(Poutine: Fries topped with cheese -- usually cheese curds, but in this case shredded cheese -- and gravy) La Paryse, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
We decided to grab dinner at IKEA this evening because we were stopping there anyway to shop. I usually stick with the meatballs or salmon, but when I saw that they were offering their own local variant on poutine, I had to try it.
It was ... better than I was expecting. The meatballs made it needlessly heavy, but overall it was less greasy or salty than this dish is wont to be when prepared badly.
Just posting this photo to show that we also had a salad on this night and not just a very unhealthy poutine.
- patates écrasées

I was craving for a real poutine, but in Manitoba, real poutines are hard to find. Usually they either have too thick of a gravy or most commonly.. they use shredded cheese. I made my own poutine the other day, it turned out really delicious. I cut up some Manitoban grown potatoes for it, McCormick's Poutine sauce and fresh cheese curds from Manitoban cheese company Bothwell Cheese. It was delicious, this is the first poutine I have really enjoyed since being in Quebec. It sure beats eating a "Prairie Poutine"!
MFC made modified poutine catering for my taste (I don't like gravy, especially beefy gravy but he established I am ok with KFC gravy) and more importantly allowing for my failure to source curds locally.
So Vicious Dogs, possibly the bestest place in the -world-, recently started serving poutine. What is that, you ask? Fries, topped with cheese curds, smothered in gravy. BOOYA!
This was one of their first servings of it, and let me tell you - awesome. We had a Canadian on hand to give it the stamp of approval (it originated in Quebec and is mighty popular up North).
It's Canada's national dish, and it's only good if you get it from that most great Canadian institution, a chip wagon. :) (The ketchup is optional, but my favourite part!)
Fries, Daiya mozza shreds, gravy, and vegan bacon bits! A delicious poutine!

Why veganism:
Let’s hope Canadians are as nice as everyone says they are. I think I butchered their unofficial national dish.
