Over a couple of beers, my son told me that having come to Canada, I simpy must try Poutine. What is poutine? Artery clogging heart attack on a plate: this is the famous poutine from Canada. Poutine is a Canadian dish from Quebec, made with french fries, topped with brown gravy and curd cheese. Mine is the plain version and i could barely finish 25% of it. (Montreal, Canada, Dec. 2012)

La Banquise has some indoor seating and some outdoor seating and feels quite dinery. The cheese curds on the poutine did not squeak (unlike the fresh ones I bought at the farmer's market), nor were they melty.
Vegetarian poutine. I substituted mushroom veloute for chicken and added fried onions and red pepper. It was wonderful, but I felt like I didn't want to eat for two days.

A Canadian dish, for those unfamiliar with it: French Fries smothered in cheese curds and mayo, and covered in gravy.
Finally getting some real poutine, at Chez Ashton in Old Quebec. (The kids didn't like it much, but yay, more for me!)
Poutine is a dish consisting of French fries topped with fresh cheese curd, covered with brown gravy and sometimes additional ingredients. The French fries are of medium thickness, and fried so that the insides are still soft, with an outer crust. The gravy is a light chicken, veal or turkey gravy, mildly spiced with a hint of pepper. Heavy beef or pork-based brown gravies are typically not used. Fresh cheese curd (not more than a day old) is used. To maintain the texture of the fries, the cheese curd and gravy must be added immediately prior to serving the dish. Fast food combination meals in Canada often have the option of getting french fries "poutinized" by adding cheese curds (or shredded cheese on the Prairies) and gravy.
Outside Canada, poutine is found in northern border regions of the United States such as New England and the Upper Midwest. In Maine and northwestern New Brunswick, poutine may be called "mixed fries", "mix fry", or simply "mix" although the term "poutine" has been gaining in popularity in recent years, especially in Aroostook County. Residents sometimes pronounce the "poo-tine", but most pronounce it "poot-tsien". The most common pronunciation with anglophones in the Maritime provinces of Canada is usually "poo-tin"; or "poo-teen".

What we see here is a typical case of poutine eyes. Katy had a few drinks. Fairly early in the night she developed a particular glint in her eye. Every now and then would awkwardly inject the word poutine into an otherwise normal conversation. As the night proceeded, Katy's efforts panned out: seemingly by happenstance, everyone began to speak of a poutine run. By 2AM, this poutine run happened. Upon the arrival of the delicious mixture, Katy was struck with a smile that could not be wiped off her face. This poutine joy is captured here. Not photographed is the classic look of pain (more precisely stomach pain) after eating the poutine. This look, which I'm sure you can all imagine, should not be mistaken for regret. This trip will be hit with that poutine eyes again soon.
The poutine we drove all the way to Quebec for. It's not really all that great, but hey, it's poutine! In Quebec!
We tried poutine, a very popular food in Montreal: french fries covered with gravy and mixed with semi-melted cheese curd.
Terri loved it. I did not.
We're at the huge food court in the underground mall at Centre Eaton.
Genius. The fries were cut into blocks and stacked with Pont-Neuf and covered in a red wine based "sauce brune".
I can never have a normal poutine again. ;)
