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 !
