I was recently at a popular Maine seaside resort and noticed that "poutine" was offered at many stands and restaurants. It is obviously Canadien and I thought I saw a picture of it which looked like an order of French Fries and some kind of brown meat gravy on top. Does anybody know for sure what this stuff is???

Poutine is very popular in Quebec. It is French fries mixed with
cheese and hot gravy. The heat of the French fries and the gravy
melts the cheese. Delicious....
I have had it in Quebec City a while back but can't really remember
what kind of cheese they used. Might have been what they call up
there "grain cheese". Similar to mozarella

I have just come back from visiting my family in the eastern townships
section of Quebec, and we were discussing poutine. I was told that
the cheese they use is curd cheese.

In my family, and in the section of Fitchburg where I grew up
(Cleghorn), which is the Canadian French area, poutines are made
of ground potatoes which are formed into a ball around some meat
(usually pork). They are then wrapped in cheesecloth and boiled.
After they are cooked, you can cut them up and fry them and serve
with sugar sprinkled over the top....there are lots of ways to eat
them.
By the way, a lot of people in Cleghorn are from Prince Edward Island
in Canada, so maybe poutines are served differently region to region.

Nashua House of Pizza (on Library Hill) has Poutine on the menu, and I've been there when people have ordered it. It's apparently a big seller there. Art | |||||
