I do not like Poutine. I know it is Canadian and all that, but I do not like it.
Like many inventions, poutine was concieved through an act of serendipity. In 1957, to satisfy a customer's cravings for both French fries and cheese curds, Quebec resturanteur Ferdnand Lachance put both in the same bag. Lachance called the sticky, oozing mess that he had created poutine, which was the early French Canadian derivation of the English word 'pudding', used origionally to describe a mish-mash of custard, cookie and fruit. A phenomenon was born. Eventually, gravy was added to the combination of fries and curds, rendering it even more 'irresistable'. Poutine has become a food staple beyond Quebec. Countries such as Italy have even cooked up their own versions, serving the snack with a meatsauce instead of gravy. Even fast food chains offer a version of the snack.

I was told all Scottish foods were started on a dare. And I believe it.

Now wait a minute.. I am 6'5" tall, and tip the scales at over 500lbs. The point being, I will eat damn near anything, and probably have. That sounds repulsive even to ME, who don't typically let food hang around long enough to be explained to what it was I just ate!!!

Dear canadjian;
I've tried it and I will eat it if I am starving. Other than that I will pass on it. I would rather eat baloot than another bagful of poutine.
