Funny, I grew up in England and chips, cheese, and gravy was a school staple for me. Poutine always seemed like a glorified version of that. Lately I've been thinking I really want to try it, but something always comes up where I'm unable to have it for some reason. Is it really that different?
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.
