Yeah. Also fries are not a New York thing. if you had a chain called New York Pizza, okay, although Boston Fries still doesn't make sense.

I was forced to go to a Boston Pizza only once because I was in some random town in the Miramichi in the dead of winter and it was either that or Timmy's for dinner.

While we're on the topic of Canadian foods:
How do you guys feel about fanciful variations on poutine? There's a pub here called Tap & Mallet that has like a curry flavored poutine on their menu that I thought was pretty alright. It could have stood to be spicier, in my opinion.

I guess I'm wondering, how much do Canadians care about poutine sanctity. Are there poutine rules?

On a similar note, when does it stop being poutine and start being just loaded fries? I've seen restaurants calling elaborate fry dishes with no cheese curds and no gravy (unless you view any sauce as a gravy) poutine, which seems like too much to me. It can be delicious without being poutine.

I feel like an icebox cake with cookies and what seems to be a more ganache-like chocolate mixture (or possibly even custard like, with the egg?) is just a bit different than eating a straight block of coconut oil + cocoa powder + sweetener from the freezer. And I love coconut oil.

I know spaghetti napolitan (the japanese kind, not actual neapolitan) uses ketchup but I don't think they add even more sugar.


e for poutine rules: I would consider it poutine still as long as it used cheese curds. Once you swap for shredded or fake cheese sauce it's just loaded/disco fries/whatever.

I made a sweet potato fry poutine recently where the sauce was ratatouille instead of gravy. Still used cheese curds but I would deffo still consider it poutine. I have a picture of it at home that would fit right into this thread too.

For the record, ratatouille poutine sounds pretty good, but also it sounds like that might just be ratatouille with potatoes stirred into it after.

One of the staples of Quebec poutine is the so-called Poutine Italienne, in which the gravy is replaced with a bolognese sauce. If this can still be considered poutine by its genitors, surely a ratatouille based poutine can't be that far off. We can call it mediterranean poutine!

I am all for embellished poutine! There's a place in Canmore that makes all sorts of magical poutines and my favourite is the Mexican which adds beef, corn, tomatoes, jalepenos and hot sauce.

I'll make spaghetti sauce with smooth (canned) tomato sauce sometimes but this sounds really silly and kinda gross to me, idk

The 'chunks' are usually vegetables which are delicious and good so gently caress chunkless sauce.

I suffer through an eternity of smooth marinara because my girlfriend, though she likes vegetables, can't deal with the texture of an intact piece of tomato. I guess, realistically, I can probably afford to just buy my own sauce separately, but we don't go through it fast enough to not end up wasting it. There's not a lot of things more pathetic than an opened jar of tomato sauce from like 2 months ago that you forgot was in your fridge.

I wouldn't be surprised if they add bonus sugar in the "American-Style" family restaurants that they have over there, which is usually where I imagine that particular meal being served anyway. That said, I'm pretty sure most commercial ketchups state-side already have HFCF in them because heaven forbid we eat a thing that's not sweetened.

This was the first recipe I found, my mom's version IIRC had basically just Palmin (a frying fat based on coconut oil) and cocoa. And the rum.

Hunt's doesn't have HCFS, seemed like they were making a big deal about it when they stopped using it. Still pretty sweet though.

I was thinking about this earlier but afaik they stopped with the no-hfcs (they used regular sugar instead) for whatever reason. I still like hunts because because it's cheaper and tastes fine.

I'm definitely all for embellished poutines, although I do also love the old traditional kind. I've had a butter chicken style poutine before and thought it was amazing. Would again! My husband and I are making our own poutine tonight....it's definitely going to be a little ghetto since we have no cheese curds, and are using frozen fries. But I'm a huge fan of even the shittiest poutines so I'm excited af.

Also can attest that those Boston Pizza pizza burgers are way better in theory than in practice. I had the slider app version, and they were basically just salty grease pockets.

Sorry to disappoint, but that's only true for wild figs. The farm crop varieties are all able to grow fruit without pollination.

I've been married seven years and only in the past three or so has he started eating non-processed veggies. When I took a handful of blueberries out of the garden last fall he gave me the weirdest look. Eventually they all get over "ew plants" but it might take for-loving-ever. We grew up in completely different environments so it kinda makes sense.
