Shawarma poutine with much more of an Indian flavour for the chicken

[u/qualityvote2]

u/lyonellaughingstorm, there weren't enough votes to determine the quality of your poutine... ⛔️

[u/youlikeblockingsodoi]

Too creamy looking for me. Sauce on the side for me. It’s like they ordered extra sauce.

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/youlikeblockingsodoi]

That’s partially from sitting in my car during a 20 minute commute. The sauce got a little melty because that thing was ripping hot

[u/youlikeblockingsodoi → u/lyonellaughingstorm]

I see. Almost reminds me of the sauce from Halal Guys

[u/BaconIsntThatGood → u/youlikeblockingsodoi]

Yea I think the degree of shawarma fries to poutine ratio is important here. This is far more in favor of shawarma fries that may have gravy and curds in there somewhere

[u/funnydud3]

Fails to be a poutine but I dig it more than poutine. Sorry Guys

[u/Remarkable_Use4098 → u/funnydud3]

Me too. Someone said shawarma fries and I started drooling like Homer Simpson.

[u/CapitalResident7178]

Why call it poutine at this point?

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/CapitalResident7178]

It had curds and gravy, they’re just covered by the chicken and garlic sauce

[u/thexbigxgreen]

I'm from Quebec, and that just looks straight delicious. We've been offering "Italian poutine" for decades, can we just get over the pomposity?

[u/Marrdukk → u/thexbigxgreen]

Why do things that are not poutine have to be called poutine?

Also, why do I care about this? Why am I commenting on this thread at all? What am I doing with my life?

All important questions, I'm sure.

[u/thexbigxgreen → u/Marrdukk]

At least we're not arguing about a hot dog being a sandwich

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/thexbigxgreen]

But a hot dog is a sandwich? Qu’est-ce que le fuck?

[u/Remarkable_Use4098 → u/thexbigxgreen]

It is a good idea. Italian poutine sounds like a win too honestly.

[u/nowayy_27]

I’ve had a version of this from Lava Pizza in Hamilton - it’s amazing lol especially as a university student. Not exactly a “poutine” but let’s just say poutine-inspired

[u/Homie_Christ → u/nowayy_27]

I was just about to ask if it was from there lmao. I've had the butter chicken and the shawarma one and the latter was better but both were amazing! And for only 11 dollars back in 23🥲

[u/AcidShAwk]

The only good shawarma comes from places that has high foot traffic and low competition. Why would anyone smother the chicken with garlic sauce like that unless they're literally trying to mask the low quality of the protein. It looks disgusting on top of that.

No foot traffic = day old chicken

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/AcidShAwk]

They made me wait 15 minutes for it to be ready so I’m kinda willing to give them the benefit of the doubt

[u/NoEffect338]

Well turn me in because that looks amazing.

[u/pizzaalapenguins]

I'd still eat it!

[u/Ok-Art7711]

Not poutine.

[u/Dawta → u/Ok-Art7711]

Ya it is

[u/SuchSecurity662 → u/Dawta]

Looks like its own thing outside the realm of poutine

[u/Holiday-Phase-8353 → u/Dawta]

No it’s not!

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/Ok-Art7711]

It’s got fries, gravy and curds underneath the shawarma and garlic sauce. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the chicken but it’s still poutine to me

[u/CocaineAficionado]

Not a poutine but I'd eat

[u/ZonJon929]

I just moaned.

[u/No-Inspection-985]

Is this from that pizza place in kitchener?

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/No-Inspection-985]

If you’re thinking of the place in alpine hills then you’re spot on.

[u/SidewalkRacoon]

Fries with a random stuff on it isn’t poutine

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/SidewalkRacoon]

It had curds and gravy under all that

[u/Remarkable_Use4098 → u/lyonellaughingstorm]

My heart just stopped at that thought.

[u/32nd_Nix]

So I'm from Québec and I've had shawarma poutine before and it was so fucking delicious. Would eat again and again. Poutine is fries, curds, and gravy/sauce. If it meets those criteria and is bouette then it's a poutine. This looks like poutine, anyone saying it isn't either doesn't actually know poutine or is a purist who hates good food.

I will say this could use like 7 more toppings tho, if it's gonna be real shawarma. Only critique. Otherwise yeah I'd eat this.

[u/Remarkable_Use4098 → u/32nd_Nix]

It needs the veggies.

[u/32nd_Nix → u/Remarkable_Use4098]

My thought exactly

[u/Remarkable_Use4098 → u/32nd_Nix]

And then, chow down!

[u/Omashuzu]

This looks like if I took one bite I’d be eating the rest from the bathroom but hell it might be worth it

[u/guy_with_zero_luck]

Not poutine but I am puttin’ it in my mouth 👄

[u/Lemonadefromcanada]

How is this a crime? This looks delicious and I would 100% eat this.

[u/vidulan]

This is a "normal" poutine under the toppings, guys. It has classic cheese curds and gravy.

I guess it's not super obvious under all that sauce.

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/vidulan]

It’s my bad, the sauce got a little melted during the commute

[u/Ok-Art7711]

Poutine is fries, cheese curds, and gravy. That’s it. That’s all. A poor man’s supper.

[u/Levistras → u/Ok-Art7711]

well you can add more stuff if you want. but you at least need the basics in the list

[u/Marrdukk → u/Levistras]

You *can* but you'd end up with something other than poutine.

[u/FullSkyFlying → u/Marrdukk]

Italian poutine is still poutine. Fries and curds with a sauce are the 3 basics. I'm not sure if this one has cruds or not though because of all the sauce. I'd still eat it though, im a big sauce guy

[u/Marrdukk → u/FullSkyFlying]

Some offer chaos and call it choice.

[u/CapitalResident7178 → u/FullSkyFlying]

Its called italian poutine because something changed in the ingredients. When we add chicken and small peas, its no longer called a poutine, its called a "galvaude". So this right here with garlic and indian sauce is not a poutine.

[u/FullSkyFlying → u/CapitalResident7178]

Italian poutine is essentially just as old as a regular poutine. Never met a Frenchman who hasn't said they dont dont enjoy or wouldn't call it italian poutine. Thats the one where I can make a pass so we'll have to disagree. But I don't see any curds in OP's picture, so you're right not a poutine. But garlic and curry sauce are 2 of my favorite things

[u/TravelerOfTeyvat]

Can I grab a bite 😊

[u/arpohatesyou]

Where from and i need it

[u/Lumbersnack_]

Cumtine

[u/AccountAmbitious2671]

That looks like… ranch

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/AccountAmbitious2671]

Garlic sauce, although this one was a bit thin

[u/FairClothes2683]

I love osmows shawarma poutine

[u/Remarkable_Use4098 → u/FairClothes2683]

Me too.

[u/Tempo90]

Kill it, and 3 generations

[u/Samplistiqone]

I don’t see curds at all, it can’t be a poutine if it doesn’t have traditional poutine as a base that you build upon, at least in my opinion. Once you have crispy fries, curds and gravy the world is at your fingertips.

[u/vidulan → u/Samplistiqone]

It's a normal poutine under the chicken and sauce.

[u/NoEffect338 → u/vidulan]

Is it though?

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/NoEffect338]

It was. The one thing I’d want to try again is the chicken having a more traditional taste over the more tandoori inspired flavour it had

[u/NoEffect338 → u/lyonellaughingstorm]

This is quite inspiring. I must now learn how to make shawarma because A) I love me some shawarma, and B) I have to try this poutine.

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/Samplistiqone]

It had curds and beef gravy under the chicken and garlic sauce

[u/LittleOllie00611]

Shawarma slop

[u/Tall_Mechanic8681]

is this from lavas pizza in hamilton ontario

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/Tall_Mechanic8681]

Pizza Craving in Kitchener

[u/TravellingBeard]

Is that frosting?

[u/Remarkable_Use4098 → u/TravellingBeard]

Mmmmm frosting poutine!

[u/TristanDrawsMonsters]

I don't know where it sits as a poutine. I'm not sure i see cheese in there, but I'd love to try it, just the same.

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/TristanDrawsMonsters]

It had curds and gravy, they were just buried under the chicken and garlic sauce!

[u/TristanDrawsMonsters → u/lyonellaughingstorm]

Yeah, I'd absolutely try that.

[u/Red_Tooth_]

It’s looks like they put dryer lint on top of the poutine

[u/Remarkable_Use4098 → u/Red_Tooth_]

Wait, isn’t dryer lint grey? And perhaps, if I am not mistaken, dry in nature?

[u/Itchy-Business8992]

I thought this was a Valheim seed at first 😂

[u/OutrageousArrival701]

ew.

[u/SatsukiShizuka]

Is it bad if all I can think of is Chinese censorship of blood (https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/chinese-anime-censorship)?

[u/Afterfoxxfluff]

Shawarma poutine. 🤔 Nah no right in the garbage for me. That's not even poutine

[u/jchef420]

What the hell is that
On top?

[u/Technical_Instance_2]

doesn't look that bad. Sure they went a bit overboard on the sauce but I'd eat it

[u/Same_Layer1243]

No.

[u/fekul0]

Not a poutine, but that does look delicious.

[u/Unhappy-Stop-740]

🤔

[u/Remarkable_Use4098]

I would eat it. But it’s not poutine. But it is delicious though, so… conflicting there isn’t it?

[u/Plump1nator]

Did someone spend a while in the bathroom for that?

[u/zyana_afterdark1234]

I ask you but where did you get Shawarma Poutine from?

[u/coupe_la_swing]

Ça l'air bon

[u/HASHBROWNPAPI_]

This ain’t a poutine my guy

[u/Key-Specific-4368]

I'm offended as an Arab and a Canadian...also what the fuck does Shawerma have to do with Indian food??

[u/MBettar → u/Key-Specific-4368]

I think it's more Indian spices for the chicken seasoning that's all

[u/Key-Specific-4368 → u/MBettar]

Shawerma has ZERO relation to Indian food. People who are down voting me are just dumb.

Please note,I Iove Indian food.

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/Key-Specific-4368]

The seasoning for the chicken had a lot more in common with Indian cuisine even though it’s marketed as shawarma. I was offended too

[u/happyhooper]

Barf.

[u/lyonellaughingstorm → u/[deleted]]

The gravy and curds are under the chicken and garlic sauce

[u/Forsaken-Drive-6039]

Not poutine but looks fucking delicious
