    Only a certain region of Canada knows what true poutine is anyway. The amount of mozzarella elsewhere is too damn high!

    Jokes aside, mozza will do in a pinch.

      When I was a kid we took the only vacation I have ever had in my life. We were living in Labrador at the time and someone made the dipshit decision of driving through Quebec for 7 days. We stopped at one place and I asked for poutine. The guy said something in return I couldn’t figure out with my limited French. Some American dude nearby (thick as shit southern accent kinda gave it away) said he was asking what sauce. Gravy wasn’t an option.

      Only a certain region of Canada knows what true poutine is anyway.

      Not everyone in that region knows what it is.

        I didn’t even mean the whole of Québec. I meant Eastern Ontario and southwestern Québec specifically. Anywhere else its very hard to find legit poutine. By legit I mean fresh cut fries, gravy, cheese curd and maybe one other topping like chives/crumbled bacon or something similar.

        Curd is the most important IMO.
