Let me count the ways.
Until Av and I decided to include Montreal on our trip, I had *no idea* what on earth poutine was, let alone that it existed.
Poutine is a street food. There are three main ingredients:
french fries
cheese curds
gravy
Nutritious, eh?
Well, it is delicious! You take hot french fries, put fresh cheese curds on top (not melted), and hot gravy over that. I know it doesn't necessarily sound good, but.....it is.
It is so good that Av and I walked through the worst part of Montreal - past a couple of prostitutes, some people that were obviously high, some beggars, and too many people to count that needed to spend some quality time with deodorant. It was hot that day, but ohmygoodness...
Anyway, we were in that part of town because we had heard one could procure the most delicious poutine (poutine is pronounced 'poo-teen') there - at the Montreal Pool Hall. This place is also supposed to have some amazing hot dogs too...but we were on a singular search for amazing poutine. We found it. Delicious!!
There's more on the web about poutine here here and here.
The pictures in this post are of the poutine from the Montreal Pool Hall.
