Poutine for Global Street Food #SundaySupper

Poutine for Global Street Food

What a fun theme for this week, love it!! What first popped into my head was poutine and that is where I stayed. This is a great Canadian dish originating in Quebec, Canada in the late 1950s and is sold in diners, pubs, and chip wagons.

It makes the ultimate and most decadent of street foods. Crispy fried potatoes and cheese curds are doused in gravy, that is the traditional way to do it!!

Eaten sitting on the curb in Quebec!! Ken was just in Montreal and saw poutine first hand.

This wasn’t his lunch but a co-worker’s. They were literally eating it on the street. Can’t get more authentic than that for street food. This poutine had smoke meat added to it.

Things have become more extravagant with poutine over the years adding other toppings like bacon, pulled pork, smoked meats, lobster, shrimp, duck, caviar, and truffles.

I never liked poutine growing up thinking that cheese and fries don’t go together. Wow was I wrong!! Poutine has become more popular now and in mainstream locations like New York Fries.

That is where I have had my poutine of late, treating myself maybe once a year to the ooey-gooey goodness of a platter of fries slathered in all that cheese and gravy. Amber joins in the tradition also, usually having this at Christmas time.

It is so easy to make but you have to find the good cheese curd. We went to our local cheese shop to get the best we could find. It is even better if you can get the curds from Quebec but we settled on these from Ontario. I hope you try some poutine, homemade, or if you are in Canada right on the street!! ENJOY!!
