      I'm born and raised on Montreal Quebec. The military sent me all over Canada and now I'm retired in Edmonton Alberta Canada and when I go back to see my folks in Quebec, I always stuff my face with a great poutine. Your poutine looks amazingly delicious, If you have the change to have fresh curds that when you chew on the cheese and it squeaks, you know it will be a goooodddd poutine!. Some restaurants will also use spaghetti meat sauce on top of the poutine instead of brown gravy, that is also yummy. Great job Cowboy Kent.

      Yup, French-Canadian here, been eating poutine all my life, not only are you doing it properly, you're doing it better than most of our restaurants here in Quebec. Many make the sauce too liquid and most use regular commercial fries because it's easier, but they miss one third of the flavour! Sadly, nothing beats morning fresh cheese curds, but they are hard to find outside Canada, it's a lot of work, probably too much work, but it's possible to make fresh cheese curds at home, plenty of DIY cheese curds on RUclips...
      Otherwise 99% perfect poutine, I'll try to make yours at home, really seems delicious!

      Also poutine was only first served in québec restaurants but was not invented there. It was invented in Eastern-Ontario in a small french village called Saint-Albert, in 1945 by returning soldiers who brought back home this gravy they got from American soldiers during WW2. In Saint-Albert they didn't know what to eat that gravy with, but all they has were the Russet potatoes from the local farm, some cooking oil and cheese curd from the old Saint-Albert cheese factory. Fries gravy and cheese curds just went well together. But due to its disgusting look, it wasn't popular at first. Took half a decade just to find one restaurant willing to add it to their menus. Then in the early 2000s the UN came up with requirements to be a country and one of those was to have a national food that was invented in that same country. This caused a huge panic in Canada who's govt only knew of British, French and other country's foods. When the media got in on it, they asked themselves: Does Canada even have a cuisine? Only end up with more non Canadian foods. Then the Prime Minister of the time S. Harper went on a road trip trying to find Canadian himself since everyone else came back empty handed. He ended up in my hometown, a city at the time called Rockland, today its Clarence-Rockland. And only stopped at a random chip wagon by the highway on his way to Montréal where he saw that usual food called poutine. As the name suggests it looks like a mess. But tried it anyway and loved it. Then Harper canceled his trip to Montréal and made poutine the national food of Canada. A few years later, a RUclips channel called BuzzFeed found out it was the national food and made a video about and its went crazy viral. The popularity of poutine really started rising from that point on.
      Oh and remember that first restaurant who started to serve poutine haf a decade after it was invented? Its owner who now resides in Drumudville is falsly claiming to be its inventor but because the Canadian govt is lazy by nature, they gave him a seal of approval as the inventor without investigating if he really was. Worst part is that same restaurant owner told the real story of where it actually came from on camera before he started to falsly claim to be the inventor.

    Lived in Quebec for 15 years. Your version of poutine looks amazing! The only comment is mozzarella is a no no in quebec. The cheese is not intended to melt. The fresher the curds the better because they hold up to the hot gravy.
    The best poutines in quebec use fresh curds that were delivered that morning.
    Your recipe sounds delicious!

    Appreciate your effort here cowboy Kent. Canadian farmer here. Warms my heart when you pay homage to our northern Ontario and québécois French Canadians. Only painful part I do admit was when you tossed the poutine like salad. Typically it’s just hand cut fries fried to perfection and then gravy poured on top of cheese curds. The mix of dry fry and wet gravy makes it all work in cheese goodness.
    But don’t worry, as a Canadian we’ll say sorry on your behalf and welcome any kind words our big brothers from the south have 😊

  • @cap1986
    @cap1986 2 месяца назад +7

    This recipe is nearly perfect! Only thing I'd say is more traditional poutines don't mix the gravy in and instead pour it on top of the poutine when serving. What this does is 2 things:
    1: funnily enough, classic poutine *doesn't* want to melt the cheese curds and instead have them remain entirely intact, so pouring the gravy on last (and ensuring it is warm, not hot) allows for that.
    2: aside from keeping fries crisp for longer, having a mix of dry and wet fries is an incredible contrast when it comes to expertly made poutine.
    but yeah, like what many people in the comments have said - as a fellow Canadian, I am very happy to see someone unfamiliar with it do it so well!

      Yeah when you say it fast enough. We Quebecers tend to add "s" on quite a few words where there shouldn't be. It's one of the most important difference between French from France and French Canadian.

    • @doigt6590
      @doigt6590 2 месяца назад +6

      That is not entirely correct. It's poo-tsin (or /put͡sɪn/ if you can read IPA). It's an affricate ts; they are not pronounced on their own.

    • @magnang
      @magnang 2 месяца назад

      Yep, french people from Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba add a superfluous 's' after every T and ever D and it sounds like pootsin there.
      People from France, Acadia or Lousiana don't do it.. it's specific to Canadian French (Acadia and Canada were different French colonies)

    Great video Ken.
    1. It is pronounced "Puts-sin" if you speak French. You nailed the anglophone pronunciation.
    2. It should be a little spicy. Mild chili spice like you used is probably perfect. The spicy usually goes in the gravy, but same effect.
    3. Cheese curds are not optional. If if it not curds, it is not poutine.
    4. Funnily enough, the proper happy dance would be close to a good ole fashioned square dance.
    5. I would eat this with no reservations. Looks fantastic.
    6. It is usually layered, not tossed. I can see the appeal.
    7. Cletus is such a dainty giant. What a gem.

    As a Canadian that makes Poutine at home at least once a month, it's fine to use any kind of fried potatoes and any type of gravy your want. It is the cheese curds that truly matter. And Shannon is correct calling it squeaky cheese, Proper curds have to squeak when you bite them because that means they are fresh. But if you can't get fresh then use what you can get because fried potatoes, cheese and gravy cannot be beat. It also makes a good base for almost anything else. I've even made a breakfast poutine with sausage gravy. cheese and homefries. Kent, I bet a poutine alongside your chicken fried steak would be incredible. Maybe you could do a video of them together?

    As for the chips, obviously fresh is best, but they looked fantastic. I love how you added the coating. I always double baptise whatever, whether it be a flour coating, or a breadcrumb coating, but haven't done it with chips before. I'm definitely trying that!

      You can use mozza instead, but it’s not the real deal without cheese curds. And the cheese curds have to squeak when you bite it, if it doesn’t squeak then it’s not authentic.
      But yeah bud have fun with ‘er, add anything you like! There’s tons of ways you can make it. If you want some inspiration there’s a place here in Calgary called The Big Cheese Poutinerie, check out their website and have a gander at their menu.

The key to a good Poutine is the best homemade fries and a good homemade gravy. I use a beef gravy. Cheese curds are available in a lot of places. Yours came out GREAT! Yes, it is pronounced more like Kebec. I will say there is nothing wrong making an Okie version of this with white sausage gravy and cheese. I've done it (sorry Canadians) It's good!

    Sir you have done an amazing job on this poutine, truly capturing the right way to prepare every simple ingredient. Crunchy, soft fries, warm rich gravy and soft squeaky cheese curds -- the final product looks as good as one you would find right here in ke-bec!

    Great thing about poutine, there’s the traditional, then there’s fries, gravy, and cheese with whatever else you want to put in it. Chicken, ground beef, pepperoni, just about anything!
