Happy Moving andalucia, and perhaps consider changing your avatar to a big, steaming plate of poutine!  Mmm... poutine.


Hurrah for moving! Best of luck to you, andalucia.

And dang, what is WITH you Canadians and your food? Poutine? What the hell, yo? French fries with gravy sounds like a heart attack in a paper boat. Butter tarts? I just don't get any of it. Maybe I'm just a picky eater. At any rate, God Bless Canada.

I thought this was a school cafeteria staple. My HS always had gravy fries as the side when serving open-faced roast beef sandwiches. And cheese fries with hot dogs.

In two official languages:

Poutine est les frites avec fromage caillé et sauce de boeuf.

Poutine is fries with cheese curds and beef gravy.

And infact I'm all about having that for dinner, now that you mention it.  You can actually hear your heart crying when you order this, and it's a staple at Canadian Burger Kings and KFC's and is offered off and on at McDonalds all over Canada, and is a perminat menu item in Qubec all the time.  I guess I sort of took for granted that our chainfood restaurants served the same thing in the US, but really, I guess poutine is just Canadian.  I like to eat it dipped in mayonaise.  I'm not kidding.  I wish I were.  Other popular French Canadian foods:  Tortier (a ground up spiced pork meat pie - a French Canadian dish, usually sooo greasy the crust is soggy) and Les Gallet - aka Fry Bread, aka Fried Bannock - if you want to be real authentic this is served with Saskatoon Berry or Chokecherry Jam.  God, I'm so hungry now.

Oh my Lord.  Or, should I say, lard.  Goodness gracious.  Mercy.

If I didn't think poutine was evil I no doubt would. I eat pretty much everything with mayonnaise. The best - pepperoni pizza dipped in mayonnaise - what God invented the universe for... And yes I am hungry now.

Well, I'm now in Montreal, which is beautiful, terrifing, and much more French than I'd expected.  The first thing I did was get my computer hooked up, and now I'm just trying to get my nice old B&W speakers working so I can listen to music.  
As for poutine, I must say I've never indulged: I find the idea as horrifying as do the Americans here, and I'm vegan as well.  But side_show's right about its ubiquity: enough so that horrible variations, such as Family-Sized Poutine and Hot-dog Poutine flourish.

I don't see why anyone would eat cheese turds. At any time. The whole Poutine thing sounds pretty gross, but then, I've eaten Loco Moco as I mentioned before, so hey. Enjoy.

As for the wet fries - gravy on fries is time honored and awesome, and definitely as American as the fries themselves.

A Canadian friend of mine said that Poutine is traditionally made with lard and gravy over the fries, but that cheese curds or even mozzerella is often substituted.

I am down with cheese curds, however. They are damn tasty. To me, french fries seem pretty dang decadent in and of themselves. Covering them with cheese or some other delicious substance seems like... I don't know, like drinking a breve latte. TOO RICH AND DECADENT! Somebody nice MUST NOT CONSUME THAT ITEM!!

HOLY CRAP!  I'm just overwhelmed by the thought of that.

I am a big mayo fan.  Homemade mayo especially.  My Grandmother used to make KickASS homemade mayonnaise with just the right touch of cayenne in it.

But on pizza?  Pepperoni?  

I'm going to have trouble sleeping tonight.  I think I've got contact indigestion.

Not where I'm from.  Never seen it, never heard of it.  Must be some kind of damn yankee nonsense.

White gravy goes on biscuits.  Turkey gravy goes on stuffing, mashed potatoes and turkey.  Beef gravy goes on an open-faced roast-beef sandwich with mashed potatoes on it.

That is all.

How could you not recognize red-eye gravy? It should stand tall with the rest of the drippings-based products you mention.

Yeah, OK.  It's pretty rare around here, though.  Maybe it's more of a western thing.  I think it's role is pretty much taken by white sausage gravy around here.

What the FUCK is "red-eye gravy"? That sounds like the title for a German poo flick.  :censored:
