    Poutine with regular cheese is like making wine with Welch’s grapefruit juice. It gets the job done, it’s cheap but it tastes like prune juice.

    Good Canadian poutine is with passable cheese curds and a cheaply made gravy from a box

    True peak gourmet poutine is a Quebecois Poutine with rich cheese curds, heavy hot flavorful homemade beef gravy with fresh cut potatoes thickly sliced and fried to a golden brown.

    Oh god … I haven’t had a good Quebec Poutine since last summer!!!

      If your poutine “tastes like prune juice”, you’re doing so many things wrong from the start. 👀

      Also, Quebecer poutine is the superior version, even though it’s the modern evolution of a long line. Thankfully, it’s better than its forebears — unlike the old fashioned, which finds it’s legacy skullfucked in broad daylight in Wisconsin with the addition of multiple fruits and a glass full of crushed ice & soda. Fuckin’ hell.
