Was really wanting to try Poutine but my being in France rather than Canada, it's not easy to come by here. So, I decided to make it myself. A couple of little hurdles, I couldn't find any gravy powder so I had to make gravy by reducing stock and adding flour and butter. I also couldn't get cheese curds so I used a soft, mild cheese instead (unripe Emmental). Had to roast the chips since I don't have a deep fryer. I added some onions to give the stock more flavour and add interest to the poutine. All in all, it definitely wasn't a bad effort and it tasted pretty damn good!
