A few questions to anyone who eats "Poutine"

[HereSince1628]

How is that pronounced?

Does the gravy cover the cheese curds and fries, or does the cheese curd rest on top of the gravy and fries?

Should poutine be considered a plural or a singular noun?

Is it considered a meal in and of itself or is it (are they) a side?


If it is a side, with what main course is it served?

1. In NJ, it's called Disco fries (mozzerella instead of cheese curds)

And it's a full meal for fucked up people across the state. The gravy covers the cheese & fries.

[HereSince1628]

2. Why a meal only for "fucked up people across the state?"

Gravy over the cheese is an interesting insight.
Served as a meal, check. But what's the deal with only for fucked up people???

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4. Because it's usually consumed by really drunk and/or stoned people in a diner at 2am

[HereSince1628]

5. Oh, that's an interesting perspective. Do only drunk French Canadians eat Poutine?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. No clue about that

[Inchworm]

16. Drunk hillbillies at French Canadian establishments

eat poutine too

:rofl:

[ghostsofgiants]

17. No, drunk anglophones eat the monstorsity as well.

x(

Even non-drunk ones. A friend of mine once did a newspaper article reviewing the various poutines available around the city. Nasty, nasty stuff.

25. Drunk seems a constant. Is that due to a need for stomach calming fats

or is it just to solve the insatiable munchies that occur at about 2:30 AM?

[ghostsofgiants]

31. I'd guess a little from column A, a little from column B.

3. If you really want to have fun

keep innocently ordering "poutang" until someone reminds you that it pronounced otherwise ;)

:rofl:

6. Gravy on fries is weird, but what you said....it just ain't right.

[Inchworm]

13. I was a poutine eater of the after 2am and drunk variety

as mentioned above.

There was always a hopping Canadian diner/club etc on the beaches of south florida.

Good eats!

:D

14. Gravy on fries is AMAZING.

Gravy and cheese together, however, is disgusting.

7. I have had Poutine

:scared:

We'll leave that delicacy in Canada

[HereSince1628]

8. Do you know how it is pronounced?

Or for that matter, is it considered a plural or a singular?

[LynneSin]

10. Yes this is the pronounciation....

19. I guess that's poo-tine

[MissMillie]

11. In some parts of Canada

Poutine is a potato wrapped meatball.

quite yummy

Oh, the pronunciation... put - n (the put is pronounced just like the word "put")

[HereSince1628]

20. thnx

[DeepBlueC]

12. poo TIN

that's what I hear in Canada and I believe that to be Quebec pronunciation although French French would pronounce it poo TEEN. So take your pick. Actually in Ontario I hear both.

[HereSince1628]

21. thanx

[Symarip]

15. I just googled this... stuff

I think I threw up a little in my mouth.

[Shell Beau]

24. Yeah, that looks like some nasty stuff.

[ghostsofgiants]

18. Poutine is the most disgusting thing ever.

I love fries and gravy. I love cheese fries. But combining the two? Should be considered a crime against humanity.

[redqueen]

22. What kind of gravy goes good with fries?

It doesn't seem like a winning combination.

[HereSince1628]

23. recipes I see are artificial gravy built from a toasted roux and beed soup base

I imagine that is creamy, and sort of like a McDonald's approach to an un-gravy.

[Bertha Venation]

26. they make it with beed? no wonder it's disgusting

;)

[HereSince1628]

27. Oh those terrible fingers! It's not me really, my fingers have been taken over by aliens...

Ya, beed. That's a reaaaaallllly tough form of beef.

[Bertha Venation]

28. Hee hee.

:hi: I'm often struck by Fat Finger myself. Dread disease.

[ghostsofgiants]

30. Beef, chicken, mushroom, whatever.

Trust me. It is delightful.

[applegrove]

29. Kentucky Fried Chicken makes a great Poutine.
