Had a really rubbish day, on several fronts, so decided to drown my sorrows in some Poutine, as I have never tried it. It was decidedly meh. I don't get it.

Mmmm... there is a place in my town that does poutine with extra cheese and bacon. Much yummyness, my favourite comfort food!

Yeh, it,s OK but doesn’t set the world on fire, does it

Darkbendis · 22/11/2017 18:59

(they have "regular" poutine on the menu too, and a few others with various other things added to the basic recipe, but the one with extra cheese and bacon is my favourite)

Blasphemy.

Proper poutine is amazing.

Poutine is disgusting!
Especially the Canadian roadside diner original version with sticky sickly chicken gravy,

Ah, I think you’d built it up to be more than it is. It’s just a slight improvement on ordering normal chips.

It’s a good comfort food (though I’d rather have nachos or macaroni cheese personally). It’s not supposed to be a gourmet treat, even in Canada.

Grin gouda joke.
