My Canadian friend told me years ago that poutine is cheese curds and gravy over fries. He said he loved it . We don’t have that here tho so I never had it.

Here's what you do---buy whatever the best "ready-to-use" gravy (usually in a jar) that is available in Ireland. Go to a deli and buy a pound or so of cheese curds-white with spices, pepper, etc..is preferred. Either make fries - wash two large potatoes and cut in half, then quarter, then eighths--drop in boiling water for a minute, drain completely then also pat dry. Have a pan of hot oil going, and drop the wedges in the oil, lightly browning, then stop heat but leave in pan for a few minutes. Lightly salt, turn onto serving tray, toss in lightly the curds, and pour hot gravy over. LET REST for 5 minutes. You will LOVE it. A just right lunch, too. Have with a cold beer.

could you use some imagination and buy some white cheddar or Muenster or whatever you like and cut into small cubes/pieces and substitute? Not quite the same, but it could give you a good idea of Poutine. (Most folks can tweak something, and be creative....) Best!

I’d hardly call chips and cheese creative. I’ve tried it before and found it disgusting. Adding gravy to that mess would be fatty and repulsive. I suppose I’m just not a fan of American styled fast food.

Hey, slow your roll--to each his own. Poutine is Canadian. (why didn't you just say you didn't like that sort of food in the first place? ) helpful hint--get some good rest. You sound cranky. just sayin'

you got it all wrong darls! I don't care what kind of food you do or don't like!! It just seems you knew you didn't like Poutine in the first place, so why not let it go at that? Your kind of reasoning is confusing---(and scads of others say so....)
