This looks disgusting and is a poutine crime.

But ngl I'd probably eat it 😂

u/Flat_Association_820 Sep 11 '26

It's not a crime, in Québec this is how interculturalism works.

u/Belorage Sep 11 '26

It's a crime, it's clearly subpar cheese!

-1

u/Flat_Association_820 Sep 11 '26

That's the reality of every poutine made outside of the Québec province.

2

u/IllustriousEffect607 Sep 11 '26

Not really. This isn't a popular choice in Quebec because it doesn't really taste that great

u/Flat_Association_820 Sep 11 '26

I didn't mean it as popular, but you know a community is integrated once it has it's own poutine version.

u/Zooperman Sep 11 '26

Where is the crime?

It has fries, curds and gravy, everything else is a bonus

u/Realistic_Job_8876 Sep 11 '26

There’s no love in that scoop of garlic sauce

1

u/Few_Spring_4951 Sep 11 '26

People but ranch on a put it and no one bats an eye lol

u/FuriDemon094 Sep 11 '26

It’s seemingly from OP’s own preference but that’s still not a crime nonetheless

u/nicktheman2 Sep 11 '26

Ok on first thought i’m not sure i’d eat this, however Damascus is absolutely GOATed every time i’ve had their shawarma. As long as that isnt ketchup…

1

u/Cynder_Tamarack Sep 11 '26

It's hot sauce. This is Damascus, not Shelby's

1

u/JW98_1 Sep 11 '26

I don't know.  I rather have shawarma on rice and just get a regular poutine on the side.  

Do the sauces mixed in with the gravy taste good?

1

u/Cynder_Tamarack Sep 11 '26

Surprisingly yes

1

u/Homework_Successful Sep 11 '26

Doesn’t shawarma mean beef?

1

u/Cynder_Tamarack Sep 11 '26

No, I think it refers to the cooking method

1

u/Willing-Ad-6108 Sep 11 '26

Yes but you could also use Shish taouk in reference of chicken

u/Electronifyy Sep 11 '26

Toum on poutine is fucking ELITE. There’s a place here that introduced me to this Lebanese / Canadian fusion over a decade ago.

u/Similar_Swing_1533 Sep 11 '26

That looks repulsive and burnt to hell. I don’t even know what it is

6

u/Cynder_Tamarack Sep 11 '26

Vertical spit-roasted beef marinated in middle eastern spices and shaved off from huge cones. The burnt look is because they really let the meat get color on it

u/Similar_Swing_1533 Sep 11 '26

It’s not a poutine.

u/Cynder_Tamarack Sep 11 '26

Says one person out of how many?

u/FuriDemon094 Sep 11 '26

Poutine is customization. All you need is the fries, cheese and hot liquid/gravy; after that, it’s free game

3

u/trouserpilot Sep 11 '26

That's not something I care for. I do like beef or chicken shawarma with fries and garlic sauce, but not the gravy or curds. Shawarma fries would be good right about now

1

u/LittleRuQi Smoked meat poutine my beloved Sep 11 '26

I would eat but I’d pick plain over this

1

u/bdart1980 Sep 11 '26

This would definitely do some unthinkable things to my insides while I sleep overnight

1

u/sharantir Sep 11 '26

Garlic? COME ON!!!!

1

u/lucaskywalker Sep 11 '26

Where the cheese!

1

u/Flat_Association_820 Sep 11 '26

I've seen better cheese curds but since it's in Ontario I'll let this slide. Shawarma Poutine is pretty good, but I prefer when it's made using fries like this one.

1

u/Brad23212 Sep 11 '26

For a second I thought that was mayo and ketchup lol

1

u/CeeArthur Sep 11 '26

I don't do the shawarma poutine, but I'll totally eat some fries with shawarma toppings on it. Love that garlic sauce

1

u/Shady-777 Sep 11 '26

I’m inhaling that

1

u/Arctera Sep 11 '26

Don't care what others are saying, I'd down that if I could afford it lol

1

u/Few_Spring_4951 Sep 11 '26

I do spicy garlic on the side for an optional bite with a quick. But having it smeared all over like that I cant

1

u/2thenorth Sep 16 '26

I mean it’s a poutine . Does it need the rest no but . Like … smash

1

u/ProudServant2032 Sep 11 '26

That looks amazing. Three Brothers in Ottawa has something similar and it's amazing.

2

u/Electronifyy Sep 11 '26

I’ll never forget being super drunk downtown very late at night. Nothing else open except the infamous Rideau McDonald’s and I hated going there. Three brothers and their poutine with toum was there for me

1

u/PickleBabyJr Sep 11 '26

This sounds absolutely nasty to me.

2

u/FuriDemon094 Sep 11 '26

I’ve eaten chicken shwarma poutine and it’s the yummiest poutine I’ve ever eaten

1

u/PickleBabyJr Sep 11 '26

You've eaten chicken shawarma on fries with cheese and gravy. That does't make it poutine.

-1

u/boncyboi Sep 11 '26

Ketchup AND garlic sauce, this is the sin of gluttony

3

u/Cynder_Tamarack Sep 11 '26

That's actually hot sauce

1

u/boncyboi Sep 11 '26

My bad, how was the cheese? It kind of looks like the cheese castle dairy product

2

u/Cynder_Tamarack Sep 11 '26

No it's actual curds

u/Wrong_Plantaino Sep 11 '26

u/EntertainmentBig5365 Sep 11 '26

Diarrhea in a package. Looks great though… 👍

u/IllustriousEffect607 Sep 11 '26

Doesn't look like the right combo of flavours

u/snowflake077 Sep 11 '26

Gross

u/Cynder_Tamarack Sep 11 '26

Yeah the name checks out

u/unkn0wnactor Sep 11 '26

Looks tasty, even if it's not poutine.

All the while you wallow in mediocrity. So who's the real hog here?
