Poll: Chili Cheese Fries vs. Poutine (Canadian)

[RossMAN]

Canucks: Is Poutine (fries covered with gravy topped with cheese) any good?

Chili Cheese Fries are so good but oh so bad for you, then again aren't all things that taste good bad for you?

 

[Viperoni]

If the Poutine is made right, it's mmmmmmmmmmm bleh lasifgn asgovn (cheese talk )

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

How is that pronouced, poo-teen?

 

[N8Magic]

Poutine by FAR is the better of the two.

Good gravy is key, the "Gravy Powder--Just Add Water" won't cut it.
Also, another key is using cheese curds and not just shredded mozzarella. That way you get nice blobs of melted cheese. MMMMM yummy!

What does it take to make Poutine the right way?
I can see it now, Learn to speak Poutinese in just 10 minutes a day!.

How is that pronouced, poo-teen?

I've never heard anyone pronounce it but I'd say, poh-teen or maybe you are right, poo-teen just don't say poo-tang.

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

<< I've never heard anyone pronounce it >>

How do you order it then, just point to a picture and grunt/nod??

*chuckles* I guess so, or there must be some secret Canuck gesture which we Americans haven't learned yet, 'eh?

 

[toph99]

poutine all the way! New York Fries makes it the best IMHO and it's actually topped with cheese curds

 

[eakers]

mmm.....chili cheese fries
poutine makes me ill: maybe its cuz they takes something really high in fat (fries) add some liquid fat (gravy) and some solid mild fat (cheese)
but i still get a craving for it everynow and again.

*kat. <-- likes chili cheese fries more than poutine

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Cheese curds? Is it like cottage cheese on fries? Do they sell this stuff in Windsor, I've never heard of it.

 

[RossMAN]

Do you ever put green hot sauce on your Chili Cheese Fries? Maybe it's taco sauce or something like that.

 

[toph99]

nope, not like cottage cheese. you can usually buy packaged cheese curds at butchers(at least around here) they aren't wet and nasty like cottage cheese, they're actually quite tasty

 

[Angrymarshmello]

Chili Cheese Fries - three of the worst things for your heart and body that you can eat - all wrapped up into one package.

 

[Jmman]

Actually poutine gets my vote. I guess this is really a French Canadian thing....by the way, here is a link on how to pronounce it.....link

 

[Rand]

Putine is FAR better in my opinion. Not very healthy though, kinda fattening

 

[RossMAN]

I guess Poutine would be hazardous to your health since it's Gravy instead of Chili.

 

[Viperoni]

poo-teen is correct.
as is grunt-nod

 

[Hanpan]

I can't help but be repulsed at the sight of poutine. i have never tried either but i guess that is due to how bad that stuff is for you. But alot of the french people up here love and i mean love poutine. I've heard it's great but i still can't get my self to ingest taht crap.

 

[Viperoni]

hanpan's a deprived man.
Everybody give him a few minutes before we force-feed him a poutine

 

[toph99]

i wouldn't mind being force-fed poutine, infact, i invite the chance
my mother pronounces it pout-in, trying to make a fake french accent

 

[RossMAN]

Everybody give him a few minutes before we force-feed him a poutine

I'll videotape it then broadcast it over the web, are we ready yet?

 

[Viperoni]

*gets 2 pounds bag of curds*
*stirs up 60l pot of gravy*
*gets 100l container of french fries*
*pours all together*
*gets shovel ready*

The only time I tried Poutine, I loved it. Unfortunately, it was at Harvey's - probably not the best source for Poutine.

 

[Viperoni]

heh heh Harvey's and poutine's just don't mix well

 

[SonOfZeuz]

Actually harvys has really good tasting poutine
