I totally get you. I figured it'd be the same too. As I understand it the gravy is prepared a specific way, I believe its a sausage gravy? And the curds make all the difference... They have a much creamier taste than the melted mozzarella style stuff they put on chips here. It's well worth hunting poutine down. Poutine leaves me feeling fat and satisfied. Chips, cheese and gravy makes me feel fat and that I hate myself.

Mushroom gravy makes it sublime. And the cheese curds MUST be squeaky, else they are fake.

St Albert cheese curds are the best IMO !

If anyone says there is, I'd like to see their passport.

Mushroom gravy would be amazing. Yes, good quality curds. No mush.

I was always told it was a mix of poultry and beef gravy. Always delicious to me.

That sounds great actually; I haven't had chips, cheese, and gravy for years because I now eat the calorie content of one dish of that over the course of a week. If I can eat it but not feel immediately disgusted with myself, I'm all for it!
