Poutine - Why Canadians? Why?

Does anyone else see it? That map of England looks like a dog sitting up, and its brain (Northern Ireland) just exploded out the back of its head.
I can't figure out if Cornwall would have been wagged, or licked a lot. cn
It does.
But it's backwards...That was my first thought :lol: I'm not sure why, or how that makes sense :lol:

I like Wiki's definition of this dish...even they think it's a pile of shit.

In other meanings of poutine, the existence of a relation to the English word pudding is uncertain. One of these additional meanings — the one from which the name of the dish with fries is thought to derive — is "unappetizing mixture of various foods, usually leftovers."

I actually have friends in Cornwall, they laugh at the various Canadian versions...it's not even close to the original. They also complain about their own restaurants b/c they cater too much to tourists. English food is nothing to write home about to begin with when compared to the Greeks or Italians etc.
Now I'm going to get into trouble...lol. Hmm, let's take an order of perfectly good fries and make soggy with liquid and other various "leftovers".

The one English dish that I truly like is fish&chips.

I like the true cod variety. But back when i lived in civilization, there was this microbrewery/eatery that made a beer-battered salmon&chips with dill tartar sauce. Ambrosial, esp. with a pitcher of a pale ale. Dang and dang ... it's too EARLY to have the munchies. maybe I'll whip up some Eggs Maledict. cn

What American do you know eating straight up butter?

The female population starves themselves, and the male population is eating meat...Or dick (If they're vegan and stuff)

Butter hasn't been popular in America since people stopped cooking pies at home :dunce:
deep fried butter on a stick:

My mind boggles at deep-frying soda. It sounds like instant Yellowstone. Tossing a can of unopened soda into a restaurant-sized deep fryer sounds like a recipe for murder one. cn

Actually, that picture was taken at the Iowa State Fair and it's showing up in malls. They add honey and sugar to the batter.



Not anymore. It's becoming a "trend". Just what we need, MORE fat.
That's crazy.
I thought America was done with butter and on to salt and sugar.

I do want to dry deep frying a whole bunch of random stuff myself one day.
That would be fun. Like fried PB & J is probably the best thing EVER :D :D :D

But to just go buy it, and eat it from a stand is like... ...Just get funnel cake, be a normal human being.

is there a poutine place in Socal? fuck im hungry looking at the pic
Probably not...It's hard to find in the states. But also super easy to make. I just tried for the first time last night and it's pretty hard to fuck up. Here's what you need:
1. Mozzarella cheese (curds are better for it, but shredded is okay too)
2. French fries (frozen or fresh, whatever)
3. Brown gravy

All you need to do is shallow fry the french fries in a pan, then put them into a bowl and put gravy and cheese on top. ta-da.

You have now had a real live Canadian (TM) teach you how to make poutine.
