By the way the secret of poutine is the sauce... and you can try as much as you want to mimic it you'll never be able to get close to it LOL... :cheers:

I can imagine non - native french speakers ordering poutine at a restaurant (or at the casse croute!) but pronouncing it like putain. Not a whole lot of difference in sound to those for whom french is a secondary language. You might get a raised eyebrow from the waiter.

Well let's see.....poutine is a serving of well-cooked french fries, sprinkled liberally with curd cheese and that special sauce or gravy ladled over top to melt the cheese and create an homogenous blend of potatoes, cheese and gravy. So that looks like golden brown with white bits and dark brown drippings.

I've heard of a few putains who match that description:rofl:

Yes, but its even more than that. Poutine is the classic Quebecois comfort food. They are raised on the stuff from when they are babies. It probably qualifies as the national dish of Canada, or at least of Quebec.

You can get it in the finest Montreal restaurants or at any carnival or 'fete'. You can get it kosher, or even vegetarian. The restaurants in Montreal often add non traditional toppings though so a purist might object. The best is probably obtained off a street vendor and eaten out of a white plastic cup on the street

Its not the most healthy food to eat and if made wrong it becomes a greasy sloppy gooey mess. Thats the problem with the place near my house, their poutine is junk.

Well dude I hates poutine no matter what type they are... it's very difficult to digest and first I don't like potatoes in any forms and I'm lactose intolerant LOL. First time I've got poutine and I didn't know my condition I had the worst ever stomach cramps and my ass burned almost from shitting so much LOL. Because not only Poutine his a perfect laxative but the cheese on me worked its magic... might want to use it as an alternative enema :rofl::rofl::rofl:

The original poutine is not Kosher, shoudln't have pulled pork and was much better made with "petit quebec" curd cheese, which that cheese doesn't taste at all how it use to in the 80. Poutine is in itself a very greasy food and not good at all for your health, cheese if full of fat, fries is full of fat and the original sauce was made out of a type of sour beef broth (which I call a stomach bomb). The sauce normally is thicken with a roux... now if you know what a roux is you will acknowledge that it is flour and oil (therefore more fat).

Poutine was create in the 50s by a Victoriaville restaurant owner although many claimed to have invented it after him. Although Classic as you said, Quebec is actually known for his high class cuisine and Poutine is considered a very low class dish. Although it's popularity grew wary and started showing in higher class restaurants.

I know the original way of making poutine, but trust me I can make it but I'll sure won't eat it :rofl::rofl::rofl:

No dude hell no, since you came so often in Quebec or that you actually lives in the province of Quebec you should know that we eat fairly well. And poutine is not a dish, it's a fast food, hence certainly not Canada's national dish even though they said it in Wikipedia, that's pure balderdash, Canada's national dish used to be beans, a piece of lard covered with maple syrop. But since we are very multicultural, Canada's national dish is all national dish from all ethnic backgrounds. And I have children who'd eat a poutine once every two years and each time they regret it hahahahaha!

Hate to burst your bubble, Behrluvr, but poutine is known only in Quebec and in some eastern areas of Ontario where Franco culture has crossed over. No, it's not a national dish in Canada and is very far indeed from being the comfort food in la belle Province - and no parent of my knowledge ever fed poutine to a baby. You speak as though you're an authoritative word on Canada and Quebec, that's very interesting. My understanding is that you moved to Montreal a while back, and according to your post in another thread, you live in the northeast end of the city (Saint-Leonard maybe?) in a Portuguese enclave. Funny, Little Portugal is well known as being the former Jewish area of older Montreal, situated around Boul. St-Laurent and Rachel as I recall. Perhaps a spearhead has moved outward, but the statistics dept. of McGill University's Social Science faculty doesn't seem to note this, and their stats are recent, from March of this year. Perhaps this is a very new gathering.

Me, I'm just a native from Terrace Mont Royal, and then the west island, who moved away to do my thing. I get back quite regularly though, about 6 weeks ago was my latest. Can't fool the natives, dude.

 

[SimplyJakeAndAlex]

Parent who feed their babies with Poutine should be arrested and thrown in jail for gastrointestinal hijack on their babies...and I can just imagine the diaper of a baby after eating Poutine... well diapers are good up to 30 pounds right?:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Me, I'm just a native from Terrace Mont Royal, and then the west island,

And I was raised between the 47th to the 49th parallel north of Quebec (if you wonder where that is, think about James' Bay)... from the early 80 to the early 90 and moved to Montreal. In my very Nordic home town comfort food was a very good bowl of soup after shoveling snow for hours and "la tabarnac de charrue" [goddamn snow blower] would push it all back in our fucking driveway.:rofl::rofl::rofl: ah memory lane lol

Hmmm, I do live in a Portuguese enclave but not in Montreal, in the USA, where did you get that idea? I've been visiting and hanging in Quebec since a kid but mostly around Quebec City in the city of Levis (near CEGEP). I love poutine and make a point of having it when in Quebec. Like I said I can get it here but it is garbage, much better off some basic roadside stand in Canada. Love it when I can get it, a treat. Wouldn't make it at home though.

Why not it's actually not that difficult to make you know...it's far from being a roasted honey turkey:rofl: next time you go in Quebec just ask them how they make their sauce... and old casse-croute owner would be more than happy to brag about it

Well let's see - in the thread "Age Difference", your remarks were, in part:

Well, yeah, I've been hanging in Quebec since my teen years, so much so I somehow picked up speaking French..........
I live in a Portuguese immigrant community here in the northeast, the language and culture here is Azorean. When you go into a bank, market, liquor store, or coffee shop, its like you've teleported to Sao Miguel.

Coupling those words with your mention of other stuff, put me in mind of you "seeming" to indicate Montreal as your current address. If I jumped to an erroneous conclusion, my apologies. I doubt that I was the only one who interpreted this incorrectly, but thanks for clarifying.

Well, as you implied, its not particularly healthy for you. Just like once in a while I'll have a Twinkie, or a McDonalds double cheeseburger. I wouldn't want to start eating poutine regularly. Same as with eating fries, I like them of course, but only on occasion.

And what about the fries? They themselves are difficult to make. You have to have a deep fryer, you must fill it with what? a 1/2 gallon or more of oil? If the temp is too cool you get a sloppy mess. Too hot you get a burned mess. Deep frying takes skill, equipment, and wastes lots of cooking oil.

So the fact of the matter is poutine takes a lot of effort and cooking skill to make right.

Oh Behrluvr lol I am a cook and ;poutine to me is so easy to make it's almost a joke and trust me I can deep fry fries without a deep fryer just like my grand mom was doing it in the old time, with a casserole on an open fire filled with veggie oil... and no it is not a high class process to make poutine as you'd be surprise that most quebecers knows hows to make them and some have come with their own sauce recipes. It is not rocket science and if you just want me to tell you how to make it just ask!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

[SimplyJakeAndAlex]

It's not healthy for everyone... would you take a full spoon of butter in your coffee? Well take two or three tablespoons of butter and that's how much fat you ingest when having a poutine... but if it's once in a while that's just fine.

 

[hawtsean]

The DEEP in deep frying is relative, and one need only have sufficient hot oil to cover the food. I guess that kitchen appliance manufacturers have made it easy to forget that deep frying existed long before electricity and stainless steel cookers did. Cooks of earlier times would routinely do potatoes, fritters, croquettes and such in a cast iron frypan or Dutch skillet, without burning down the house.

I've been following the Atkins style of eating for about 5 years. You don't concern yourself with fat content, its the potatoes which you need to watch. I like them of course, but its a rarity I have them. No I wouldn't put butter in my coffee, I use light cream without any sugar. As for butter, I put that in everything.

Jesus man - be careful on that diet!

I've seen it destroy a friend of mine's life. It's a very unnatural way of eating, and it can throw your brain chemistry out of whack - it literally drove my mate insane. We were sharing a house at the time, and he became paranoid and delusional, and it came to an intervention when he trashed the place in a rage.

He was taking things to extremes, so maybe you're taking an atkins-esque approach rather than an all out meat and fat binge, but please be careful - these fad diets are no joke!

Despite the claims of the Atkins diet, the good doctor's medical peers are not really in agreement. Any Board-certified Endocrinologist or Nephrologist will quickly warn you against high levels of ANYTHING, especially protein. A balanced diet with some of all the food groups, proper portion control, regular exercise and self-discipline will bring one's weight under control. Of course, the more weight to lose, the longer it will take. Rapid loss diets are medically unsound - again, one should ask a Physician directly, rather than consulting a fad diet website.

There is no poutine diet that is healthy, BTW
