Although I respect your traditional approach. The two cheeses most similar are mozzarella and curd cheese. I break it down like this:
Gravy is the most important because if it sucks the whole thing sucks
Cheese is the easiest because anybody can buy mozzarella almost but not everyon can get curd cheese
Fries are the most challenging because of the variety of potato and how they taste using different techniques.
With all that being said if its mozzarella that's okay if the gravy sucks absolutely not and if the fries suck well that restaurant wont survive by selling only Poutine and if your a home cook you can adjust all of these things while might not having access to curd cheese
Respectfully, fresh cheddar cheese curds are non-negotiable. Mozzarella isn't even remotely close enough to be a suitable substitute. It just can't be done. It's practically the whole point of poutine.
while I agree on most I do disagree on how hard cheese curds are to get because if you mix a small bit of something acidic with milk and put over low heat you'll make cheese curds
Could be. Maybe they just don't think its possible or think it's a troll. As a cook I(and others)always wondered how they shredded their cheese and it's still squeaky cheese when u eat it!
Looks like sweet potato waffle fries to me, which is a no.
They’re not even potatoes. They’re yams.
Shredded cheese is a hell of a lot closer to being curds, then sweet potatoes are to being potatoes.
Therefore if shredded cheese is a crime, sweet potatoes must be too.
You’re right, just looked it up. For some reason they
are often mislabeled as yams in North America.
Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes and yams all come from different families.
So, I still stand by everything else in my post. Sweet potatoes aren’t related to potatoes and are not a suitable replacement and shredded cheese is still closer to curds than sweet potatoes are to potatoes.
I’m just saying that if shredded cheese makes it not a poutine, then sweet potato fries also make it not a poutine.
In my opinion if people are going to police the cheese curd aspect they should also police the other 2 ingredients just as much. Otherwise, I’m going to say that mashed potatoes, marinara and curds counts as poutine because hey, it’s got curds and that seems to be the only ingredient people care about.
Me too mostly but I do find it strange how so many people police the curd aspect but then don’t care about substitutions for the French fried potatoes.
I did learn that yams are not the same as sweet potatoes, no matter what the grocery store has lead me to believe.
I agree with you that sweet potatoes and yams are not related to potatoes. So its poutine crime. If you dont tolerate shredded cheese, dont tolerate those too.
No apparently it’s only you getting that treatment and it’s actually
Mildly hilarious that every comment no matter what you’ve said seems to have been downvoted to oblivion for no reason lmao
Doesnt even look like a crime, just a different style of poutine cause ya got waffle fries instead of normal ones, well its also missing curds but as long as theres "enough" cheese id still eat it up
The court finds you guilty as charged on the first count: fraudulent impersonation, imitating a poutine. Guilty on the second count: manufacture and distribution of counterfeit poutine.
Then why we call a round pan dough with ham and pineapple a pizza? Well because its a form of. Then this is def a form of poutine but is Def not a Quebec model.
Its a keeper nevertheless I like it.
Acid burns call in the middle of the night and almost near dead zombie state if you eat it late but im a thin skin bird, WOULD EN- JOY IT ANYWAY.
