    As a Canadian I welcome our new American refugees. Please leave your guns at the door and be sure to grab your free plate of poutine when you arrive.

        Sadly it’s not that common here either TBH. There are lots of places to get poutine, just not so much good poutine

          Last time they forgot the gravy. Time before that it was barely gravy, more water that had once heard of gravy, and not enough cheese.

          The fries are always sad fries, ~50% to be limp shoestrings that cannot bear toppings, which is extra inexplicable because we do other kinds of cheese fries here, and any chef worth shit knows how stupid that is.

      I’ve only ever had poutine from Epcot. I really like it, but for those who have tried it there and also the real thing, does it compare?

          Not true. It’s just not AS good. It’s pretty hard to mess up fries, cheese, and gravy. Just be wary of anything with more ingredients than those big three.

              Usually a darker gravy, beef, maybe vegetable, but there’s so many variations. Your best bet is to have your poutine that has fries that are cut large, cheese curds (St Albert’s is best) and your beef gravy. Try that first, then venture out to new toppings.

              I’ve always made it with half chicken half beef. I dunno if that is correct, but Canadians that have tried it said it was good.

                You could feed a canadian raw sewage and they’d still compliment your cooking just to be polite.

      I would like to but I’d need the guns to protect from the neighbors to the south. Have you seen them? They crazy. Also moose. Have you seen them? They crazy.
