Poutine (Quebec French pronunciation ˈputsɪn (help·info)) is a dish consisting of French fries topped with fresh cheese curds, covered with brown gravy and sometimes additional ingredients. [1]

Poutine is a diner staple which originated in Quebec and can now be found across Canada. It is sold by both fast food chains (such as New York Fries, Harvey's, Ed's Subs[2]), in small "greasy spoon" type diners (commonly known as "casse-croûtes" in Quebec) and pubs, as well as by roadside chip wagons. International chains like McDonald's,[3] A&W,[4] KFC and Burger King[5] also sell mass-produced poutine. Popular Quebec restaurants that serve poutine include Chez Ashton (Quebec City), La Banquise (Montreal), Louis (Sherbrooke), Lafleur Restaurants, Franx Supreme [6], La Belle Province, Le Petit Québec and Dic Ann's Hamburgers. Along with fries and pizza, poutine is a very common dish sold and eaten in high school cafeterias in various parts of Canada.




Typical Quebec poutine.
The dish originated in rural Quebec, Canada, in the late 1950s. Several Québécois communities claim to be the birthplace of poutine, including Drummondville (by Jean-Paul Roy in 1964),[7] Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, and Victoriaville.[citation needed] One often-cited tale is that of Fernand Lachance, from Warwick, Quebec, which claims that poutine was invented in 1957,[8] when a customer ordered fries while waiting for his cheese curds from the Kingsey cheese factory in Kingsey Falls (now in Warwick and owned by Saputo Incorporated). Lachance is said to have exclaimed ça va faire une maudite poutine ("it will make a damn mess"), hence the name. The sauce was allegedly added later, to keep the fries warm longer.
[edit]Classic Poutine

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.
[edit]Variations

There are many variations of poutine. Italian poutine is a common one which replaces the gravy with spaghetti sauce (a thick tomato and ground beef sauce, roughly analogous to Bolognese sauce), while another variation includes sausage slices.[9] Greek poutine consists of shoestring fries topped with a warm Mediterranean vinaigrette, gravy, and feta cheese. Mexican poutine, also referred to as carne asada fries, consists of fries, carne asada, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and pico de gallo. It is best served with hot sauce.


Poutine from La Banquise in Montreal.
Some restaurants in Montreal offer poutine with such additions as bacon, or Montreal-style smoked meat, although these are not as common. Poutine Dulton, which is offered in a few places, is made with ground beef, onions, and sausages. Some such restaurants even boast a dozen or more variations of poutine. For instance, more upscale poutine with three-pepper sauce, Merguez sausage, foie gras or even caviar and truffle can be found.[10]
Some named variations may not necessarily be prepared with the same ingredients in different establishments. For example, "poutine Galvaude" adds shredded turkey or chicken and green peas,[11] similar to the typical Québécois "hot chicken" sandwich.

Some variations eliminate the cheese, but most francophone Quebecers would call such a dish a "frites sauce" ("french fries with sauce") rather than poutine. Shawinigan and some other regions have Patate-sauce-choux where shredded raw cabbage replaces cheese.
Poutine can also sometimes be combined with pommes persillade (cubed fried potatoes topped with persillade) to produce a hybrid dish called poutine persillade.
Fast food combination meals in Canada often have the option of getting french fries "poutinized" by adding cheese curds (or shredded cheese) and gravy.
In Atlantic Canada, a variation topped with donair meat is offered as "donair poutine".

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",[citation needed] although the term "poutine" has been gaining in popularity in recent years, especially in Aroostook County.[citation needed] Residents sometimes pronounce the word "poo-tine", but most pronounce it "poot-tsien".[citation needed]. The most common pronunciation with anglophones in the Maritime provinces of Canada is usually "poo-tin" or "poo-teen".
These regions offer further variations of the basic dish. Cheeses other than fresh curds are commonly used (most commonly mozzarella cheese), along with beef, brown or turkey gravy. In the county culture especially, a mixed fry can also come with cooked ground beef on top and is referred to as a hamburger mix, though this is less popular than a regular mix.
A variation called "chips, cheese, and gravy", and in recent years nicknamed 'Cheegs', is served as a hang-over food or drunken snack in Australia and the United Kingdom.[citation needed]

In some parts of eastern Canada, the term poutine is not commonly used. In Baie Sainte-Anne, New Brunswick for example the word patachou is used to describe this dish. The term mozza-fries is also used in some parts of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
[edit]Etymology

The word poutine has a bewildering variety of meanings in French. The online version of the Dictionnaire historique du français québécois lists 15 different meanings of poutine in Quebec and Acadian French, most of which are for kinds of food.
The Dictionnaire historique dates the word poutine in the meaning "fries with cheese and gravy" to 1978. Other senses of the word have been in use at least since 1810.
While the provenance of the word poutine is uncertain, some of its meanings undoubtedly result at least in part from the influence of the English word pudding. Among its various culinary senses, that of "a dessert made from flour or bread crumbs" most clearly shows this influence; the word pouding, borrowed from the English pudding, is in fact a synonym in this sense. The pejorative meaning "fat person" of poutine (used especially in speaking of a woman) is believed to derive from the English pudding "a person or thing resembling a pudding" or "stout thick-set person".[12]
In other meanings of poutine, the existence of a relation to the English word pudding is uncertain. One of these additional meanings — the one from which the name of the dish with fries is thought to derive — is "unappetizing mixture of various foods, usually leftovers." (This sense may also have given rise to the meaning "complicated business, complex organization; set of operations whose management is difficult or problematic.")

The Dictionnaire historique mentions the possibility that the form poutine is simply a francization of the word pudding. However, it considers it more likely that it was inherited from dialects spoken in France, and that some of its meanings resulted from the later influence of the similar-sounding English word pudding. It cites the Provençal forms poutingo "bad stew" and poutitè "hodgepodge" or "crushed fruit or foods"; poutringo "mixture of various things" in Languedocien; and poutringue, potringa "bad stew" in Franche-Comté as possibly related to poutine. The meaning "fries with cheese and gravy" of poutine is among those held as probably unrelated to pudding provided the latter view is correct.

Ok, the French Onion Soup turned out really well. Here is the recipe I used:

http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/french_onion_soup/


French Onion Soup



Ingredients

* 6 large red or yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced.
* Olive oil
* 1/4 teaspoon of sugar
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 8 cups of beef stock, chicken stock, or a combination of the two (traditionally the soup is made with beef stock)
* 1/2 cup of dry vermouth or dry white wine
* 1 bay leaf
* 1/4 teaspoon of dry thyme
* Salt and pepper
* 8 slices of toasted French bread
* 1 1/2 cups of grated Swiss Gruyere with a little grated Parmesan cheese

Method

1 In a large saucepan, sauté the onions in the olive oil on medium high heat until well browned, but not burned, about 30-40 minutes (or longer). Add the sugar about 10 minutes into the process to help with the carmelization.

2 Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the stock, vermouth or wine, bay leaf, and thyme. Cover partially and simmer until the flavors are well blended, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Discard the bay leaf.

3 To serve you can either use individual oven-proof soup bowls or one large casserole dish. Ladle the soup into the bowls or casserole dish. Cover with the toast and sprinkle with cheese. Put into the broiler for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F, or until the cheese bubbles and is slightly browned. Serve immediately.

Serves 4-6.

Easiest enchiladas you'll ever make. Brown the meat, shred the cheese, etc, like usual, but instead of rolling everything up you layer it in the crockpot instead (make sure there's a layer of meat on the bottom - red tortillas burn, even on low) and cook it on low for 1-2 hours, just long enough for the cheese to melt and all the flavors to mesh. I can go into more detail if you like, but those are the basics.

I'm gonna try that one; I have some tortillas that need to get used up in the next couple of days. Thank you ma'am :tu

Mrs. m, the tough part is getting the right amount of sauce - too much or too little can really screw it up. Through trial and error I've found that 1 1/2 to 1 2/3 cans of sauce works well.

Do you cook everything together and then throw the fideo in at the end to finish cooking?

Sounds yummy, I love anything with cumin in it

Brown the ground beef & onions ... take out of the pan & brown the fideo in the leftover fat ... then add the tomatoes, then the broth & spices, and then put the meat back in.

My grandmother was puro south side ... she used to make it all of the time when I was little. I love that mess. :lol

:lol @ y'all and onions ... Chris doesn't really like them either, so if I put them in anything, I always saute them pretty much down to nothing before I add anything else ... so they aren't crunchy. Most of the time they don't even know they are in there. :fro

DAMN you people eat a shit load of mexican food. Unhealthy as shit too.

I had Steak, grilled tomatoes, asparagus, and mushrooms to go with some lemon rice and mashed potatoes.

Finished it off with some Strawberries, Blueberries, raspberries, bananas, and grapes mixed with some yogurt and granola.

Chicken with onions and peppers isn't really unhealthy. Depends on what you eat it with, I guess.

Around these parts I say the most unhealthy thing that gets put on chicken fajitas is sour cream. And that's not even really unhealthy.

Nothing better than chicken fajita, onions and bell peppers, sour cream, avocado, some home made salsa and wrapped in a flour tortilla...now that's good eatin!

91% lean ground beef cooked in a tablespoon of olive oil, diced tomatoes (no salt added), an onion .. and fat free, low sodium chicken broth .. yeah, the fideo isn't that great, but mexican food doesn't all have to be completely unhealthy crap. It's not all cooked in a gallon of manteca. :lol

Made several servings' worth of food over the weekend, because I didn't feel like cooking again until Thanksgiving Day. Paprika beef on egg noodles (think a tomato-based version of beef stroganoff) and oven-fried chicken.

Good thing I don't get tired of eating the same thing easily. :p:
