Poutine is a mid tier food that doesn't deserve the hype, amirite?

It's affordable, heavy, savoury and well lubricated, what more do you really want?

It's similar to biscuits and gravy down here in the US south. Or various other "mid" cultural favorites. They're comfortable, simple, and tasty.

Any food is bad when prepared badly, which is what you're describing.

Cheese curds are better in a bag without the fries and sauce

Exactly. It's fries. Cheese (curds). And gravy. What else do you need in life??

Having different tastes in food is not unpopular dude. Fact is that most people love poutine, hence the hype. Some people hype up mushrooms but because I don't like them is it an unpopular opinion too?

It's good enough, just annoying when places charge more than a few bucks for a basket and act like the ingredients aren't cheap and basic

Its soul food for Canadians. You don't have to like it.

I prefer a good old chips and gravy over Poutine, but it still is a damn good comfort food.

Tell me you have never had a good poutine without saying you have never had a good poutine.

I concede it's good drunk food. But it's held up as some kind of national Canadian pride object when it's just fries and sauce.

It's cold in Canada, hot salty mush (title of your sextape) is exactly what you want

I love poutine but I agree it's meant to be some basic comfort food the same way a pizza is. I guess given Canada/Quebec is a relatively young country there aren't many "historic" dishes associated with it so poutine kind of got elevated as a result of that.

Tourtière is much better

by OutcomeNo7447 1 day ago

I 100% agree. It's a great drunk food, or great food to share. Eating it as a full meal yourself??? How do you not feel disgusting after. Great for 3 bites and that's it

I don't think poutine vs fries with stoofvlees is a fair comparison. It's like comparing grilled cheese to a pulled pork sandwich. Of course it's better it's got slow braised meat

Cripes, I'm from western Canada. Poutine here is what you describe, nothing but fries gravy and cheese, and rarely then is it cheese curd. It isn't special. But I went to Quebec a few years ago and the poutine I had there was amazing. Yes it wasn't just fries gravy and curd, it was fancied up with a bunch of stuff. Still a poutine and was the most amazing one ever.

Good unpopular opinion. Nothing is better than filling a poutine craving.

In what world is poutine French?

It's French-Canadian

It's Canadian. French speaking Canadians. Nothing to do with France or French food.
