap here is so fake. Not the right cheese, not hot enough and the fries are never as good. I think I need to make my own batch soon.

oioooo look at those curds...no cheddar....:drool::drool:

well for my home-made one, which isnt nearly as good as a prime restaurant plate, is McCain Straight Cut fries, gouda curds and Cordon Bleu or St-Huberts poutine sauce. At least one a night when i'm not working.

Ok, the cheese I can probably find, but there ain't no way I'm gonna be able to find Cordon Bleu or St-Huberts at Safeway in San Jose, CA.

Hey, I'm making an effort to show some appreciation for Canadian culture here. The least ya'all could do is throw down with a recipe.

Fries, cheese curds, gravy. What's so complicated?

The trick though is that poutine cannot be "taught". Poutine west of Hull, ain't poutine....

just in case you want some fine cheese instead of safeway processed gouda :D

- Say Cheese, in Cole Valley. They're my favorite because they've introduced me to some incredible new cheeses, most of which I haven't been able to find elsewhere. Among other things, they're the most reliable source in the city for Clin Gorgonzola, my favorite blue cheese.

- Rainbow Grocery, on Folsom St. Their cheese department usually has around 150 different kinds of cheese, most of which have labels with useful descriptions. The list of specials posted up on the side wall is always a source for tasty inspirations. Although most of their stuff is pre-wrapped (and less conducive to sampling), I've rarely encountered a cheese there that's too old. And, of course, they have so much other good food there.

- 24th St Cheese Company, in Noe Valley. They got me hooked on good cheese. Nancy Ford, the proprietor (head cheesemonger?), doesn't suffer fools gladly, but she definitely knows her stuff. Their chalkboard of available cheeses is almost as impressive as the one at the Cheese Board. And like Say Cheese, they'll gladly let you sample anything without obligation to buy.

- Cowgirl Creamery, at the Ferry Building, has an interesting selection, but they're always mobbed on Saturdays (during the Farmer's Market) and they're really expensive. If you're at the market and they have something you want, it might be worth getting there 'cause it could be hard to find elsewhere, but it's too expensive to be a "main supplier".

Okay so say I want to make "pooteen". Curds in general aren't readily available like it sounds like they are in canadia. We've got cottage cheese and that's about it. Send me some names/brands of what you would buy to make poutine if you were in montreal, or perhaps concocting my theoretical pooteen?

It's fun typing that....pooteen........pooteen.......feels dirty for some reason.

"One thing everyone agrees on is that term "poutine" itself is derived from an Acadian slang term for "mushy mess" or "pudding" and is properly pronounced like this -- but variations abound, including poo-teen, poodyne, and poot'n. I have it on good authority from a web whore that poutine is pronounced "disco fries" in the big apple. Go figure."

Well the gravy is described as "spicey". That could mean a thousand things. Is it spicy due to pepper, chile, cardamom? There are numerous ways to come up with "spicey".

....and how "spicey" is "spicey" to the average palate of Northeastern Canadians? Your idea of "spicey" might be something slightly more powerful than oatmeal while my idea of "spicey" might induce seizures in some.

West of Hull? I suppose that depends on where Brett is right now dosen't it? Some golf course I reckon cuz he sure isn't playing hockey right now.;)

Living the dream.
I love my poutine here in MA. I make it myself with fresh cut fries, cheddar curds (I wish fresh but unfortunately store bought) and Franco American poutine sauce that I stock up on during the summer on one or two trips to Montreal while I'm in VT.

Yummy heart attack in a bowl.

I'm hitting the local Irish drowning joint tonight and guess what? yup - they serve poutine! (well i had to educated them on what poutine was...they were calling it Canadian Chips). I eat so much of it that I might have to start sponsoring them - would be way more efficient with 14 willie waller 2006.. Plus I think the poutine there is better since they use Cheddar – Mmmmmmmmmm cheddar!

no need to move to Canada.. plenty of poutine and beaver here :)

That burger is one of the most greasy looking things i have ever seen.

And poutine is one of the most sickening things i have ever eaten, deep fried chips covered in cheese and fatty lard gravy, gross.

I think the only thing i have eaten that was more greasy and fatty was deep fried mars bars.
