Poutine is a dish that's almost impossible to describe to the uninitiated. How can you explain the appeal of cheese curds, crispy fries and brown gravy? But a delicacy it is, although a "poor man's" treat. Found everywhere in Canada with a high population of French Canadians, including Quebec and Manitoba. You can even find it in restaurants in Winnipeg!

Ingredients
French Fries
Beef Gravy
Cheese Curds
Preparation
- Deep- or pan-fry French Fries – more flavorful than oven baked (keeps them crispier)
- Put a small amount of cheese curds on the bottom of a dish or bowl (the fresher the curds, the better)
- Place hot French fries on top
- Cover with more cheese curds
- Smother with hot beef gravy
Et voila, poutine. Merci, Quebec!
