In this blog I will be showcasing Canada. Its culture, history, politics, lingo, cities and towns. Just your luck you get the Canadian perspective on our wonderful Great White North, eh?

Poutine
This tasty Canadian dish consists of fries, gravy and melted cheese! Mmmm, mmmm! Artery clogging goodness!
If made traditionally, as in Quebec it would be fries, gravy and cheese curds, but don't bash it until you try it!
I have never had the nerve to try fries and gravy! Where I live (in the Southern US) they have the regular fries but in addition you can also find many restaurants that serve sweet potato fries which are SUPERB except they sometimes ruin them by drizzling maple syrup over the top. BLECK!
Oooh, yeah! This dish is tasty! We had it a while back (home-cooked) to use up the leftover potatoes and gravy, then put grated cheese on top instead of melted cheese. Soon became an acquired taste (except cheese is so expensive here in BC).
Might have to try sweet potato fries too (minus the maple syrup).
