Poutine, in its original form, is incredibly simplistic. All that it requires are: Medium cut fries (that are fried to maintain a soft core), brown gravy (which is usually turkey or chicken based, never beef), and Fresh cheese curds. The dish is always prepared just before it is served to ensure that the fries do not become too soggy, and to ensure that the gravy and cheese melting is kept in check.
As mentioned before, Poutine does nothing but bad things to your body and there is very little to no real nutritional value to this meal. However as bad as it is for you, it makes up in flavor. Never have I had anything as delicious or flavorful as a poutine. Somehow the gravy and cheese come together in such a way that you would swear that there was actual turkey in it (There is in fact a variation that does have turkey, which is heavenly).
While Poutine is very easy to find in Canada, unfortunately it is exceedingly difficult to find a Poutine of decent quality here in California. Yes you could go to New York Fries, but to be honest it isn’t anywhere near as good as a proper Québécois poutine. I guarantee that as soon as I find something comparable I shall let you all know.
