When it comes to poutine I don't get fancy, but I suppose my favourite topper would be ketchup - weird, I know!
Slow cooked beef short rib. Also had pulled pork, but it doesn't hold a candle to my beloved short rib poutine (avec blue cheese!).
Sounds pretty good!
+1 the only time I use ketchup is on poutine. I've tried several variations of poutine but the standard with a little ketchup is still my favorite. I remember as a kid in the seventies, before I ever heard of poutine, I would order fries with gravy sprinkle parmesan cheese on it and squirt some ketchup on top, great now I'm hungry!Quote:

Blueberries eh? Never would've thought of that. Baked or fresh?
Gouda and smoked meat? Thats one I haven't heard of, I might have to pay them a visit!Quote:

I'm honestly not sure, but I'd be more than happy to investigate! Any excuse for a visit to BDT is a good one. :)Quote:

On poutine eh? Well for me it would have to be a flood of gravy. Then a (only one) Zigzag of Ketchup up across her. And sprinkled with pepper.
St. Hubert's gravy
Ah Poutine!!! havent had one in a long time but i must say just salt and a Ice cold coke in a small bottle is pretty hard to beat!
I will second this as an excellent option. I used to work at Jamie Kennedy's Wine Bar, where we did multiple versions of poutine each week.Quote:

Sorry....I got a bit fancy there.
I also like straight up old school gravy.
I'm not Canadian, nor been to Canada in at least a decade... but I love poutine. I top it with bacon or shredded pork bbq.
Im with you on that one. I ,love gravy and Ketchup togetherQuote:

Maxi, you got my mouth watering!
It's not only Canadian. Think you guys came through upstate New York in 1812 and picked it up from us!(:-). You've been using I81 and the Northway for quite awhile!
(no. We never forgave you for Fort William Henry(:-(.
Another Yankee trespasser!Quote:

That's it, I am going to buy some cheese curds and make my own. It has been too long and this thread is getting to me.

For dessert how about a New York -style cheesecake, mmmm.:)Quote:

A good afternoon for me back in the "Toronto days," would be to head down to the St. Lawrence market for lunch and getting a back bacon sandwich, a side of poutine... and washing it down with a pitcher of beer. Russian mustard on the back bacon - ketchup on the poutine : ).
The trick was seeing how much work one could do after that LOL!

Don't ruin it for the rest of us by publicizing it too much -- we've got too many Yanks invading this thread as it is (can't they read?!?)!
Were is the love for your American brethren? LOL ; )Quote:

At least I didn't marry one!Quote:

I went up to Niagara Falls a few weeks back and my wife's aunt and uncle (who are Canuks) met us and took us to some fancy hotel in Niagara on the Lake and we had lobster poutine. It was amazing.
A guy from VIRGINIA claims to be a Yankee?!? Doesn't that violate the Commonwealth's law? I'm calling Sheriff Joe Arpaio on you!Quote:
