Simply the Best Poutine and Gravy Recipe

As you probably know by know, I live in Quebec Canada, and poutine is a dish that originated here in Quebec Canada. This dish consist of french fries, topped with curds cheese and gravy. It’s not the healthiest meal, but its comfort food at its best. If it was for my husband, we would be having poutine every night for supper, but don’t worry, this is a treat that we only have once in a while.

Just by looking at the picture and writing this post, my mouth is watering. My husband is like the king of poutine, every new restaurant he goes to, he has to try their poutine. So from a chip stand to a gourmet restaurant, he has tried a lot of poutine’s, but this is the best poutine he’s  had so far. Yes, it’s that good!!!

Enjoy

    I know so many people who love Poutine, and there are even poutine shops near me. But I just cannot get myself to like it!

    Real poutine from a true Canadian! I live in the Detroit-area and we are able to go into Canada and get the real thing, but I never thought about trying to make my own….I might have to give this a try!
