Poutine: From rural Quebec delicacy to national icon. Here's where it all started | We Are The Best

- Poutine, a gooey, gut-busting dish once enjoyed only in La belle province, has become a global favourite. Invented in rural Quebec in the mid-'50s, the combination of crisp fries, salty gravy and fresh cheese curds has become a national symbol - with everyone putting their own spin on it.
Although the exact origin of poutine is hotly debated, Charles-Alexandre Théorêt, author of Maudite Poutine!, has narrowed the search to two Quebec cities: Warwick and Drummondville.
Join chef Ricardo Larrivée as he learns how this regional favourite became an iconic Canadian dish.

I sell poutine in Nanjing China- Love it! I love poutine!
That quebecois accent
Let's see you speak french big boy.

@@SlashvsAdamSadler "Typical Quebecer getting offensed"
That's OFFENDED, not "offensed" ( where the frak did you get that from, lol )
"very simple non-pejorative observation"
How do you KNOW it was "non-pejorative" since you did NOT write it... Did you read the posters' mind !?
( if so, what are you doing here posting stupid comments while you could make a fortune with your 'mind-reading' skills, lol )
"That quebecois accent" written like that can EASILY be interpreted EITHER as a mocking or an harmless observation...
And since 'French Bashing' is such a popular sport on RUclips, i totally understand that poster's reaction :-|
Indeed, odds are vastly in favour that the comment WAS mocking the Quebecois accent, and unlike YOU who assumed it wasn't based on NOTHING, i'll go with the odds :-|

I love poutine. It's so tasty.
Agreed Dwayne!
have you ever had poutine?

Pountine is Life.

@@CBC bonjour
ENFINNNN on peut voir une VRAIE poutine authentique du Québec!!! They can try and re-create this dish worldwide alllll they want (and I appreciate it), but the only real poutine you will ever find, ça viens du Québec!!!!!!
Ouin l'esti Québec. La meilleure place pour la poutine et je sais qu'il a aucune autre endroit qui peut faire mieux.
I finally got to try this dish a year ago and I love it. It’s like chili cheese fries but better and you can even make it at home with kitchen staples. Just need fries, cheese curds, and beef gravy. Savory, hearty, and delicious. Works as both comfort food and something to serve at a party.
I was introduced to this dish why in Canada...I love it..need a restaurant near me in USA
Poutine is truly delicious but I also enjoy an authentic Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich as well. I hope everyone likes them equally like I do, similar to how parents love their children equally!
I agree.
I got to watch this for French class, and I’m not complaining. This is really interesting!
''Labelling it as a Canadian dish when it’s in fact a Québécois dish is cultural appropriation.''
"The first thing I want to emphasize is that when we talk about cultural appropriation of poutine, it's not when people cook, eat, or adapt to poutine outside of Québec's borders," Fabien-Ouellet says. "It's really about how it's labeled. Labeling it as a Canadian dish when it's in fact a Québécois dish is cultural appropriation."
Wait, Who? yeah
Not everybody around the world knows about Quèbec they will probably know about Canada but I do in fact think this is a Québécois dish and I don't think it's fair for it to be called a Canadian dish
quebecois culture is Canadian culture dude
@@alainouellet7794 no it's not the Canadian government would bully the First Nations and the quebecois people the bullying has stopped for the French but the Canadian government still bullies and degrades the First Nations so yes quebecois culture is not Canadian culture.
@@alainouellet7794 so why Canada laughed at Poutine for over 30 years and used it to critics the French Canadian? We say its our culture because this is how we were able to keep making poutine and being proud of it.
Yum yum
I've always liked how people are so quick to judge poutine based on the couple times they ate one in their lives. there are so many different ways to make poutines and we all have different preferences when it comes to the kind of gravy and how our fries are done. if you dont like hot chicken sauce, use bbq, or any other brown sauce you prefer. if you dont like greasy fries, get crispy ones, if you prefer ur cheeze cold, poor the sauce first, if you prefer it melted, make sure the fries are super hot before you put the cheeze and poor the hot sauce on the cheeze, anyways you get the picture. poutine is like pizza, it can be great somewhere and horrible somewhere else even tho its all bread tomato sauce and cheeze.
Cheese***
@@tylenol8084 cheeZe
You can put the cheese before and the gravy after but you have to eat it fast, at least that's how we all do it in Quebec and honestly it's the only way I see it as real poutine.
yes
I haven’t tried real poutine hhu at yet but until I do, chili cheese fries are the best
Best place in Québec for a genuine poutine is Ashton restaurants.
Poutine is so good
Enjoyed poutine while in Montreal and Quebec City recently. But as one who works daily in the Big Apple, I’ve never heard of this being a particularly popular dish in NYC.
it’s not popular no where outside canada
can I have some? looks quite tasty
I always ask for gravy on the side though, because they often drown it.
But you want to drown it
That's what poutine is like what?
This makes all the Canadians happy :)
Especially Québécois like me
Est-ce que Vladimir connait ce met qui le rend si populaire ? Does Vladimir know this meal that makes him so popular?
Ché pas mais je sais que tout le monde le nièse avec sa
Melty cheese curds make this even better.
NOOOOO not melted cheese. Melted cheese bad 👎
Poutine are really all over the world. When i drive from Stockholm to Cannes, I can stop all (Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, France) over to get me some Poutine?!?!?! What????
I'm from Puerto Rico and had been to many countries, and I can say poutine fries are my favorite side dish of them all, God bless Canada.
in Yorkshire UK we have had cheesy chips and gravy as far back as my great grandads time and that's before the war
claymore2of9 but it tastes nothing like poutine, because it isn’t made from the same ingredients
Proof to your claim?
Maybe it's true but i'm pretty sure the ingredients are not exactly the same.
You can't mess the gravy and the cheese..... have to be cheese curds.
@@chrisbrissette6631 it tastes nearly the same, only on the British version, the gravy and cheese (not curds) taste better.
Okay just some advice. Never use "Tu" with strange dish okay. Always use "Vous" as it's a faux pas.
Man I grew up on poutine and then we left for the states and it’s hard to find cheese curds
Gotta live near a dairy region, here in WNY we gotta couple producers that make squeaky cheese curds and there are a few places that make a decent poutine even by Canadian standards.
I found some middle eastern cheese in Los Angeles that worked really well as a substitute.
Just heard about this dish today!
Now I want to know as well, in French "Canadian pizza" is called "Pizza Québécoise", but I've searched everywhere and cannot find any information on its history. Can anyone help me?
Not as popular, but yeah Quebec pizza is unique in the world
Ricardo?!
if we cant get the curds what the alternativ? mozerella?
cheddar , because the curd are cheddar
Maxime Perez-Raymond so cube cheddar or grated?
@@Vehvilainen_Lundqvist cube and take the strong one.
@@maximeperez-raymond3346 not the strong one, the mild look the most like real cheese curds from Québec
Just dont put cheese make a frite sauce.
DIY poutine all the time with gravy packets delivered from Quebec, local artisan cheese curds and fries. I like to bake rather than fry the fries as the cheese & gravy adds enough heaviness. Get the gravy right and you're good to go!
Another video said it’s French food, which that makes sense because Vietnamese has a similar dish. We sauté our cubed steaks with white onion, then quickly stir in the fried. Yum! It’s influence by poutine probably!
Thi Nguyen
Interesting! Can you tell me the name of that dish, please
I'm French and usually we eat steack with fries and the sauce of the steack is often close to the American gravy, maybe Poutine is an upgraded version, who knows it wouldn't be shocking, for instance Montréal smoke meat is actually a dish from western France, also québeckers cook beans with meat and mapple syrup, it's actually a Québec twist of the Cassoulet from southern France. :)
@@tonyhawk94 not really. I'm Quebecois and I can tell you that the stuff we make isn't the same thing as the dishes you're talking about. For example cassoulet is eaten with meat like a stew but bines en sirop derable is more of a breakfast food
@@tonyhawk94 and mtl smoke meat was created by Benjamin Kravitz
NGL I love Poutine. But Quebecois folk are weird. Why was buddy doing the most? Looked like he wanted to kiss me.
they gettin a bit quirky down there
@@DriedBonesDown where? We are north east of the us or east of the rest of canada. Down there would be where kids get shot in schools
Love poutine, this is why just watching this video is painful to the stomach.
I can't find poutine in New Zealand. The closest thing I've tasted to it is loaded fries/wedges.
It’s chips and gravy!
Nuh uh, bri'ish
Je suis canadien francais moi aussi @dream
💖💖💖💖😜😛😜😛😜😛😜😛
Poutine was a broke persons version of supper. Only had a few things to cook with. Heck, I'm from B.C. and knew that.
@Citizen Tarzan are you an author? You're great at telling st writing.
Shawarma or donair poutine is the next level up. You wouldn't think it but sweet sauce or tzatziki sauce with shawarma chicken or beef on poutine is god tier stoner food.
Is this all Quebec can offer ? What a shame . Now let’s head to the Cabane a Sucre
No, it's not all Québec can offer.
We also got the following:
- Le pâté chinois
- La tourtière (du Lac Saint-Jean)
- Les fèves au lard
- La soupe aux pois
- La guédille
- Le ragoût de boulettes
- Le ragoût de pattes de cochon
- Le smoked meat (Montréal)
- Les bagels (Montréal)
- Le pouding chômeur
- Le sucre à la crème
- La tarte au sucre
- Les pets de soeurs
- Les grands-pères dans le sirop
...and so much more!

@@vincentlagrange2329 you bet . I’ll wait till I have a chance to be in Montreal for the Festival of jazz and bent on trying everything you mentioned “ mon chom”
So this is what Tim Allen does now... :D
Leave Tim alone! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
seal meat poutine in alaska awsome
En fr stp on aime plus le fraiçais tabarnack!
The best poutine that I've ever had in Montreal is Benny & Co and St Hubert
Can't get it where I live. That's OK, I make my own. Easy and delicious.
it looks like the one selling at Costco for less than $5
Simon C It is funny when canadians say this, or say they use real cheese curds so their poutine in Alberta is legit. Let me break it down for you, if the curds have seen the inside of a fridge, it might as well be shredded mozza. It is shit. Trust me. Here in Québec, our poutines are made with the freshest curds, barely 6 hours old. They squeak and they are delicious. Cheesecurds have to be refrigirated after 24 hours so eventhough your Costco poutine in BC looks the same, it most definitely does not taste the same.
Le Roy thickens their gravy with starch? Looks like it
It bothers me the french guy is saying 'pooteen'
Tabarnak Ricardo c’est cringe t’entendre dire « poo-teen ».
I'm pretty much like naruto with his ramen when it come to poutine 😂
Wha.... Why did he put the EEE sound in poutine?
This is the way to say it in French!
@@jeffp1370 Non... Malheureusement c'est pas correcte. Comme, de tout.
@@spideralexandre2099 Quebecois or Parisien french?
@@captrien Poutine isn't from France. What kind of a question is that?
@@spideralexandre2099 Poutine originated in Québec, which is French speaking province of Canada.
WTF
I think it's heresy to even call this a dish.
same as mcdonald...
I've been putting this together since the 70's without knowing anything of Canada's calling it theirs.
So basically, chips covered by Gravy sauce and cheese? What?
it is really good. in Canada every won eats it
Especially when you put chicken on top of it it's a delicious
Yes, simple dish tends to be the best you know ;)
@@castle6071 In Québec everyone eats, but not in Canada as a whole.
@@MiggyCR Add some chicken and green peas to your poutine and you got a ''galvaude.''
PUTIN.
Many people are full of it when it comes to this claims. the reality originally it was actually a stuffed baked potato with beef gravy and cheese used by not only french but English in Quebec and Ontario.
This guy claims of 50s is a joke not ever in traveling all through quebec weekly for decades since the 60s did we ever see this crap any place until the later 80s and then by 90s started showing up more and more through Quebec with Ontario following suit.
By 2000 era started getting even more popular and joked about and now is all across Canada. What happened was this traditional real old dish before the first world war likely of this stuffed cheese and gravy when fries started getting more and more popular and people knowing this old recipe tasted good with potatoes they used the poor mans way of just pouring it on fries.
So this guy I was in that region in the 60s and 70s and never saw it any place so complete made up urban myth. And even if this character did that he took the idea from this dish. I met grannies back in the 60s that made it and liked it then as I do now. History in quebec is always tainted. As a for instance Quebec rewrote the history of Montcalm very different from the real truth. It is amazing how people BS like this Lol
Ça sent l’angryphone tout ça , et pour ce qui de l’histoire on à vraiment pas de leçons à recevoir de ce Dominion. 🙄🙄
Keep coping. My dad was actually there in the 60's and poutine was around in drummondville
How died he was a grate chef 😰😓😓
Wait what
Can everyone just say Put- Sin and NOT Poo - Teen!?! French or English!
nah
poo-tsin
Poo teen.... WTF is a poo-teen it's poutine
I'm good with poutine (poo-teen)
poo...in. Poo...s...in. Y'a juste en Québécois que les t et z sont prononcés ts et dz alors relax ti-coune.
Embarrased to have to say its traditional “Canadian Food”. Just a marketing ploy to make fries, curds and gravy popular. Can we not think of something slightly better?
If that can make you feel better, it's not a traditional ''Canadian Food''; in fact, it's a traditional ''Québécois Food.''
I love poutine as long as it's not from Quebec.
You don't like real poutine then lmao
Randy Bell you’re either a troll or a clown
Well its not real poutine unless its from Quebec guess u like cheapass poutine
wtf are you stupid or racist?
are you stupid or racist?
Alles braune Sosse
We call it cheesy chips with gravy we’ve had this over 100 years here in Yorkshire England 🏴. No big deal 🖕🏻
Chill dude.. Also, you don't use any kind of cheese, you use cheese curds.
Eventually its kinda fake. The first poutine was created by russian ( Root,carrots and sauce ), but the modern poutine was really created in quebec.
Bastobasto Nope
No sir you got it wrong. That was the evil president Putin not poutine.
I'm sorry. I tasted 3 different poutines in Quebec, Ontario and Alberta and I think this is not a good plate. It's junk food and the cheese doesnt even have a flavour. I prefer simple fries with ketchup
well there is something for everyone or maybe just got it from a bad place
If the cheese doesn't have flavour, if it doesn't squeak... You paid for a pale imitation poutine, and I'm sorry. Also, you managed to find poutine in Alberta? There were two things I tried to find while living in Calgary: A burger king that wasn't abandoned, and poutine. I found neither.
que ok You are right. Its just cheap fast food and people are calling it a “national dish”. Its bloody well embarrassing
@ que ok You tasted 3 In Quebec, which places did you go to? For Ontario and Alberta, well what do you expect. Of course it's junk food! it's fries, curd cheese and sauce. Simple fries and ketchup is not junk food in your world?
well that is your opinion.
Le meilleur poutine est en Arthabaska.
