The Poutine Poll

[UglyandHasty]

As the true representitive of poutine (I'm a Quebecer), I can offer perhaps the most informed opinion.

Ah mate ! We could argue a long time on who know its poutine the best ! Until we can make the absolute test, the test of tasting our home made poutine, i think we'll have to wait until giving to any the title of Maitre de la Poutine !

from TogakureOjonin's link:

In New Brunswick, there is an earlier traditional Acadian dish known as poutine râpée, which is completely different from the "poutine québécoise". The Acadian poutine is a ball of grated and mashed potato, salted, filled with pork in the centre, and boiled. The result is a moist greyish ball about the size of a baseball. It is commonly eaten with salt and pepper or brown sugar. It is believed to have originated from the German Klöße, prepared by early German settlers who lived among the Acadians. Many other dishes, similar or not, are known by the same name.

Wow, it is indeed a small world. We have something called Raspeballer that would be the equivalent. It could be as the encyclopedia suggest an imported German dish.
It should be pronounced with Hoch Deutsch "R's"...

Je me pardone. J'ai oublie que d'autre Quebecois etais sur les lieus.

Si tu veux, je vous offre le titre de Maitre de la Poutine.

C'est trop d'honneur !

Uner chance que ma femme ne lit pas ça, j'pense qu'elle serait découragée pas à peu près !

You better wait until you can taste my poutine. Who knows ! Maybe one day you'll pass by Quebec city

For our American friends, we should mention that Quebec City is perhaps the most beautiful and oldest city in North America. Y'all should visit. I've been, It's magnificient!

And if you can get a great poutine the, all the better.

Thanks for the intro. Its a nice city even if people dont drive fast enough :) There's lots of beautiful women, night life is ok (i'm not talking from experience ), enough activities, even if we miss a hockey team If I could i'd moved out of here though. I like smaller town where you can lost yourself in the wood after a 10 min ride and where you get your poutine chez Le Roi de la Patate !

Its only a matter of time before someone reveals that they put custard on theirs.

I've seen people dip curly fries in ice cream. I kid you not.

I had no idea that the British use salt and vinegar... I guess it would make sense. Over here in America, though, we mix the salt and vinegar with a general tomato-ish paste and call it ketchup, and dip our fries into that. I hear the Swedes do the same.

But poutine sounds much better.

Je considère déménager à Québec. Ce n'est pas assez froid ici à Ottawa.

Also, I'm glad to see that pro-Poutine sentiment is winning the poll. Alexanderofmacedon, poutine is explained near the top of the thread.
