An Eastern Delicacy
There is nothing that is as truly Canadian as poutine – poo~teen. Chips (French fries), cheese, and, gravy…Many lay claim to inventing poutine so it's not really know who the true inventor really is. Suffice to say it is a dish that originated in Quebec, Canada, in the mid 50s.
Now, you will be forgiven if the idea of poutine doesn't make your mouth water with anticipation. It is, after all, a delicacy. Not many can stand up to the challenge of having it on a plate in front of them, never mind eating it!
For those that love poutine, it must be made carefully. No leftovers!
First, cut your chips/fries medium thick. Not too thin, not too thick. Fry them so that they go golden brown on the outside but stay nice and soft on the inside. Next, cover with some French cheese curd, fresh of course. Finally, immediately cover with hot chicken or turkey gravy and serve.
Yummy!
