For the uninformed, the French Canadian or Quebecóis invented poutine, definitely not the French.

    1. Why all the hate towards poutine? It is one of the best things to come out of canada!

      I heckin love poutine. They’re really good and yup can do some really fun stuff with it. But damn if that’s not a bit too much cheese. Like you need a balance (like most foods) and that much cheese isn’t gonna work. Add some meat or something.

      As a Québecois Huuhh.. I mean.. yeah.. mmmh.. It’s still less offensive to me than if they called poutine Canadian instead of French

      Edit: For people who dont know, English Canadians mocked us Québecois for inventing poutine and often said it was food for pigs. So when someone from ROC (rest of canada) call it their own, its super cringe.

      Forgive my ignorance but I never had the money to travel. That said, I thought this was a picture of popcorn covered in maple syrup, caramel, and cashews ! Lol

      It’s an example of the french/canadian ethnic identity divide between Quebec and the ROC. French-canadians in Quebec will self-identify as “canadian” rather than “french” because they see the distinction between North American and European (everybody speaks french). Whereas French-canadians outside of Quebec will self-identify as “french” because they see the distinction between francophones and anglophones (everyone is Canadian).

      As seen [on this map of ethnic origins](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/s/aJ7aMs2ad7). You can see in northeastern Ontario, which is predominantly french-canadian, they identify as French, and not because they are all from France.

    6. It looks like a fine poutine. One that I’d eat back home.

      I assume that when they say “french”, they mean “quebecois” because the poutine looks perfect.

      One of the reasons why I want to visit Canada one day is to go to Quebec and try Poutine. I’m also very scared I actually won’t like it that much after years of wanting to try it. But yeah, hopefully one day

      Did you guys hear about the dude with the canadian food fetish?

      He be poutine the penis in the fries.

    9. If I interpret the photo correctly, poutine consists of kidney beans, brazil nuts and feta cheese covered in caramel sauce.

    10. Take out poutine looks like that pretty much everywhere in my area. They probably serve it “properly” when eating it in the establishment
