Why is Poutine so rare in Canada?

But when I got to 1438 Commercial Drive, I didn't find Stormin' Norman's Spirit Grill but Vera' Burger Shack. Why is poutine so rare in the cournty of its own origin? That's like going to a dozen places in the US & not finding one place that serves hot dogs. I'm in Ottawa, and you can find it from chip wagons on almost every street corner downtown. At least from the ones who haven't scurried down to Florida for the winter. BTW, I love poutine, with real cheese curds, and I toss on some ketchup. Not too damn good for you, but what the hell... |

As someone just said it's "heart attack central" and even worse than Dutch French Fries with mayonnaise (IMHO of course). But at least the Dutch "patate met mayo" tastes good. Nex |

Looking for poutine in Vancouver is probably analogous to looking for hushpuppies in Seattle. I live in Seattle & have eaten hushpuppies here & see it on several menus around this area, as well as Boston clam chowder & Texas chili. |

Trust me! I've eaten it, and much prefer its venerable old ancestor the patate-sauce, unencumbered by frivolous dairy products. Sometimes three's a crowd, and those gawd-awful curds in poutine make for a dog's breakfast if you ask me. Ecoeurant. Of course there's no accounting for taste, so I guess we're both right. Nex |

Heck, even in Labrador you can get poutine. Personally, I shudder to even think about the mess, seeing it makes me gag. French fries were meant to be crisp, not gooey. Gabby |

The best poutine in Ontario can be found in Penetangishene on Georgian Bay at the diner by the Docks. This is a wonderful franco-Ontarian community in an area of Georgian Bay first settled by the French early in the 1600's see http://www.400eleven.com/penetanguishene.html |

That's your opinion, with which I agree, but it's not a universal taste. I wonder how many times I've had "gravy" poured over them in the UK?

The best thing about having using leftover roast beef to make a hot beef sandwich is the beef gravy on the fries. |
